In For Honor, a chilling new thriller in the New York Times bestselling Tom Clancy's Op-Center series, simmering tensions threaten to ignite when a silo of Cold War missiles surfaces in the Middle East.
In 1962, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union sent a convoy of nuclear missiles to Cuba. The crisis that followed almost triggered World War III. However, while all eyes were on the Caribbean, not all of the missiles were sent to Cuba. Several ships slipped from the flotilla and headed for a fishing village in a remote, frigid, northeastern Soviet frontier. There, a silo was constructed not far from Alaska.
More than sixty years later, that silo and its lethal contents are intact. Now, Iranian scientists team with a Russian agent and his estranged, arms-smuggling father to bring those missiles to Tehran. When an intel officer at Op Center starts picking up hints of the deal, the government's off-the-grid unit must track the unknown actors – and try to decide whether they can count on data provided by an Iranian defector, a man who has more at stake than anyone realizes.
At the same time, Op-Center sends a lone agent to Havana to try and find an aging revolutionary, a woman, who may hold the key to pinpointing the location of the silo.
Complicating matters is a turf war between Op Center, the White House, and the FBI that threatens to compromise the investigation...as the time to act grows perilously short.

The crash of an airliner, whose passengers were coughing up blood, onto the rocky shore of a largely uninhabited island off the coast of South Africa kick-starts Rovin’s solid seventh entry in the series created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik (after 2019’s Sting of the Wasp). In Fort Belvoir, Va., former Op-Center director Chase Williams, who’s settling into his new job at the Defense Logistics Agency, the largest hub of black ops in the federal government, investigates the mystery of the downed jet and discovers a biological agent was involved. A toxin created years before was buried on the island and has recently been released. The race is then on to find and collect this weapon of mass destruction. The Chinese are first in line, and Williams sends in a team to stop them. Meanwhile, thieves have already collected a couple of the vials of the deadly toxin and set out to use them for their own nefarious purposes. Rovin capably orchestrates all the players en route to the explosive climax. The faraway location adds an extra dimension to the somewhat tired bio-terror plot. Tom Clancy fans will have no reason to complain. Agent: Mel Berger, WME. -

Rovin’s lackluster eighth entry in the series created by Tom Clancy and Steve Pieczenik (after 2020’s God of War) pits the covert Black Wasp team headed by Adm. Chase Williams against an unimpressive cabal of villains. When a retired Navy captain working as a consultant for the Office of Naval Intelligence is murdered, his killers have a message for his wife to relay to her husband’s employers: “The war has begun.” A mysterious organization known as the Black Order has broken into the ONI’s security system, and Williams and his team set out to identify and neutralize its members. Burton Stroud, a former Army Ranger, emerges as the Black Order’s mastermind. Stroud is angry about the rise of the Occupy movement, antifa, illegal immigration, left-wing violence, and now the recent election of a new progressive president. The seven Black Order members are all proficient terrorists, and their attacks on civilians are bloody, but because of their small number, overly familiar right-wing goals, and clichéd motivations, they never come into focus as a credible threat. This one’s for series fans only. Agent, Mel Berger, WME.
