Publisher Description
The Op-Center team heads for Spain, where ethnic conflicts threaten to break out into a conflagration. As the novel's intelligence chief Bob Herbert puts it, this clash "will make the Spanish Civil War look like a brawl." The intelligence team's efforts to defuse the crisis are foiled when an Op-Center representative is assassinated in Madrid on her way to a high-level diplomatic meeting. Someone very powerful wants another Spanish War - no matter what the cost. Now the crew must delicately navigate the treacherous shoals of a planned insurrection by a popular Spanish general and his troops. As usual, Clancy delivers a memorable cast of characters, and he welcomes us into the byways of little-traveled territory in this action-packed intrigue.

Tom Clancy's Op-Center #5: Balance of Power Listener Reviews
-
" 3 of 5 stars for the audio book Sea of Fire by Tom Clancy/Jeff Rovin. An interesting story but not quite as good as other books in the series. The abridged version is very choppy. Short book but barely worth the time. "
— Jim, 6/14/2009 -
" Mindless read but worth the finish if you start. "
— Garrett, 7/29/2008 -
" My introduction to opcentre, i like the fact that the various books aren't complexly interwoven. Although doesn't contain as much action as balance of power, but still is a good read. "
