Tom Clancy’s Op-Center: Sting of the Wasp

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. (May)
