About the Author
JOE WEBER is a former fighter pilot who knows his subject well. His military thrillers are fast-paced, accurate, and as current as this morning's headlines. He is the author of: Defcon One, Shadow Flight, Rules of Engagement, Targets of Opportunity, Honorable Enemies, Primary Target. His novels have appeared on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, the Associated Press, and the Chicago Tribune and have been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Spanish, Polish, Russian, and Italian. Mr. Weber holds a master of science degree in aviation management and is an Airline Transport rated pilot with over 10,500 hours of flight time in 43 different types of aircraft, ranging from aerobatic biplanes and high-performance military jets to four engine transports. He served in the United States Marine Corps from 1970-1975. A native of Enid, Oklahoma, he lives near Pensacola, Florida, with his wife.
From Publishers Weekly
In the near-future of Weber's second techno-thriller (after DEFCON One ), the KGB has hijacked a Stealth bomber and landed it in Cuba. The theft, a rogue operation, is ultimately denounced by the Soviet government, but Castro, enraged by efforts to recover the plane, declares war on the U.S. America's response is a full-scale strike against Cuba's key military installations, while the B-2 remains unaccounted for. Weber, at his best describing details of modern carrier operations, gives readers a firm sense of what it is like to fly against modern air defenses. He establishes credibility, unusual in this genre, by allowing equipment to malfunction regularly. The unsophisticated, two-dimensional characters are less convincing, however, and their insubstantiality is difficult to reconcile with the use of massive military force. The story implies that the eclipse of Russia has left the U.S. with a redundant military capacity desperately seeking outlets.
