DESCRIPTION:
Before 9/11 America was protected by a covert force known as the National Crisis Management Center. Only the men and women of Op-Center, using sophisticated technology, realize what is about to be unleashed. A renegade Saudi Prince with ambitions of controlling the world's oil supply has an ingenious plot to manipulate America into attacking Syria and launching a war against Iran. Next, they would ignite a sleeper cell to attack the American homeland, resulting in a bloodbath unlike any other. Commonly known as Op-Center, this silent, secret mantel guarded the American people and protected the country from enemies. Op-Center used undercover operatives with SWAT capabilities to diffuse crises around the world, and they were tops in their field. But after the World Trade Center disaster, in the interest of streamlining, OP-Center was disbandedleaving

"Decent, then great" according to James Orr. Out of the Ashes starts out decently. You know, engaging, entertaining, but nothing to go out and recommend. Things really get going in the latter half, and by that time it's impossible to put down.Couch did a great job crafting this fiction. It was a little jerky at times, and I wish the first and second story lines were more interconnected. I have a few questions I wish he answered, but right now, the morning after, I'm really wishing I could download a sequel.

Now, almost 10 years later, St. Martin’s has resurrected Op-Center with this offering from coauthors Couch and Galdorisi. He realizes the time has come to reestablish the Op-Center, a group known for its unmatched SWAT, computer, and infiltration skills. Once the team is up and running, the operation to strike back at
