Tom Clancy's Op-Center
The first Op-Center was published in concert with an
NBC mini-series. As noted elsewhere in this FAQ, the
plot line of the Op-Center book and the mini-series
differ. A terrorist bomb explodes during a South Korean
celebration of the anniversary of the election of its
first President. Alarms are raised in Washington. No one
is claiming responsibility. The first suspect is North
Korea. Could they be making a power play against South
Korea and unification? If so, how would the U.S.
respond? The job of finding out the answer to these
questions is left to Paul Hood, Director of the
Op-Center. The Op-Center, a largely autonomous new
agency, is only six months old. It has never been given
a foreign crisis until now. Hood's team, which includes:
A General, a former ambassador, a psychologist, and a
computer specialist, try to find solutions, only to
discover something that could change the new
world-order. |

Tom Clancy's Op-Center: Mirror Image
As there have been no new mini-series or movies
dealing with Op-Center, the second and subsequent books
are independent but continue with the same characters as
the first and the mini-series. Elements in the new
Russian Republic long for a return to the glory days of
the Soviet Union. These elements gain control of the new
Russian Intelligence Center, which is very much like the
NSMC in resources, in order to implement a coup de tat.
Their plan is to destabilize Eastern Europe and take it
back. Op-Center becomes aware of the beginnings of this
plan when several American and British agents are
eliminated by Russian Intelligence in a return of cold
war like tactics. Paul Hood and his team at Op-Center
must try to stop the Russian coup before Eastern Europe
lights up in flames. |
