Tom Clancy's Op-Center #7: Divide and Conquer

By: Tom Clancy, Steve Pieczenik, Jeff Rovin

Narrated by: Michael Kramer

Shadowy elements within the State Department secretly cause tensions to flare between Iran and the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan. They hope to start a shooting war to increase their own power and profit. At the same time, the conspirators decide to up the ante - by deposing the president of the United States. In a treacherous scheme, they convince the president that he is mentally unstable, and a silent coup d'etat is within their reach. On alert, Paul Hood and the Op-Center team race the clock to prevent war, save the president - and expose the traitors. Clancy's imagination is at its fast-paced best in this gripping tale of statesmanship gone terribly wrong.

Not my favorite

Always good on a long trip. One scene more graphic than need be.
A little more pedictable..

Treason at the highest level!

What made the experience of listening to Divide and Conquer the most enjoyable?

Being able to follow the audio with the print version of the book just makes the reading experience more enjoyable.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The twists and turns the book takes and discovering who all the plotters in the whitehouse were was edge of the seat stuff.

Which character – as performed by Michael Kramer – was your favorite?

Paul Hood is my favourite character as he unravels the plot and doesn't let anyone stand in the way of letting the president know the truth of what is going on with his closest advisors.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened in one sitting on my kindle fire. I always speed the audiobook up to get through it faster.

The suspense and international intrigue. It was like watching and listening to dominoes falling.

It kept me listening intently. Every event was interrelated and suspenseful , especially since they were all time dependent.

Well Done!

This one had me riveted to the edge of my seat and burning midnight oil to get to the conclusion.
