Publisher's summary

In Call of Duty, this race-to-the-finish thriller in the bestselling Tom Clancy's Op-Center series, an attempt to exfiltrate a Chinese scientist threatens to incite a full-fledged war between China and the United States.

When the launch of their powerful new hypersonic missile ends in destruction, the Chinese government needs someone to blame. Was it a failure of engineering, or sabotage? The chief engineer on the project, Dr. Yang Dàyóu, is targeted as the scapegoat and arrested—unable to help his family as they are hunted down by the military.

Op-Center’s Lt. Grace Lee is sent to China on a solo reconnaissance mission, but when she sees an opportunity to free the imprisoned scientist, she seizes it. With Lt. Lee on the run and the Chinese military at her heels, Director Chase Williams sends the rest of Op-Center to Mongolia as an extraction team. Meanwhile, Dr. Dàyóu’s son has aligned himself with a dangerous group of counterrevolutionaries hellbent on dismantling the Communist regime, putting his father’s life—and his own—in jeopardy. The Black Wasp team races to rescue their colleague and her high-risk companion without setting off an international incident that leaves China ready to release their greatest weapon yet.

Definitely a good yarn.

After having listened to the book, and it’s entirety, I have to agree with several of the other reviewer‘s, it was definitely not written by Clancy. However, we will never have that privilege again, so sit back and enjoy the ride. If you can’t stand the lack ofsplit second rah
Rah, Then you need to go down and enlist and try to live the life!

The story was interesting but lacked teeth

I could not get into the characters as I normally do. The narrator was flat and lacked emotion.

Better than the last 2

Better than the last 2 in the series but still kind of bad. Extra pity star for not being as dreadful as the prior book. Get rid of the overly complicated king fu references. This is supposed to be a Clancy book not a Jacky Chan movie.

I could not tolerate this book

I listened to the entire book. The plot was very dull. I forced myself to listen to the whole book. It started out dull and remained the same through the entire book

Clearly not a true Clancy novel

Too touchy feely, not Clancy style. Not sure if the authors are headed this way in general, or this is just a one-off, but not a fan.

Good one

After listening to the previous 2 op center books i was about to give up on the series. Glad I didn’t. This one had a solid plot and good pace. More like what Tom Clancy might have written himself.

Not quite the barn burner...

Expectation was high, but the milk toast characters (spec op?) was not appealing. Still, it was indicative of the current (and some past) administration.

The worst

We quit listening and bought another book with 5+44 to go. We have NEVER written a negative review before and we have listened to at least 100 + books.

Op-Center hits a Speed Bump

I have long been a fan of the Op-Center series. This latest installment was mildly entertaining but incredibly unrealistic.

OP CENTER-CALL TO DUTY

Wow! This OP Center had yme on the edge of my seat ! Well written!
