What to expect
DEFCON: Defense Readiness Condition
DEFCON Five: normal peacetime activitiesDEFCON Four: increase intelligence watch and increase securityDEFCON Three: forces on standby, awaiting further ordersDEFCON Two: forces ready for combatDEFCON One: forces deployed for combat
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.
Critics Review
-
“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.”
Tallahassee Democrat/Sun
-
“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.”
Atlantic City Press
-
“[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.”
Publishers Weekly
