Not to take anything away from Jeff Rovin or any of the other "legacy authors," contributing to any Tom Clancy series outside of the Jack Ryan Universe, but these all fail to pique my interest...Ordinarily, I wouldn't bother to read any of them, but "Games of State' was in our neighborhood walk by library and I needed something to read...In this one, Paul Hood and his Op-Center agents confront the rising tide of a European Neo-Nazi movement seeking to make inroads into the US through video games...Just OK, but I DO like this genre!

Personal Response:
I did not enjoy reading Games of State by Steve Pieczenik because the plot had many different branches and was difficult to understand at some points. I also did not like the ending. I thought the ending was abrupt and did not bring the whole storyline to an end. I felt that I had to read the next book in the series in order to figure out what happens to many of the characters.
Plot Summary:
This book was mainly about hate groups that gathered in the German city of Hamburg for an annual event called Chaos Days. During this time, the American Op-Center team was in Germany to broker a deal with a technology company for a computer chip. While there, they found out that a millionaire, Gerard Dominique, is planning to spread the ideals of hate groups through the video games that he makes. The team then attempted to stop Dominique and the hate groups he is helping. The team ended up defeating Dominique, but not the hate groups he worked with.
Characterization:
There were many characters in this book, but the main character was Paul Hood. He was the mayor of Los Angeles and the head of the Op-Center team. He traveled to Germany with the other Op-Center members, such as Bob Herbert. Bob was in a wheelchair because of a bombing while he was on a military mission many years ago. This disability didn't stop him from attacking hate groups. Many hate groups looked down on him because of his disability.
Richard Hausen was a German politician who showed the Op-Center team around different cities in Germany. He was scarred from an incident when he was in college. His former best friend, Gerard Dominique, killed two American tourists in Paris for no reason.
Gerard Dominique was a French software designer. He wanted to make France the most powerful country by having hate groups around the world fight each other. He also liked to use blackmailing tactics to victimize his enemies.
Setting:
The majority of this book took place in Hamburg, Germany before and during Chaos Days. This was important to the plot because the antagonists in the book are all gathering at Chaos Days which are held in Germany. There are many references to German cities, regions, rivers, and major roads.
Thematic Connection:
The main theme of this book was good versus evil. This was portrayed when the Op-Center members stayed in Germany to help fight the hate groups rather than leaving and going back to the United States.
Recommendation:
I would recommend Games of State to high schoolers or above because of how confusing the book was. It deals with real-world issues that anyone younger may not quite fully understand. I think that males would most likely enjoy this book more than females because there was some violence that females probably wouldn’t enjoy. Another recommendation that I have is to read the first two books in order to feel a deeper connection to the characters.

Creative and fast paced story. Great real characters

Qualche stereotipo di troppo e alcune parti un po' troppo poco credibili, ma alla fine dei conti è abbastanza godibile

The demons of hate are reemerging in the newly united Germany and finding root in various countries around the world linked through the shadowy recesses of the Internet and fueled by a businessman looking both for profit and triumph of bigotry, yet Op-Center must find a way to prevent chaos from exploding around the world. Games of State is the third installment of Op-Center that bears the name of its creator Tom Clancy, yet is written by Jeff Rovin. From Germany to the streets of the U.S. to southern France, the action and thrill are palpable as the race to prevent the rise of a new wave of hate.
Gerard Dominique, a French billionaire financier and computer game mogul, is uniting hate groups throughout Europe and the United States to destabilize numerous countries and allow France to once again lead Europe. Part of his plan is to use hate filled video games downloaded onto the Internet and well time hate crimes in various locations to bring about political and societal chaos. Yet the unplanned actions of other hate leaders resulting in a kidnapped young American woman needing to be rescued, the hate-filled enticement towards the son of Op-Center’s Striker team leader over the Internet, the unexpected meeting of Op-Center head Paul Hood with his former fiancée now a Dominique employee, and Dominique’s own hubris results in his plans failing to materialize.
Released in 1996, Games of State brought together many political and cultural threads to create the backdrop of very riveting political thriller with action-packed sequences as well. However well the set up and the ideas were, the use of formulaic tropes that are standard in one-hour TV dramas and paperbacks undermined the potential of a book. What was most disheartening was the ease in which I was able to see which newly introduced characters would result in instantly being important in a 100 or 200 pages just when they were needed, these and other plot twists decreases the enjoyment of the book. Though one can argue that my complaints are to be expected in this type of book, I would argue that one doesn’t mind if the tropes are written well.
Games of State had an intriguing plot idea, but was undermined by poor writing decisions that turned what could have been a good page-turner into an okay read. Though the book’s execution was poor, it was a better read than the previous Op-Center installment, Mirror Image, even with my rating being the same for the both of them.

I enjoyed the setting of the story and thought it was still rather relevant in today's day and age as the book deals with issues like hate crimes, Neo-Nazism and White Supremacy. I liked the sub-plot between Paul Hood and Nancy Jo and it is rather sad that his strong moral character doesn't save his marriage in the later books.
4 Stars and not 5 because I felt that the ending was slightly rushed and too 'convenient'. For example, the phone call with M Dominique threatening Hausen was not expanded on in the rest of the book and there was no direct conflict between the two characters except at the end with the helicopter flight. Another area that I felt was lacking was the character Jean-Micheal Horne. While he featured prominently in the beginning, after the attack on Richter's club he was relegated to a back seat crew and while I thought Richter would make use of him during the rally, there was no mention of him except after Hebert and Jody escaped the Nazi rally.

Another Tom Clancy thriller, Games of State, like most Clancy books, each book is built off a previous one. This book is thrown around the continents, with new characters that keep things interesting. I love how Rovin introduces new characters, showing every bit of background up front yet leaving you with a since that you still don't know everything. I must say you become more aware of each character and you can understand how the react just based on the events of a single book. You clench your teeth or bit your cheek (what ever you do when your nervous) when you realise what all is going wrong. Each new character makes you realise how different each person is, and how we all can bring something to the table.

As usual, Clancy gives you a fast action, complicated plot. This one took place in four locations and each chapter moved to a different location. Short chapters kept the pace fast, but I was not so riveted to it that I couldn't start another book and leave this one several times to be busy with other things for fairly long periods.
I still liked the way that you just didn't know how the characters were going to survive. The nice touch was that one of the characters was a young, naive girl and another a criminal young woman, who changed her ways. All the rest were males of considerable experience in international intrigues.

Games of State (Tom Clancy's Op-Center, Book 3) is a 200 page, author-less thriller packed into 500 pages. In this comic story, the bad guy is the cliched reclusive, megalomaniac billionaire planning to take over the world ... with the aid of video games and neo-nazies.
Without spoiling this comic book plot or the 68 boring cliff hangers, the good guys win.

Well Tom Clancy normally writes good novels. I am surprised at how cliche and simultaneously boring this novel was. The only reason I can't complain is that I got it from the library here at Camp Daegu so I didn't have to pay to read it. I haven't given up on Tom Clancy though, I will press on and try reading some of his other novels.

A REAL winner for my last book read in 2016. Total page turner from start to finish and even a final surprise affer the climax of the book in the last few pages. If you like OPS Center books read it! Very similar to the "24" series from TV.

This story is about white supremacy, particularly in Germany.
The book has the usual format, a lot of dates/times and locations, followed by lists of characters and their descriptions, and some events involving those characters. I really don't know how most of the readers cope with these details. Do they usually try to remember who all these people are, or just go with the flow, and hopefully when these characters do something later it will make sense to them. Me? Well, I've started writing things down a few years ago, but it gets tiring spending so much time writing. When I skip writing someone down, inevitably that character will turn up later and for the life of me I can't even remember who that is. In this book, right around page 200, it finally ceases (mostly) introducing new characters, and it becomes less stressful and more enjoyable to read.
Paul Hood's love life seems to get more and more attention, while it gets more and more complicated. I swear that at the beginning of book 1, he and his wife loved each other and were devoted to each other, but I guess I must have read that wrong. Not only he has an admirer in Ann Farris, whom he could barely resist, now he also has a lost love. I think it gets too much, and it makes Paul Hood's character weaker than it needs to be. I also don't understand the very little attention paid on the coincidence of Nancy Jo Bosworth's sudden reappearance.
I like both Jody Thompson and Bob Herbert here. Jody seems like a normal young lady, a bit confused, a bit silly, a lot scared, sometimes at an inopportune time, but she always manages to pull herself together. Bob Herbert is a bit too crazy for someone who can't always defend himself, but he shows a lot of kindness trying to protect Jody even when she is practically committing suicide by her actions. He tries to get Jody to calm down and do what needs to get done, even using his disability to wake her up.
Martha Mackall - I can't like her here even though the book attempts to make Mike Rodgers to be the bad guy. You do not blindside your own team by siding with the other side without warning your team first.
The political take on this story is quite interesting. A very small fraction of people in group A commit atrocities against members of group B, which happens to be a minority group. People in group B retaliate with violence, vandalism and riots. Because B is a minority group, the government is hesitant to take a lot of actions against them. Group A feels unsatisfied that people in group B get away with things and this mobilizes the movement.
This is probably my favorite of the Op-Center stories to date, probably because the plot seems to come together very well to me. What I don't catch is what happens to Jean-Michel?

The time is 1996. East and West Germany have been
re-unified for only six years. It's a nail-biting time
for people fearing the New Germany will mean a
resurgence of a New Nazism.
A dastardly French computer mogul, M. Dominique
seeks just such a resurgence. He finances an emergent
Neo-Nazi terrorist group, Feuer. He also perfects
various racist computer games, fitted with literal
"joysticks"--controls which conduct pleasure to
the player when s/he achieves the game's racist
actions. He plans to flood the United States with
the addictive game.
His goal: to destabilize both the New Germany
and USA by provoking widespread race wars.
The Op-Center's main missions (which comprise
the last 200 pages of the book) are (1) to gain
entry and search Dominique's warehouse at the
Demain Corporation, and (2) rescue a young
American woman--a total "civvy" named Jody,
who gains courage as the novel unfolds--from
the clutches of pursuing Neo-Nazis in the forests
of Wunstorf, Germany. Occasionally, the agents
in France and Germany request IMINT and other
assistance from the Op-Center in Washington, DC.
The book has plenty of cat-and-mousing and
military prep and action, so readers who enjoy
such fare won't be disappointed. Also, the author(s)
don't skimp on military details. For myself, I
wondered whether the story really needed
500 pages(!) to be told. But I persevered--to the
credit of the writers, it's a pretty breezy read. Not
sure I'd read another book in this series--but I've
started Politika, which weighs in at
just over 300 pages, so I'm optimistic I'll enjoy
this (shorter) book (from the Power Plays Clancy-
series).

Es como cualquier película gringa de domingo a cualquier hora del día; los gringos son buenos, santos, la policía del mundo, ellos ganaran, y los malos no podrán hacer nada que esté contra sus intereses. Con melosidad, patriotismo, siendo predecible. ¡Pero! La acción entretiene y es interesante como se enreda la trama. Aunque al final termine todo resolviendose de manera idiotamente sencilla.
Los libros de Clancy son así, la mayoría de las veces, sin embargo es una buena lectura cuando solo te quieres relajar y ver acción. Igual que con las películas. Solo gastas algo se tiempo, pero lo pasas relativamente bien.
Por ello no le doy menos estrellas, ni merece la quinta. Las vueltas de tuerca y las dudas que plantea en el lector lo ponen sobre el promedio, aunque no aporte bada valioso al mundo de la literatura.

Esta historia podría reflejar el actual hoy en día. Hay más odio y miedo que nunca hoy. Todo se entrelaza de manera excelente. El General Mike Rogers planeó visitar a la viuda e hijo de su comandante de la fuerza asesinado en Rusia en su última misión. Al llegar a la casa, la viuda le dice a Mike que un amigo del niño lo ha llevado a un sitio web lleno de odio. Cuando el General ve el material, sabe que tiene que hacer algo. Así comienza una gran novela. Paul Hood está en Alemania buscando un nuevo software y hardware para el opcenter cuando encuentra el mismo tipo de software corrupto. Y de ahi todo parte.

Written in 2004, this thriller about racism and white supremacy is technologically dated but surprisingly relevant to current American culture and World Nationalism.
FYI - this was a collaboration between Clancy and Steve Pieczenik, a Harvard trained psychiatrist with an M.D. from Cornell University Medical College and a PhD in International Relations from M.I.T. Pieczenik was Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, and James Baker, and is a best selling novelist in his own right. Both plot and character development in this book are outstanding. Games of State is a great summer distraction.

Excellent and great story. This could just reflect today. There is more hate and fear then ever today. But Paul's team did it. Bob turned up big time. Especially being handicapped. Couldn't thing of another person who could have done that. Then Paul's past comes back to haunt him. Then he and Mike get engrossed with German foreign minister and his dirty past. But what an excellent way to intertwine everything. People like Dominique need to be hung. Can't wait for next chapter. Thanks, Carl Clause

This one lost me a bit with the Bob Herbert storyline. His actions in the wooded hills at night ambushing and sniping thugs and the car chase/crash section were just a bit too fantastical to believe. And then the Osprey takedown of the helicopter just went way too far. The description of that ridiculous sequence of events is so outrageously impossible from an aeronautical perspective that I was actually laughing. I hope Book 4 returns to more believable action.

Mi primer contacto con Tom Clancy. Pese a ser una obra antigua y con claros problemas del tiempo en el que fue escrita, me parece interesante la perspectiva del auge del fascismo y la xenófobia. Sin duda seguiré leyendo a Tom Clancy aunque recomiendo empezar por el primer libro de esta saga para conocer más los personajes y referencias a otros libros.

Solid chapter of the Op-Center series.
It introduces some new angles into the main characters (especially Hood) that aren’t necessarily the bread and butter in a Clancy novel, but that do work in humanising the protagonists.
Fast-paced, but detailed enough as a Clancy story can be, it lacks perhaps a bit of finesse in the conclusion, which was good, but slightly rushed

Better than the second of the series, still pretty mindless and breezy. A good car chase and adventure with a former spy who is now wheelchair bound helped a snagging, pretty meandering middle. I liked that “Pope” Hood has his ethics and moral compass tested with the intro of a long lost love. Lots of plot contrivances there but who cares, another fun read in a pretty descent series.
June 7, 2018
The multiple thread approach at the beginning of the book as hard to follow and resulted in a slower than expected pace. By mid-book, the threads began to come together and the pace picked up. The remainder of the book was a page-turner.

Truly a waste of time. Read this in a day when the US Capital was stormed by right wing protesters. Always find these books a bit laughable in the omnipresent and far reaching skills of the US team and also the assumption that the US is always right. Can read 500 pages in a day though....
September 25, 2021
The book is so 90s it talks about E-Mail, on-line, and cellular phones. Also the villain is trying to take over the world with...video games.
If you treat it as camp it's great. If you try to take it seriously on the same level as novels like The Sun of All Fears, you will be disappointed.

The plot of this book details how hate groups can be organized and mobilized to create the chaos that can unleash the rise of neo-Nazi ideology on an unsuspecting world. I found the subject matter unique for a book of this genre, but not unreasonable.

This takes place in 2015 and what is going on today in the US is almost the same story.
