Tom Clancy''s Op-Center is back with this new thriller written by the New York Times bestselling authors of Tom Clancy''s ACT OF VALOR and featuring a chilling, ripped-from-the-headlines scenario.Before 9/11 America was protected by a covert force known as the National Crisis Management Center. Commonly known as Op-Center, this silent, secret mantel guarded the American people and protected the country from enemies. The charter was top secret and Director Paul Hood reported directly to the president. Op-Center used undercover operatives with SWAT capabilities to diffuse crises around the world, and they were tops in their field. But after the World Trade Center disaster, in the interest of streamlining, OP-Center was disbanded—leaving the country in terrible danger.But when terrorists detonate bombs in sports stadiums around the country leaving men, women and children dead or mutilated, the President executes an emergency order to bring back Op-Center—an Op-Center capable of dealing with the high tech crises of the 21st Century, and there is a lethal one brewing in the Middle East. A renegade Saudi Prince with ambitions of controlling the world''s oil supply has an ingenious plot to manipulate America into attacking Syria and launching a war against Iran. Next, they would ignite a sleeper cell to attack the America homeland, resulting in a bloodbath unlike any other. Only the men and women of Op-Center, using sophisticated technology, realize what is about to be unleashed. Only they have the courage to issue a warning no one wants to hear. But will anyone believe them?

Tensions flare in Northwest Asia and Op-Center races to prevent World War III in this chilling, ripped-from-the-headlines thriller from the authors of the USA Today bestseller Out of the Ashes.When a team of assassins murder a high-ranking North Korean general and his family in their sleep, making it look like a robbery, events are set in motion that could shake the balance of world powers. Meanwhile, a U.S. naval combat ship, the USS Milwaukee, is attacked by North Korean forces in the middle of a training exercise off the shore of South Korea, and Commander Kate Bigelow is forced to ground the ship to avoid being captured. The crew takes refuge on a tiny island, trapped dangerously between the grounded ship and a fleet of hostile North Korean soldiers. Op-Center intelligence discovers a secret alliance behind the attack—a pact between China and North Korea that guarantees China total control of a vast oil reserve found beneath the Yellow Sea. As both sides marshal their forces for a major confrontation at sea, Chase Williams and his Op-Center organization devise a plan to secretly spirit the American crew from the island and out from under North Korean control. But the North Koreans are not finished. In a desperate gamble, they unleash a terrorist cell on the American homeland. Only Op-Center can uncover their plan and stop it in time to prevent a major catastrophe that could lead to all-out war.

What happens when a Navy SEAL comes home from war—with a mission?
Garrett Walker is a warrior. For the last decade and a half he''s been continuously at war—combat rotation after combat rotation. He''s a veteran of the close fight, and he''s taken a great many lives. Yet, all that combat and all those deaths were in the service of his country. Now, that''s about to change.
Since their college days, Garrett and his identical twin, Brandon, have been estranged. They were both in love with the same woman, and she chose Brandon. So Garrett chose the Navy SEALs. Then, following the death of their younger brother, yet another tragedy strikes the Walker family: Brandon is caught in the web of a Russian Mafia organ-theft ring. He''s just another businessman in Las Vegas on just another business trip—until strange men enter his hotel room and crudely remove his kidneys after he''s been drugged.
It''s a rare crime, but one that happens more than is reported. For those in the black-market organ trade, it''s easy pickings, right? But they didn''t count on the resiliency of the one twin, or the rage of the other.
Together, Garrett and Brandon embark on a mission. Together, they put all the rules aside and bring about the ultimate Act of Revenge.
