Description

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.

    This novel, into the fire is a story along the vein of Tom Clancy. These two authors write a good story where the seams are quite smooth. Their style of writing is so similar you can not see the difference as to who wrote what portion. The main tale surrounds the furtive activity of the North Koreans as they try to cause an American ship to flounder.

    I was extremely disappointed with this attempt the revive and continue the Op Center saga. The dialogue between the characters is unnatural and forced. The authors spend countless pages leading up to an action sequence and then gloss over it while ending it abruptly. This is not a publication worthy of Tom Clancy's name on it's cover.

    Good fast paced action , the drawback is that these carriers of the Clancy tradition have succumbed to the present day greed of current day authors. Charging high prices for a short 250 page mini-book. Tom would be embarrassed that his legacy has stooped so low.
