Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Combat Ops

I'm not going to tell you about character development or editing (which were both superb) What I am going to tell you that this book should be on every Military Officer's read list. They need to have conversations about the issues of Honor, Integrity, and the Issues of Command this book brings to life. In the end, the thing most civilians don't and cannot understand is the bond between Special Operators that allows them to function under times where others would have to spend the rest of their lives under mental health care. As a mid level NCO I passed a course that had a 97% attrition rate. I was Commissioned several years after that. As a company grade officer I was forced to attend what passed for a course on how to manage a military bureaucracy. The point here is that many officers are.Now sadly managers - not leaders of men (the generic term). In the end, this is a superb book and it brought out the realities of life under fire.

You can tell that Tom Clancy did not write these books. They are using his name to make money. True Clancy novels had so much more detail in the telling of the story. He died way to young.

Excellent-well worth buying and reading. A fast, easy, enjoyable read. Good character development. OUTSTANDING attention to detail. Has the tech detail necessary for all Tom Clancy Universe narratives as well as fit in with events from other stories in the TCU. It's a fun read as well as, imo, realistic.

I ordered three Tom Clancy books. What I didn't know was they are sequential … I read the second of the timeline first, and the second book I should have read first. Good reading regardless. I'm now reading the book when Scott Mitchell became a Captain … in the other book he was a Captain...

HiI like your delivery:fast.The book was wet because of raining water.From now on you had better put books in theplastic bag first,then in the paper bag later.So raining water can't penetrate them.David.

I enjoyed the first book, this was full of liberal brainwashing, always making the US out as the bad guy. I don’t want to know how mentally tortured the hero is. It’s like Jason Bourne; the movies are great, the books are always delving into the emotional and mental gymnastics. Won’t read another one of those. Would not recommend this book - Not sure I’ll give the next in series a try or not. Disappointed.

Although I basically liked the concept of this book, I had a hard time following the flow of the characters and the book in general.

As a former Marine Recon member, Vietnam era, I could feel myself back in the ......! Very intense and very realistically wrote. Damn good book. Semper fi !!!!

A favourite author of mine. I have enjoyed his books over the years and recommend this book even with the assistance of another writer.

So far a good read not finished yet.

It is a really really good read, gives a perfect description of the Afghanistan atmosphere and Cpt. Mitchell is back!

Tom Clancy has a lot of franchises under his name. I choose his books for his amazing style. Being interested in most products he endorses, I felt compelled to give this series a read.It's written by David Michaels. He also wrote the Splinter Cell novels. I have read the first Splinter Cell title. I hated it. The writer's style really did not appeal to me. I felt like I was being explained things in a very simplistic and childish way. I reluctantly finished it but swore to never read another Splinter Cell novel.I however gave the Ghost Recon series a chance. I was very anxious of finding out if the approach was different. To my surprise, I was enjoying the narrative to the point of finishing the book in a few days. It's nowhere near the Clancy style, but it feels like a step forward from the awful Splinter Cell.

This series is not what Tom Clancy would sign off on. Very hard to read without a lot of believable action. Too much introspect with the characters. Didn't enjoy it at all.
