Product Description
After years of fending off challenges from the world's most dangerous terrorists, Op-Centre has been brought to heel by the US Congress. A short-sighted committee has cut Paul Hood's budget, and the first victim is his friend Mike Rodgers. But General Rodgers may not be looking for work for very long. Dynamic Senator Donald Orr is making a run for President at the head of his own third party. Running on a platform of extreme isolationism, Orr presents a real challenge to the two-party system, and he needs a strong military advisor to make his team complete. The problem is that Orr may be involved in more than just ordinary political intrigue. The bodies of two murdered millionaires may be tied into the new party, and Op-Centre is seeking the killer.

Customer Reviews
A good read, but nothing special.
Firstly, I almost stopped reading this book after I saw two grammatical errors in the first four pages. They're not particularly bad, they just stop you in your tracks while you work out what was trying to be said. In any case, these errors may have been fixed.
The story is well told, but the character development and faithfulness to the characters leave a lot to be desired.
I feel that the author never really gets to grips with some of the characters. Often when he attempts to create character choices based on moral criteria, the reader is left feeling confused about the true feelings of the character. This especially is true of Mike Rodgers.
I don't like the way that the other characters of op-centre remain mostly untouched.
Otherwise the story is ok. Nothing really special. Well told, pacing isn't quite right for some of the book, and some of the twists (especially those concerning characters) feel too improvised to have been planned and executed with any degree of realism.
Overall, not a bad read, but not really up to Op-Centre standard.
