Tom Clancy's Op-Center

1   0  

Tom Clancy's Op-Center is a beating heart of defense, intelligence, and crisis management technology. It is run by a team of operatives both within its own walls and out in the field. And when a job is too dirty--or too dangerous--it is the only place our government can turn. But nothing can prepare Director Paul Hood and his Op-Center crisis management team for what they are about to uncover--a very real, very frightening power play that could unleash new players in a new world order....

A group of renegade South Korean soldiers set off a bomb in Seoul during a festival and make it look like it was done by North Korea. Op-Center needs to prove that North Korea had nothing to do with it before the situation gets hostile. To make matters worse, there are plans to launch missiles into North Korea to make it look like a retaliation and starting a war.

The Cold War is over. And chaos is setting in. The new President of Russia is trying to create a new democratic regime.

Op-Center, the newly founded but highly successful crisis management team, begins a race against the clock and against the hardliners. Their task is made even more difficult by the discovery of a Russian counterpart . . . but this one's controlled by those same repressive hardliners.
