Op-Center

[alva]

I saw a couple of the books from this series in a shop recently and they were dirt cheap (something like 2$).

My question though is, are they worth the time, are tehy any good?

I read - and enjoyed - Red october and thought Red Storm(?) was pretty good even if the latter was somewhat over the top.

Also, do you need to read them in order or can you start anywhere in the series?

Actually, the same goes for "Power play" and "Net force".

No and no.

EDIT: and no.

They aren't Tom Clancy books, they are based on his ideas.

ACK!

They are written like action-movie scripts. They are full of clitches and the good guys always have the correct answers. They never f*ck up, but always bend the rules and come up with a justification for it.

But if you like brainless entertainment, they give you value for money.

Red Storm Rising and The Hunt for Red October are Clancy's two best works IMO.

The Op-Center books are fairly weak. They were disapointing after reading his previous works.
