"An ominous, nightmarish scenario about how World War III could happen. Chilling and credible, DEFCON One graphically portray's humanity's stake in the Gorbachev revolution. It's a must read, as immediate as this morning's headlines."--Stephen Coonts, New York Times best-selling author of Flight of the Intruder
"Joe Weber's mastery of a wide range of military technology puts the reader at the controls of both US F-15 fighters and Russian Bear bombers, on the bridge of a US nuclear submarine, and in the highest councils of Russian and American governments.
"DEFCON One should be thought-provoking to everyone interested in the global balance of power. Lessons to be learned from DEFCON One just may let us avoid nuclear holocaust for another forty years."--W.E.B. Griffin, best-selling author of The Corps and Brotherhood of War series
"DEFCON One is a humdinger! Joe Weber mixes up the fast-paced action for an exciting read!"--Payne Harrison, New York Times best-selling author
"His flying scenes especially are superb. It's a chilling vision. . . The best high-tech military thriller. . ."--Franklin Allen Leib, best-selling author of Fire Arrow
"DEFCON One is a skillfully constructed and exciting first novel. Vivid and frighteningly plausible. Crammed with high-tech action and nail-biting suspense. A brilliant novel!"--Herbert Crowder, best-selling author of Ambush At Osirak
From the acclaimed thriller writer, Joe Weber, comes a chilling novel of the Cold War.
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 USSR 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.

They have been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Spanish, Polish, Russian, and Italian for sales in foreign countries.
Mr. Weber holds a Master of Science Degree in Aviation Management. He is an Airline Transport Rated pilot with over 10,500 hours of flight time in forty-three different types of aircraft, ranging from aerobatic biplanes and high-performance military jets to four engine transports.

A carrier-qualified fighter/attack trained pilot, he graduated first in his class from advanced naval jet pilot training in Kingsville, Texas, in 1972.
