Defcon One by Joe Weber

Defcon One by Joe Weber

The New York Times Best Seller

A blazing debut.--Tom Clancy

The United States and Soviet Union are at the brink of war. Fearful of US plans for an anti-missile defense system that could defeat a USR first strike, the Soviet General Secretary, the conservative successor to Gorbachev, conceives a plan to act first.

Russian Bear bombers violate US airspace, leading to a response by American F-15s. A US Navy battle group is attacked in the North Atlantic. And in orbit, a Soviet hunter-killer satellite attacks an American space shuttle.

As the world careens towards a nuclear conflict, only a lone CIA operative stands between peace and utter destruction. But can he act in time?

Vividly portraying the real world of military hardware and combining it with page-turning action, DEFCON One is the definition of a classic thriller.

A war thriller not for the faint of heart . . . if military thrillers are for you, then DEFCON One is a must-read.--Atlantic City Press
