Op-Center è il nome in codice di una nuova unità governativa di Washington che opera in semiclandestinità in tutte le missioni considerate molto pericolose. Il centro utilizza gli ultimi ritrovati tecnici in fatto di guerra elettronica e batteriologica, le nuove frontiere su cui oggi si combatterebbe un conflitto mondiale. Sotto la guida di Paul Hood, Op-Center entra in azione quando una bomba provoca una strage durante un comizio politico e la pace tra le due Coree inizia a vacillare. I commandos vengono mandati in Corea, ma Matt Stoll, il responsabile dei computer del centro, scopre che un virus li ha resi inutilizzabili. In Corea, il generale che guida i ribelli, opera per scatenare la terza guerra mondiale. La guerra sarà scongiurata, ma fino a quando?

Nella Germania unificata i nazisti del Duemila scatenano disordine e caos. L'intero pianeta corre il rischio di soccombere ad una catastrofe. Solo Op-Center può sventare il progetto criminale.

The Striker team is sent in to capture an Islamic cleric who is stirring up a rebellion in the Indian government and gets caught up in a full-scale war.

Andy Moore lost his father when he was just a small child. His father, a highly decorated Marine captain, died fighting in the South African War in 2014. A decade later, one of the kids at Andy's school claims that Andy's father wasn't a hero at all, that he released an illegal biological weapon that killed 5,000 civilians. The kid has evidence that seems to prove it but what nobody knows is that he hacked highly sensitive information from the South African government archives and doctored it to make Andy's dad look bad. And a slew of South African spies, willing to do anything up to and including murder, are about to descend on the school to get that information back...

After years of fending off challenges from the world's most dangerous terrorists, Op-Centre has been brought to heel by the US Congress. A short-sighted committee has cut Paul Hood's budget, and the first victim is his friend Mike Rodgers. But General Rodgers may not be looking for work for very long. Dynamic Senator Donald Orr is making a run for President at the head of his own third party. Running on a platform of extreme isolationism, Orr presents a real challenge to the two-party system, and he needs a strong military advisor to make his team complete. The problem is that Orr may be involved in more than just ordinary political intrigue. The bodies of two murdered millionaires may be tied into the new party, and Op-Centre is seeking the killer.

The explosion of a Chinese freighter–carrying illegal workers–in Charleston Harbor is the first sign that someone is capping Chinese interests abroad. After explosions in South Africa and Taipei, Op-Center roots out the cause: warring factions in the Chinese government. But still reeling from budget cuts and an almost devastating attack by an electromagnetic pulse explosion, Op-Center itself sustains a third hit: the removal of Commander Paul Hood, replaced by a three-star general from the Army. Op-Center is now under the control of the Pentagon. Hood's own future exists at the whim of the new President. And the world braces for more attacks….

Bypassing all safeguards, terrorists enter Fort Stephens and detonate a truck full of powerful explosives. Within hours, other bases are hit, and the Army calls in Net Force to help. But they are countered at every move by a cunning opponent who thinks just like their own.

The eighth novel in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling Net Force series. Though the head of a major multinational corporation—and a key player in world affairs—Samuel Walker Cox has a past that few people know about. But that group is about to get bigger. A computer disk has fallen into the hands of the Net Force, outing the powerful American businessman as a former Russian spy. Cox is willing to see the world in ruins to protect his name. Lucky for the United States that Net Force is on the job—and is about to prove that no man is above the law.

On the surface it seems a simple case: a group of African militiamen have kidnapped a priest and ordered all Catholic missionaries to leave the nation of Botswana. But the Vatican thinks otherwise. At its urging, Op-Centre investigates – and finds that the real purpose of the crime is a plan by outside forces to destabilize the government and seize the nation's diamond mines. With its military team, Striker, out of commission, Op-Centre must reinvent itself – and head straight into the crossfire of an African war.A powerful profile of America's defence, intelligence and crisis management technology, Tom Clancy's Op-Centre is the creation of Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik – inspiring this and other gripping novels.

A top secret Pentagon wargame is hacked. Only Net Force has the expertise to track down the culprit, but they are tied up with other priorities. Due to shifting budget priorities, Net Force is moved onto the DoD budget. That means that as a military operation, they can now give top priority to the Pentagon's problem. They soon make a connection between the attack and a Chinese general in Macau. But this investigation is too big for Net Force and they are forced to work with members of Cybernation, the virtual reality nation which has opposed Net Force in the past.

In 2010, computers have become the new superpowers, with their controllers holding world dominance. The Net Force faces the ongoing challenge of identifying and thwarting power-hungry enemies.

It's a mission that only Striker - the military arm of Op-Center - can handle: capture an Islamic cleric who is stirring up a rebellion against the Indian government. But when the border between India and Pakistan erupts, the Striker team gets caught in the crossfire. Now America's most proficient covert team is trapped in a full-fledged war. Their fate rests in the hands of a devious double agent whose own agenda is unknown - a man who could just as easily sell them out as set them free...

Americký autor Steve Pieczenik zúročil své obsáhlé osobní zkušenosti z působení v mocenské centrále USA – na ministerstvu zahraničí – a přichází s mistrně autentickým románem o druhé občanské válce v Americe. Svou politickou fikci zkoncentroval do několika desítek hodin svátečního víkendu 4. července, kdy USA slaví Den nezávislosti. Guvernéři čtyř západních států – Utahu, Colorada, Wyomingu a Arizony vyhrožují vystoupením z Unie. Jejich zbraní při vyjednávání je ohromná přehrada Glen Canyon v Page v Arizoně: jestliže prezident nepřistoupí do dvaasedmdesáti hodin na jejich požadavky, zničí přehradu a životy tisíců lidí budou v nebezpečí. Žádají přistoupení ke všem ústavním právům a plnou vojenskou kontrolu vlastních hranic. S prezidentem a viceprezidentem v zahraničí padá bezprostřední odpovědnost na ministryni zahraničí Barbaru Reynoldsovou, černošskou diplomatku obdařenou důvtipem i inteligencí. Když se pak v Arizoně námořní pěchota postaví proti Národním gardám západních států, posílá Barbara Reynoldsová doktora Alisona Cartera, aby začal vyjednávat. Ale Carter se ocitá v síti klamu a zrady; navíc musí čelit nebezpečným otázkám, na něž není odpovědi. Kdo má opravdu separatistické hnutí pod kontrolou? A jsou to jeho spojenci nebo nepřátelé?

Their task is made even more difficult by the discovery of a Russian counterpart . . . but this one's controlled by those same repressive hardliners and represents everything Op-Center stands for. Two rival Op-Centers, virtual mirror images of each other. But if this mirror cracks, it'll be more than seven years of bad luck . . .
