Summary: Juvenile
Review: I read a LOT, and was running to the airplane with out a book, so I picked this up near the gate. Oh my. Be warned. This is written for 14-year old boys. Cornball salutes, deep thoughts about friends, country, fellow warriors blah yada pablum. The cover should have been enough warning. I can't believe something like this gets published. This 'inspired by' racket is really something. It's pulp publishing for the 21st Century.

Summary: Great read in the continuing Op Center saga
Review: If you are looking for an indepth study of the intricate political, religious and personal battles that are being fought in the Kashmir region....go get a non-fiction book on the subject. But if you want a great, fast paced read with some interesting characters and plot twists in an international setting then you should enjoy this latest Op Center novel. The story uses the Pakistani-Indian conflict as its backdrop, and many of the regular Op Center characters are featured. But basically you've got a "Clancy" meets "Cliffhanger" thriller. Not a bad idea, even if occasionally you must suspend disbelief on some details. Worth a read.

Summary: A good read!
Review: Ignore the rants and ravings of the Indian reviewers, get this book for what it is, a damn good read. Wakes you up to the fact that there are other fundamentalists in the world who are even more crazier than the Islamic ones we are told about in the press. If Rovin started using real unit numbers and facts you'd think the book was based on real-life events. The scenarios are totally plausible... just when you thought the OP-Center series was getting stale, up pops a corker !!. Excellent..

Summary: Reads as if written to fulfill a contract
Review: Let me start by stating what has already been said - this book was not written by Tom Clancy. For starters, most Clancy novels require the reader's utmost attention. In the case of this book, I was able to read it while watching The Mexican in my hotel room on a rainy day at the beach. The problem is not so much with the plot, but with the fact that much of the first few chapters has been blatantly cut-and-pasted from the previous Op-Center book, "Divide and Conquer". It is also written extremely poorly. As a matter of fact, the book begins by talking about "Hood", but you don't get "Hood's" first name until a few chapters later. I'm not a grammar freak but things like that stick out. It seems as if in the cut-and-paste job they were running, they left out a few paragraphs that were essential to the development of "Hood's" character. Op-Center was once a good series. Now it seems quite obvious that they are simply being written to fit a contractual obligation. However, being the media monkey I am, I will continue to buy them. Also, if you are in the mood for something political but a little more dumbed down than Clancy, I recommend any of the first five books in this series, or any from the NetForce series. Otherwise, don't buy this book unless you are a fan of the series or simply don't want to miss any plot developments.

Summary: Good, but Still Has a Few Kinks to Work Out
Review: Line of Control is wonderful military novel with many twists and turns that keep the reader guessing what will happen next. Rovin illustrated wonderfully the conflict that would arise between two enemies who were forced to work together for the greater good.
However, I do feel that the author does digress from the story a little too often. He sites previous books in the series more then is necessary for the storyline and over-explains military terms.
But other then that I would suggest this novel to anyone who enjoys military or intellgence novels.

Summary: Hah!
Review: Mr. Clancy needs to get better writers to be associated with him. Cell Phones in Kashmir??? Since when? Coordinating a Terrorist Strike in the Valley from Kargil?? get real Mr. Jeff Rovin. You need some education in the infrasturcture of India. :) and how the Indian Military operates.

Summary: Great Action/Thriller -- Perfect for the Beach
Review: Op Center is a great series, and Line of Control does not disappoint. It's well written, making it a quick read. But what I love most about this and the other Op Center books is the realistic detail. The book is a page-turner because the twists feel so real. In fact, as pointed out in a different review, some of the events described in the book actually happened recently. To me, that's the sign of a well thought out plot. It's obvious that Jeff Rovin has an uncanny knack to understand actual political conflicts, and then to create realistic scenarios based on them. That is what distinguishes this book/series from other titles. It was also great to see some of the old characters back again -- including the Striker team. The book is fun, realistic, and exciting -- a perfect story for a weekend away.

Summary: Unlikely Scenario for a Nuclear strike by India.
Review: Pakistan is the one most suited for the Role that is played by India in this book. The situation of the destruction of a Hindu Temple leading to a nuclear strike by Secular India on Islamic Pakistan is unlikely. Hindu's have for centuries watched more than 1500 of their temples being destroyed by Muslim Invadors and have done nothing about it, not because they are cowards but because their religion does not ask them to be bloodthirsty and does not promise them Eternal life in Paradise with Virgins and Fresh Water for killing People of other faiths. The Hindu leaders and politicians know about this and are unlikely to base a nuclear strike based on reaction from their population. It is only in Pakistan an Islamic nation that such a reaction or frenzy can be provoked using such measures. Another point to mention is that the 1 billion residents of India are not just Hindus. More than 15% of them are Muslims.
