Über das Internet wird eine neue, teure Designerdroge angeboten, die den Aggresssions- und Sexualtrieb so steigert, dass jeder Mensch zu einer Zeitbombe wird. Die Net Force muss so schnell wie möglich den Anbieter dieser gefährlichen Droge finden, bevor es zur Katastrophe kommt.

Geheimnisverrat: Wie in einem Versteckspiel belauern sich die Net-Force-Experten und die CIA. Jeder hat den anderen im Verdacht, geheime Daten in fremde Hände zu vermitteln. Todesduell: Aus einem Freizeitsport wird tödlicher Ernst und nur das Net-Force-Team kann eine Katastrophe verhindern.

Bypassing all safeguards, terrorists enter Fort Stephens and detonate a truck full of powerful explosives. Within hours, other bases are hit, and the Army calls in Net Force to help. But they are countered at every move by a cunning opponent who thinks just like their own.

In the year 2010, computers are the new superpowers. Those who control them control the world. To enforce the Net Laws, Congress creates the ultimate computer security agency within the FBP the Net Force. When web service is disrupted across the world, a new nation makes its presence known. Terrorists from a virtual country called CyberNation have taken the web hostage. Their demands: worldwide recognition and rights for their "citizens." Though there are millions of CyberNation sympathizers, Net Force rallies its troops for an all-out war on three fronts -- politically, physically, and electronically -- because dealing with terrorists is never an option...

The Striker team is sent in to capture an Islamic cleric who is stirring up a rebellion in the Indian government and gets caught up in a full-scale war.

The explosion of a Chinese freighter–carrying illegal workers–in Charleston Harbor is the first sign that someone is capping Chinese interests abroad. After explosions in South Africa and Taipei, Op-Center roots out the cause: warring factions in the Chinese government. But still reeling from budget cuts and an almost devastating attack by an electromagnetic pulse explosion, Op-Center itself sustains a third hit: the removal of Commander Paul Hood, replaced by a three-star general from the Army. Op-Center is now under the control of the Pentagon. Hood's own future exists at the whim of the new President. And the world braces for more attacks….

A top secret Pentagon wargame is hacked. Only Net Force has the expertise to track down the culprit, but they are tied up with other priorities. Due to shifting budget priorities, Net Force is moved onto the DoD budget. That means that as a military operation, they can now give top priority to the Pentagon's problem. They soon make a connection between the attack and a Chinese general in Macau. But this investigation is too big for Net Force and they are forced to work with members of Cybernation, the virtual reality nation which has opposed Net Force in the past.

Het Op-Center wordt ingeschakeld als blijkt dat kernafval dat in de Celebeszee had moet worden gedumpt, wordt doorverkocht aan terroristische groepen.

Drei neue Fälle für das Net-Force-Explorer-Team: §Andy Moore entdeckt hinter der Fassade eines Zirkus einen groß angelegten Schwarzmarkt für High-Tech-Waffen und illegale Software. §Matt Hunter untersucht den gewaltsamen Tod einer jungen Frau aus der so genannten »feinen« Gesellschaft. §Nachdem ihr Freund Burt verschwunden ist, macht sich Megan O`Malley auf die Suche nach ihm. Sie erfährt, dass er bei einem Kurierunternehmen beschäftigt ist, das dafür bekannt ist, dass seine Kuriere nach einem Auftrag meist nie mehr wieder auftauchen.§§

After years of fending off challenges from the world's most dangerous terrorists, Op-Centre has been brought to heel by the US Congress. A short-sighted committee has cut Paul Hood's budget, and the first victim is his friend Mike Rodgers. But General Rodgers may not be looking for work for very long. Dynamic Senator Donald Orr is making a run for President at the head of his own third party. Running on a platform of extreme isolationism, Orr presents a real challenge to the two-party system, and he needs a strong military advisor to make his team complete. The problem is that Orr may be involved in more than just ordinary political intrigue. The bodies of two murdered millionaires may be tied into the new party, and Op-Centre is seeking the killer.

The Ops-Center team faces untold chaos on a mission in Africa in the ninth novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series created by Tom Clancy and former Department of State official Steve Pieczenik. On the surface it seems a simple case: a group of African militiamen have kidnapped a priest and ordered all Catholic missionaries to leave the nation of Botswana. But the Vatican thinks otherwise. At its urging, Op-Center investigates—and finds out that the real purpose of the crime is a plan by outside forces to destabilize the government and seize the nation’s diamond mines. With its military team, Striker, out of commission, Op-Center must reinvent itself—and head straight into the crossfire of an African war.

The eighth novel in Tom Clancy's #1 New York Times bestselling Net Force series. Though the head of a major multinational corporation—and a key player in world affairs—Samuel Walker Cox has a past that few people know about. But that group is about to get bigger. A computer disk has fallen into the hands of the Net Force, outing the powerful American businessman as a former Russian spy. Cox is willing to see the world in ruins to protect his name. Lucky for the United States that Net Force is on the job—and is about to prove that no man is above the law.

In 2010, computers have become the new superpowers, with their controllers holding world dominance. The Net Force faces the ongoing challenge of identifying and thwarting power-hungry enemies.

Americký autor Steve Pieczenik zúročil své obsáhlé osobní zkušenosti z působení v mocenské centrále USA – na ministerstvu zahraničí – a přichází s mistrně autentickým románem o druhé občanské válce v Americe. Svou politickou fikci zkoncentroval do několika desítek hodin svátečního víkendu 4. července, kdy USA slaví Den nezávislosti. Guvernéři čtyř západních států – Utahu, Colorada, Wyomingu a Arizony vyhrožují vystoupením z Unie. Jejich zbraní při vyjednávání je ohromná přehrada Glen Canyon v Page v Arizoně: jestliže prezident nepřistoupí do dvaasedmdesáti hodin na jejich požadavky, zničí přehradu a životy tisíců lidí budou v nebezpečí. Žádají přistoupení ke všem ústavním právům a plnou vojenskou kontrolu vlastních hranic. S prezidentem a viceprezidentem v zahraničí padá bezprostřední odpovědnost na ministryni zahraničí Barbaru Reynoldsovou, černošskou diplomatku obdařenou důvtipem i inteligencí. Když se pak v Arizoně námořní pěchota postaví proti Národním gardám západních států, posílá Barbara Reynoldsová doktora Alisona Cartera, aby začal vyjednávat. Ale Carter se ocitá v síti klamu a zrady; navíc musí čelit nebezpečným otázkám, na něž není odpovědi. Kdo má opravdu separatistické hnutí pod kontrolou? A jsou to jeho spojenci nebo nepřátelé?
