Tom Clancy's Op-Center #3: Games of State

By: Tom Clancy, Steve Pieczenik, Jeff Rovin

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

In the newly unified Germany, old horrors are reborn. It is the beginning of Chaos Days, a time when neo-Nazi groups gather to spread violence and resurrect dead dreams. But this year Germany isn't the only target. Plans are afoot to destabilize Europe and cause turmoil throughout the United States. Paul Hood and his team, already in Germany to buy technology for the new Regional Op-Center, become entangled in the crisis. They uncover a shocking force behind the chaos - a group that uses cutting-edge technology to promote hate and to influence world events. A powerful profile of America's defense, intelligence, and crisis management technology, Tom Clancy's Op-Center is the creation of Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik.

Fast Paced and Authentic in the Clancey Tradition!

Another great Tom Clancey novel with themes and content that could just as easily emerge as he as headlines of tomorrows newspapers. The sorry was read in elegant fashion with attention to detail in a script which required expertise in English, German, and French. I enjoyed it very much.

Op-center vs neo-nazi maniacs

If you could sum up Games of State in three words, what would they be?

Go Bob Herbert

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bob Herbert because he kicks the butts of the Neo-Nazi morons with the help of Jodi the young lady he saves from the Neo-Nazis.

What does Michael Kramer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He does an excellent reading of the story and all the character voices.

Who was the most memorable character of Games of State and why?

Bob Herbert as he does not let been in a wheelchair stop him from giving the Neo-Nazis what for.

Awful

I was very disappointed in this Tom Clancy book. It was very confusing. It just did not meet up to my expiration.

Readable, but not as action packed

Readable, good narration. A little slower than some other Clancy novels. Good conclusion and results overall.

Not the best, but not the worst either.

While I love to read Clancy's work, and Op-Center is definitely one of his better series. This particular story wasn't one of his better books. The story was slow at first and while there was some real life events in here, the plot just wasn't believable.
As always Mr. Kramer did a remarkable job narrating this book. Overall this is a good book to listen to if only to stay up to date with the series.
