Former US Ambassador to the Ukraine Douglas Flannery meets with an old friend and former spy near New York's South Street Seaport. She is seeking his help to thwart a Russian plan to overrun her native Ukraine, but those for whom she is working propose an infinitely more dangerous scheme, one that could draw in NATO forces and possibly ignite World War III. Moments later, as she jogs along the East River, her throat is slashed.
Within hours, Op-Center learns of the killing and alarm bells go off. Director Chase Williams and his team have been following events as both Ukraine, her NATO allies, and Russia rapidly deploy forces in a dangerous game of brinksmanship. But the secret that Flannery has learned threatens to take the looming battle to a whole new and very lethal level. Using cutting edge techniques of cyber warfare and spycraft, Op-Center must respond to the rapidly unfolding crisis before the U.S. is forced to take sides in a conflict that could change history.

In Rovin’s exciting sixth entry in the thriller series created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik (after 2018’s For Honor), President Wyatt Midkiff disbands the Op-Center because its director, Chase Williams, and his staff failed to anticipate a major terrorist act, the bombing of Manhattan’s Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. Williams gets a chance to redeem himself by heading the effort to track down the mastermind behind the attack, Ahmed Salehi, of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence. Williams commands a new secret team—Black-ops Wartime Accelerated Strike Placement—consisting of Lt. Grace Lee of the U.S. Army’s Special Operations Command, a martial arts master who specializes in deadly knife-work; Marine Lance Corporal Jaz Rivette, a sharpshooter; and Maj. Hamilton Breem, a criminologist and member of the JAG Corps. Various terrorist organizations help Salehi as he goes on the run, but the members of the Black Wasp team catch up with him in Aden, Yemen, in a satisfying showdown. Military action fans will be rewarded. Agent: Mel Berger, WME. -

Rovin’s lackluster eighth entry in the series created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik (after 2020’s God of War) pits the covert Black Wasp team headed by Adm. Chase Williams against an unimpressive cabal of villains. When a retired Navy captain working as a consultant for the Office of Naval Intelligence is murdered, his killers have a message for his wife to relay to her husband’s employers: “The war has begun.” A mysterious organization known as the Black Order has broken into the ONI’s security system, and Williams and his team set out to identify and neutralize its members. Burton Stroud, a former Army Ranger, emerges as the Black Order’s mastermind. Stroud is angry about the rise of the Occupy movement, antifa, illegal immigration, left-wing violence, and now the recent election of a new progressive president. The seven Black Order members are all proficient terrorists, and their attacks on civilians are bloody, but because of their small number, overly familiar right-wing goals, and clichéd motivations, they never come into focus as a credible threat. This one’s for series fans only. Agent, Mel Berger, WME.
