Book - 2021

"In this action-packed thriller in the New York Times bestselling Tom Clancy's Op-Center series, America's elite task force must take down a group of ruthless domestic terrorists determined to paralyze the country through extreme acts of violence. They are known as the Black Order. Self-proclaimed patriots and survivalists, they refuse to surrender their values and beliefs to the left-leaning cultural and progressive forces threatening their nation. Military veterans and high-tech specialists, they've begun a savage war from public assassinations of politicians and celebrities to high-profile bombings, striking without warning or mercy. The Black Order wants nothing less than complete capitulation from the US government,... giving them free rein to make their ideologies the law of the land. Only Op-Center's Black Wasp, a skilled team of military operatives answerable to the President, can defeat these militant revolutionaries. But even as Admiral Chase Williams and his agents force them on the run, the Black Order possesses a weapon of mass destruction that they will not hesitate to unleash against millions of innocent civilians"--

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

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. (June)
