This review is from: Op-Center / Mirror Image / Games of State (Paperback)

This book was eloquently bad. The book started very slowly with the meeting of old friends that have a military record. They walk around South Korea for a long time, but nothing seems to happen. But in a matter a minutes, a political party is forming, a convention is going on, a bomb is detonated, terrorists are spotted and a full fledged murder, international affair is on stage. The only hope of stopping international war is a crack team of government members known as the "op center". The team battles along the way as the terrorists start killing key people. At the culmination, the center is infiltrated and a renegade group of the op center staff tours the world looking for the mysterious "eye patch", the man said to have been responsible for the bomb in South Korea. They follow him around and then end up killing him in an anti-climatic gunfight. (Don't worry that's not how it ends.)

The problem with the book is that it lacks any reality. It spends 40 pages on a dinner chat with a couple, which is mindless chatter. However, the bomb sequence is only one page. If you are looking for a long read, here it is. If you're looking for a big bang, keep looking.
