I could not finish this book. It's weak adaptation of Tom Clancy's approach to writing. The characterization is weak and the plot is not that engaging.

I received an ARC through NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

The story begins with a space returning to Earth with 4 astronauts when all power is lost. They are unable to get the vehicle into proper entry and are all burned up.and there are no survivors. Why did this happen?

Flash forward and the story then starts with the "Black Wasps" team training. The head of the team is Chase Wright who receives a call from his friend "Berry". He is told about a double agent who wishes to meet Chase. Chase agrees and goes to the location where he is abducted. Another member of the team, Major Breen, goes to the location where Chase's phone is located. Once he arrived and found the phone, he was killed.

It is then that the remaining members of the team realize that they have been targeted. They even learn that family members are fair game as well. Two of the members go on the run while the Capt. Mann remains at her residence. The other two begin planning on how to save Chase. These two soon meet up with another organization.

To discover who was responsible for CXhase's abduction, whay event happened that resulted in this type of action as well as how the team made out in the end, then you need to read this book. The ending is unexpected.

I was hooked from the first page! China is super pissed after the raid and extraction of a Chinese scientist. For retribution, China sabotages the reentry of a space shuttle resulting in a total loss and killing a member of Congress. Unbeknownst to the members of Black Wasp, they are being targeted for assassination after their identities were discovered. Their lives, and possibly the future of Black Wasp, are being used as a political football. With the president seemingly willing to throw them under the bus, they have only each other to rely on.

Op-Center: Fallout is a very good technothriller with a frighteningly plausible scenario. Rovin does a good job of developing characters and keeping the story moving with heart pounding action. I'm looking forward to seeing what Rovin has in store next.

Thank you to St. Martin's Griffin and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of Op-Center: Fallout.

So, if you're looking for a book that will keep you up late at night, this is definitely one to add to your reading list.

Tom Clancy's Op-Center Fallout is the twenty-second book in the series. This is the first one I have read in the series. I had a little difficulty feeling attachment to the main characters, if I had read some of the prior books, I might have felt more involved in the story. How ever this is a fast moving with many twists and turns as you would expect. It is a riveting, and intense page turner with a cliffhanger which leaves you wondering about what comes next.

I have not read any of the Ops Center series (although I've read many other "Tom Clancy" novels) so I felt a little at sea with the characters and their relationships. That said, the situation was easy to jump into and the plot buzzes along. The Chinese are retaliating against the US and specifically against the Black Wasp team for exfiltrating a Chinese scientists, There are lots of threats against the team and their families, lots of bad guys, and some good ones too. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. This isn't deep and it's a page turner making it a good one for the beach or travel.

I received this book from the author, Jeff Roivin, and the folks at @NetGalley in return for an unbiased review.

Embarrassing but true factoid: Although I'm somewhat of a Tom Clancy "regular," this is the first of the twenty-one previously written Op-Center books I've read in a long while (I think I recall reading a few of the first few books, but I am pretty sure that I have not read any of the recent "chapters". It won't, I assure you, be the last (unless for some reason they stop being written).

It's all very fast-paced and, as might be expected, the outcome goes right down to the wire. There's even a cliffhanger that could change the direction of future books. None of this I can elaborate upon without spoiling things for other readers, but suffice it to say it's all very exciting and forced me to delay bedtime in order to find out how things turned out. That said, I thank the publisher, via NetGalley, for allowing me to read and review a pre-release copy. Bring on the next one - I'm eager to see how that cliffhanger is resolved!

Jeff Roivin's entry into Tom Clancy's Op-Center universe (Fall Out) starts out with a bang. As an American Space Shuttle heads back to Earth, it suddenly runs into some technical issues. The crew scrambles to manually land, but suddenly the thrusters ignite and they are thrown off course causing the space shuttle to explode as it tries to reenter Earth's atmosphere. It soon becomes clear that the explosion is a retaliatory move by the Chinese for the extrication of a top Chinese scientist by Op-Center and the Black Wasps, and they are not satisfied with one act of retribution. It becomes clear that the Chinese want to obliterate Op-Center, The Black Wasps, and everyone who is close to them.

I thought this was a good entry into the series. The main reason I gave this book four stars instead of five was that I felt you were missing a little bit if you didn't know the back story of the Chinese scientist being extricated. While this didn't make the story confusing, I think you would struggle as the previous novel was barely explained, yet it was the whole premise of the retribution. Aside from that, I thought this was an excellent read. The book was fast-paced and there was a good combination of political intrigue, action, and espionage.

Overall, I feel if you're a reader of the series, this is a great book. If this is your first time reading this series, you might feel a little bit missing. Either way, this book is very enjoyable and worth the read.

As with all my literary ramblings, these are just some of my five cents worth

This book was ok. i was a little disappointed since this is something that Tom Clancy started. Maybe I am just used to the way he writes and tells the story. The book in all was ok and the plot was ok. Just couldn't really follow it and to me it was a little bland. I am giving this 4 stars.

Embarrassing but true factoid: Although I'm somewhat of a Tom Clancy "regular," this is the first of the 21 previously written Op-Center books I've read. It won't, I assure, be the last unless for some reason they stop being written. That's despite not being a big fan of espionage, torture (especially torture) and all that gory military stuff.

Members of the uber-secret Black Wasp group affiliated with the (so far) government-sanctioned Op-Center pulled off a coup that made the Chinese look bad - or so they decided - and they retaliated with an almost unthinkable act. Trying to get to the bottom of it - and prevent escalation - Chase Williams, head of the Op-Center, agrees to meet with a man who's been trusted by Matt Berry, head of think tank Trigram Institute. That, alas, didn't turn out well; and now, the other Op-Center members are on high alert against real threats to their own lives while at the same time trying to figure out how to help their much-admired commander. Thrown in the mix is a Chinese defector and his family - a man the Chinese very much want back - and a wishy-washy President who doesn't seem to have a backbone.

It's all very fast-paced and, as might be expected, the outcome goes right down to the wire. There's even a cliffhanger that could change the direction of future books. None of this I can elaborate upon without spoiling things for other readers, but suffice it to say it's all very exciting and forced me to delay bedtime in order to find out how things turned out. And just for the record, two other things: first, there's really not a ton of the aforementioned gory military stuff; and second, the book really, really needs another serious editing pass. Way too many glaring errors to be overlooked at this stage of the game. That said, I thank the publisher, via NetGalley, for allowing me to read and review a pre-release copy. Bring on the next one - I'm eager to see how that cliffhanger is resolved!

Great descriptions of the action and thoughts outlining the plans to try and have the Americans out think the Chinese. Two members of the Black Wasp team are doing their best to thwart the Chinese. As usual, some people die in the attempt to right a wrong. Good book.

What's not to love with a Tom Clancy novel? As expected, this highly anticipated novel exceeded expectations!

The concern over nuclear arms with China has the United States using the Black Wasp team to rescue Beijing’s top scientist being held captive. Now in Washington D.C, they are a target of the Chinese assassins. I enjoyed the activities of the Black Wasp team. I did not think the interface between the Black Wasp team and the President was realistic. I would have liked more character development in the book. I am a fan of Tom Clancy and the other Op-Center books. I did not think this one was as good.

Fallout portrays a realistic view of what a conflict with China might look like. Rovin's book continues in the Clancy fast paced tradition. You won't put the book down once you start.

I received this book as a free copy.
