Tom Clancy’s Op-Centre, the series of international thrillers centred on the National Crisis Management Centre in Washington, is now firmly established as a bestselling phenomenon – a must for technothriller fans around the world.

Armed with nerve gas, they enter the UN building in New York and take ten ambassadors hostage, threatening to kill one every half-hour.
The international crisis that ensues is beyond anything that Paul Hood has ever faced before…
