Operation Crystal Ball - Part Five
by Greg Rucka, Leandro Fernandez, John Dranski
The terrorists in Japan prepare to strike their intended target. Wallace works with Sanya Miloska in Sarajevo to find Rashed El Haje. Chace works with Colin Hodgson in Cairo to learn something about what Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ) has planned.
Chace and Wallace learn enough to figure out that the terrorists' intended target is at the Men’s World Cup in Japan. Japanese special forces finds the terrorists and the canisters of sarin gas before the terrorists are able to pipe it into the locker room where the English team is preparing for their match against the Nigerian team.
I like how Hodgson got to redeem himself in this chapter. Chace got to be a hero and he got to be a team player.
This is a good story. There is some action but it isn't action heavy. It is mostly grunt work and talking about how to proceed. I can see how that might not appeal to everyone but I enjoyed it very much.
