This was the first book I read from the popular Op-Centre series created by Tom Clancy & Steve Pieczenik. I noticedone thing though, this book was not written by Tom Clancy, it was written by Jeff Rovin. However, that did not dampen my spirits as I ventured out to read this book. This was mainly because of its exciting theme revolving around India, Pakistan, & the U.S., their elder sibling!The story revolves around the possibility of a nuclear war between India & Pakistan. The other angle involves an American covert operations team called Striker, & a devious double agent in Kashmir who could be the deciding factor between war & peace in that region. Sounds good!Well whatever drawbacks others have found with this book, I must say I definately enjoyed the book & finished it incrediblyfast. So then, let me begin with the good points of this book. Firstly, the plot feels amazingly real & as an Indian I shudder to think if it were actually true! The narrative is fast paced & theres some good characterisation, the ones I liked were especially Bob Herbert of Op-centre & General Mike Rodgers of Striker. The political situation in Kashmir is depicted beautifully with all the facts crystal clear & depicting reality. To add to all this, theres some good action (although it takes a while to begin), nice high tech equipment stuff & good use of local characters like a Pakistani terrorist cell & some Indian operatives. All in all there seem to be no loopholes in the story & the climax is very good with nothing over the top of reality.Sounds perfect? How about a few drawbacks then? Well, it feels really bugging when the scenes in the book keep changing too frequently, almost every 4-5 pages.
