A book from my wish list...received as a Birthday present.

After the disappointment of the previous book in the Op-Center series, I was fully prepared to be disappointed by this one as well. Fortunately, this book is a significant improvement on the previous book, as well as several before that. Op-Center has a new director and Paul Hood has moved to the White House as a special envoy to the President, and is immediately faced with a crisis brewing in China. This story is well paced, with a credible crisis and great character interaction. Like the other Op-Center books, this book will never be mistaken for great literature, but it is entertaining and manages to avoid most of the flaws that marred many of the earlier books.

Released for the 2023 Great Backyard Bird Count challenge, and for the 2023 TV Series challenge.
