41) Tom Clancy's Op-Center Out of the Ashes by Dick Couch and George Galdorisi

Good novel. Not great. The authors have the characters from Clancy's novels but the characterization when compared to Tom Clancy is weak. The story had much less detail than Tom Clancy's. And in the last few pages the authors throw in a ricin bomb that looks like a lead-in to another novel. I really dislike when authors do this. Each novel should be a complete story and should not leave you hanging. Compared to Tom Clancy's novels, this was not a strong novel. Compared to other novels of this type, it was OK.
