From Library Journal
When Saber, a Soviet stealth bomber equipped with a diabolically intelligent computer, crashes on a test flight, the countdown to nuclear catastrophe begins. From deep on the ocean floor, its malign influence causes natural disasters. Marine biologist Cas Bonner and his gorgeous girlfriend Kiri (who may not be what she appears to be) are drawn into the desperate search. Soon there are air and sea battles, political infighting, and a heady array of the latest technological superstars, from super-colliders to Star Wars. So quickly in fact does the plot spin that the reader doesn't discover until the end that the characters are paper dolls. This is hardly a defect, however, since the hardware is the star. The climactic showdown is cosmically preposterous. An enjoyable treat for James Bond/Ian Fleming fans.
