Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the greatest books I ever read
Review: Tom Clancy has been one of my long time favorite authors with books like Bear and The Dragon, State of Siege, and Line of Control. It displays that everyone can have their own agenda and that those agendas are not necessarily for the common good. Putting all that aside, Tom Clancy and Steve Piecznik along with Jeff Rovin, do a great job of bringing the details of Military Intelligence to the common people. Excellent book for those who like War, Intel, and thirllers. I would recommend it in a heart beat.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: What horse puckey.
Review: What does "Created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieezenik Written by Jeff Rovin" on the cover of this book mean? I hope it means it wasn't written by Clancy, because it is really a dog. The prose is formulaic, you'd think it was written by a computer. Take a generic idea, have the computer mix and match names, places, and tired trite situations. I'll stick to books by Clancy himself, even though I'm disappointed he would tack his name on such drivel.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not the Real Deal
Review: What's really frustrating about the whole Op-Center series is the false flag they fly under; Clancy and Pieczenik did come up with the concept, but Jeff Rovin is getting none of the credit for the work that he's doing. The concept of Op-Center is a good one, but comparing them to other Clancy novels is disingenuous.

The one-star rating mainly exists so that Amazon.com's readers can see what's going on -- these books are still great, but if you're expecting a Clancy-type writing style, you will not find it here. You will find a pleasing style that's very readable, however.
