Games of State

Political Intrigue Meets High-Stakes Action

Games of State is another pulse-pounding installment in Tom Clancy’s acclaimed Op-Center series, where global politics and elite intelligence operations collide. Co-written with Steve Pieczenik and created by Clancy, this 1996 bestseller plunges readers into the murky waters of international diplomacy—and betrayal.

A New Cold War Brews

When neo-Nazi factions begin to rise in Germany, threatening to destabilize Europe, the National Crisis Management Center—nicknamed Op-Center—must act swiftly. Led by Paul Hood, the team of elite operatives and analysts races against time to prevent a modern-day Reich from emerging. As intelligence twists and political motivations blur, the mission becomes more personal, and the line between ally and enemy disappears.

Clancy at His Best

Filled with sharp dialogue, complex characters, and realistic geopolitical scenarios, Games of State blends military precision with gripping suspense. Fans of political thrillers and Clancy’s trademark realism won’t be disappointed.
