When a short-sighted Congressional committee cuts Op-Center’s budget, the first victim is General Mike Rodgers. But he may not be out of work for long. The dynamic senator Donald Orr is making a run for President as the head of his own third party — and he’s in the market for a strong military advisor. The only problem is that it’s beginning to look like Orr’s presidential run has a body count. And Rodgers must decide whether to jump on the bandwagon or tear it down — with the rest of the Op-Center team. . . A powerful profile of America’s defense, intelligence, and crisis management technology, Tom Clancy’s Op-Center is the creation of Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik — inspiring this and other gripping novels.
