Into the Fire by George Galdorisi, Dick Couch
3.0
A good book. The second in the 'reboot' of the Op-Center series, and I have to admit I'm still struggling to remember who's who and what the Op-centre structure is. Too many names of Op-Center personel are strewn about without much added value.
The story is good though the second 'event' feels a bit bolted on. I know it is not since the first stage of the book deals with the required bits and pieces on the Op-center side but the North Korea 'response' angle is introduced quite late, eventhough it was being prepped by NK for longer. It could have added more drama if it was woven into the story better.
The many North Korea storyline is very good, especially the events in the yellow sea. However if these events had been fleshed out possibly with a few more Navy elements this could have been a great novel without ever mentioning Op-Center, and having Commander Kate Bigelow as the main character. So three stars not four, though it is probably good enough for 3.5 if that were possible.
