In this explosive bestseller, the United States and the Soviet Union are poised on the brink of Armageddon. Glasnost has failed, Russia is economically desperate, and Gorbachev's successor has launched the first strike in what may become World War III. Only one man knows the full extent of the impending horror—a CIA operative trapped in the Kremlin.
Written by a former Marine Corps pilot, DEFCON One is a blistering scenario of men and war—exciting, tense, and frighteningly real.
Joe Weber served in the United States Marine Corps and has an MS in aviation management. A carrier-qualified fighter/attack pilot who graduated from advanced naval jet pilot training, he holds an Airline Transport Pilot rating and has over 10,500 hours of flight time in 43 different types of aircraft, ranging from aerobatic biplanes to four engine transports. After his release from active duty, Mr. Weber flew commercially until the publication of his first novel. He lives near Pensacola, Florida, with his wife and their dogs.
Keith Szarabajka has appeared in many films, including The Dark Knight, Missing, and A Perfect World, and on such television shows as The Equalizer, Angel, Cold Case, Golden Years, and Profit. Szarabajka has also appeared in several episodes of Selected Shorts for National Public Radio. He won the 2001 Audie Award for Unabridged Fiction for his reading of Tom Robbins’s Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates and has won several Earphones Awards.
Reviews
“For military buffs, DEFCON'’s the one…A taut narrative that should please and entertain those military buffs who like their action seasoned with high-level espionage.”
“A war thriller not for the faint of heart. The pace of DEFCON One is faster than a heat-seeking missile…If military thrillers are for you, the DEFCON One is a must-read.”
“[A] gripping techno-thriller…Weber, a former Marine fighter pilot, handles the military aspects of the developing confrontation convincingly, concentrating on air and naval operations…Frighteningly credible.”
“Weber’s forte is his ability to tell a fast-paced war story filled with accurate details of the latest weapons systems.”
