A quick and interesting read that is still believable. Overall, I found that this book lived up to the high standards that come with carrying the name Tom Clancy.

I have read the previous OpCenter book and was excited when this one became available. I was not as impressed. I thought the plot was good, but had a hard time following who was who and what each group actually want to do. Doesn't usually take me long to get into a book like this, and I had a hard time with it holding my interest. I did finish the book and felt there were definite points in the book that intrigued me, so not a total disappointment.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I've never read a book by this author, so I didn't know what to expect. This book was full of twists and turns and easy to read. I recommend this book to anyone who likes political thrillers and sometimes ponders what might be and how to avoid the pitfalls.

A generic plot with lots of technical jargon and lots of action could add up to an excellent novel, but that wasn’t the case as this book seemed re-worked. Maybe we should stop trying to find Tom Clancy in this series.

Although I loved the premise, and was initially drawn to the book because of the bio-terrorism plot, the book didn’t hold my interest, and I kept skimming ahead. I couldn’t keep up with who was who, and what their part in the story was, and I really didn’t care enough to try.

First, I want to thank the publisher for giving me the opportunity to review Tom Clancy's Op-Center: God of War before it was released. Although I am thankful to the publisher, the following review is not influenced by their generosity.

Second, I've been familiar with the work of Tom Clancy for a long time, but I've never sat down and read one of the novels. As such, I'm diving into the middle of the Op-Center series without having any prior background to reading Tom Clancy or this series. As a new reader, I was able to follow along with the characters pretty well even though I didn't have the previous background information to dive into this series. For that reason, I think this novel would be a good entryway into the world of Tom Clancy for those who have never read one of his books. My only concern is that there is a lack of character development in some cases, but I'm betting that's because I was lacking that previous reading experience.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I think the book read at a very fast rate. The chapters were fairly short, so reading a quick chapter was very easy to do. I don't think this book is difficult to read at all and the vocabulary level of this book should be OK for most adult readers.

As for the plot of the book itself, it's a fairly generic plot. Biocontagion gets created, biocontagion gets accidentally released and kills people, all of the superpowers try to get the biocontagion, and the US saves the day. In that respect, I didn't think this novel was overwhelmingly ground-breaking, but it was a fun read. If you like action and a little bit of suspense, then this novel will be a fun evening or even a beach read.

I have read a number of the Op Center books and this one just didn't work for me. I really liked the premise of this incredibly virulent toxin that kills almost instantly and the race to secure this toxin for weaponizing but the action didn't really work for me. It was well written and had strong characters but I couldn't really buy into the whole story line.

It was a interesting novel that has a decent amount of facts about south Africa's bio warfare department. The characters were reasonably well developed.
