All that stands between the prospective combatants is a small group of plucky Americans aided by the technological might of the American armory. The book has the technological edge of the U.S. military allowing the crew of a small naval vessel to avoid becoming POW's of the North Koreans, to be used as bargaining chips by the Hermit Kingdom to bolster its claims to a disputed area of sea floor which happens to be rich in natural gas which is desperately needed by the Chinese to fuel their economy. While the book follows the familliar Clancy formula, it doesn't let that formula get in the way of a good techno-thriller. The plot is highly believable, particularly given the actual state of relations between the 2 Koreas and their principal allies over this very issue, the right to claim resource rich areas of the sea floor. The book also has the patented Clancy ability to introduce technical information about the tools available to the respective adversaries in a way that merges with the plot and doesn't leave the reader bored or confused. Obviously, the Op-Center books are intended to be a series, and the authors are still introducing some of the key players for anticipated larger roles in the future. As long as they don't tinker too much with the successful Clancy formula, I expect the follo-ups to be entertaining reading, just like Into the Fire. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ North Korea vs The United States Navy -- True to today's world conditions *by W***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015* I was a bit torn about my review for this new book in the Op-Center series. I loved the series and wanted this to put a fresh new look on the series and bring back a well tested set of books.SO, let's start with this, I started reading and quite frankly couldn't put it down. When I read my first Tom Clancy book I had that experience, I started reading and couldn't stop. That happened here as well. It's Dick Couch who is writing, but he caught my attention and interest and I kept reading and reading and reading until I was done. Now I want some more.NOW, why it was not what I expected. It didn't seem to me that the OP-Center was the main character of the novel. Yes, they are still the best set of intelligence gathering people and they have some good technical and military people involved, BUT, the story revolved more around Captain Kate Bigelow and the USS Milwaukee. This Naval Vessel is not a war time fighting vessel, it is a mine sweeper that carries little to no defensive weapons. But as the Milwaukee joins with the Defender (another U.S. minesweeper) and a South Korean flotilla they are approached by North Korean Naval Vessels that are wanting to capture and take prisoner all the naval personnel on the Milwaukee just like the USS Pueblo from the last century.But Captain Kate Bigelow is a great leader and she takes her no weapon vessel and uses it as a way to hold off the two Korean Vessels and allowing the flotilla to escape. But she will loose her ship and some of her crew and come close to having everyone captured.OP-Center is the group that analyzes the situation and provides the U.S. President with a way to intervene and get the crew back. But this could lead to all out war.The book is compelling with today's political and military situations with North Korea. They are a menace to the world and need to be contained and in a sense reprimanded much as a stubborn child should be.Dick Couch gets the situation right and does a great job of bringing the situation to a climax that you will find impressive and well written.I'm happy with this new edition to OP-Center, but must say that it is not like our old OP-Center but still worth the read.I'll look forward to Dick Couch's next book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very entertaining; perhaps more detail than some people want *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2021* I liked the book, perhaps for the very reason that some won't: the authors demonstrate a solid knowledge about the U.S. military and include details that may go over the heads of some readers. For me, the details kept me entertained, and there was plenty of action to move the story along. It was really nice to have a strong female leader. I'm glad I bought the book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/16261410-tom-clancys-op-center-into-the-fire-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/16261410-tom-clancys-op-center-into-the-fire-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
