Armed with stolen U.N. weapons and ammo, they devise a shocking plan to gain the world's attention. Demanding one hundred million dollars in ransom, the assassins take over the U.N. - where ambassadors from ten nations have gathered for a gala function at which Hood's daughter is going to perform.

" Great, fast read. Gets going quicky "
— Craig, 10/9/2013" I really enjoyed this one. "
— Matt, 7/13/2012" Tom Clancy's Op-Center series are a very entertaining read with larger than life characters. "
— Greg, 7/8/2012" Simplistic plot, short underdeveloped characters and situations. "
— Clyn, 8/29/2011" Compliments: Very good action pack. Though it's kind of not possible that the terrorists can take over United Nation but that makes it exciting. It's kind scary for a kid to be hostage at United Nation. Paul, a op-center worker, had to rescue his daughter from the hostages. "
— Delan, 6/24/2011" I thought this was a very interesting book. I enjoy Tom Clancy's book. I started reading after my mom gave me one of his books and try to read all of them, but don't have a lot of time reading. "
— Monique, 6/5/2011" Interesting combination of characters all coming together. It is sad how ineffectual the UN comes off. "
— Ayelet, 5/14/2011" I read this so long ago. But now going through my books and getting rid of some! "
— Fittytiff, 2/4/2011" Horrible - bad writing, bad dialogue, gag-inducing Americana and glorification of violence. My first Tom Clancy book and most certainly my last! "
— Kenzie, 1/26/2011" Coffey is pulled from an international conference in Australia to help them find some missing radioactive materials. "
— Nana, 7/17/2010" 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. "
