An exciting and extremely powerful read!
Helpful Score: 1
The Op-Center series, created by Tom Clancy and television producer Steve Pieczenik, contains a large cast of characters that runs the U.S. government's elite crisis management team. This sixth and latest installment twists three seemingly unrelated plots into an engrossing, albeit contrived, story. A multinational terrorist group called the Peacekeepers, comprised of former U.N. soldiers, plans an attack on the U.N. during a private Saturday-night party in the Security Council chambers. Meanwhile, an angry Cambodian couple seeks revenge for a murder committed long ago. And Paul Hood, the center's recently retired head, is trying to piece everything together, but his troubled personal life only hinders his job. As the story lines converge, readers are taken deep inside the heart of America's defense, intelligence and crisis management networks. Stilted dialogue and unfortunate stabs at sentimentality, however, diminish the overall suspense.
Driven by greed, a group of U. N. peacekeeping solders becomes involved in activities on the wrong side of the law. When their tour of duty ends, the mayhem begins. The rogue soldiers-outfitted with stolen U. N. arms and ammunition-devise a shocking scheme to get the world's attention...Meanwhile, Op-Center head Paul Hood has cleared out his desk. But his retirement is short-lived. Demanding one hundred million dollars in ransom, the assassins have taken over the U. N. - where ambassadors from ten nations have gathered for a gala function at which Hood's daughter will perform. This time, it's personal. And the Op-Center forces will strike with deadly vengeance.
Modern day thriller with a military/political/tech edge.
Rogue soldiers steal arms and hold UN hostage. Tom Clancy fans will love this one.
Another Op-Center thriller...
Even though Paul Hood has resigned, he is drawn into the Op-Center's next crisis because it is very personal. He risks his life and his marriage by jumping into the fray but he absolutely has to do so. You can't put this down until the last page!
