About this ebook

For the first time, New York Times best-selling author Joe Weber's three Steve Wickham novels are together in one volume. DEFCON One The New York Times Best-Seller! "A blazing debut."--Tom Clancy The United States and Soviet Union are at the brink of war. Fearful of a US anti-missile defense system that could defeat a USSR first strike, the Soviet General Secretary conceives a plan to act first. 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 . . . Shadow Flight While Congress debates the merits of continued funding for the Stealth bomber, a B-2 bomber disappears a training exercise. Who pull off a theft of this magnitude? And what might its plans be for the highly sought-after aircraft? Getting the answers to these questions becomes the top-secret mission for CIA agent Steve Wickham. Can Wickham find the answers and the bomber before the president is forced to act? Or will the world as we know it ignite into a nuclear conflagration? Honorable Enemies "Takes Michael Crichton's Rising Sun a step further . . . brisk and exciting."--Publishers Weekly A beautfiul Hawaiian afternoon is shattered when a cruise ship filled with Japanese tourists comes under fire. Unbelievably, a civilian helicopter is strafing the ship with automatic weapons. In retaliation for the attack, a group of AmeriCan'tourists is ambushed in Osaka, and then Japanese-Americans become targets across the United States. To restore order and prevent a greater conflict, CIA agent Stephen Wickham and a Japanese-American FBI agent, Susan Nakamura, must find out who is responsible for the initial attack--and why.
