After an intelligence failure at Op-Center results in a major terrorist attack, director Chase Williams radically transforms the agency into a ground-breaking mobile strike force.
It's a beautiful day in Manhattan as excited tourists board the floating Air & Space Museum on the USS Intrepid—until a horrible explosion rips across the flight deck, showering the body parts of innocent people everywhere. The perpetrator is none other than Captain Ahmed Salehi, an Iranian mastermind whose last terrorism plot was foiled at the last minute by Op-Center.
Back in Washington, the White House orders Op-Center disbanded—or so it seems. Unbeknownst to America's enemies, director Chase Williams has been put in charge of a brand-new, top-secret covert attack team known only as BLACK WASP. Its members, each chosen for their unique set of specialized black-ops skills—martial arts expert Lieutenant Grace Lee, sharpshooter Lance Corporal Jaz Rivette, and JAG attorney and criminologist Major Hamilton Breen—have been assigned to seek out Salehi and finally bring him to justice.
But Salehi is part of an even more frightening conspiracy, led by a renegade Iranian tycoon determined to establish a new Islamic State that will dwarf the horrors of ISIS. From the heart of Manhattan, to the swamps of Trinidad, to the sunbaked mud villages of Yemen, this new Op-Center is America's only line of defense against a bloody Middle Eastern tyrant.

      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.
