In this explosive best seller, 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.

First of all, I have to agree with some of the other reviewers. The first part of the audio book leaves somewhat to be desired; it is read too fast ( a little bit like reading a shopping list, to my mind) and the narrator's breathing is a little heavy.
BUT, stick with it! This settles down.
The book develops into a rattling good yarn in the style of Tom Clancy et al. There are some excellent combat descriptions along with suspenseful depictions of espionage and decision-making at a high level.
The original book is quite old, so the reader ( listener!!) will need to bear that in mind.
All in all, a great story.

This is a fast paced cold war geo-political thriller that has the 2 superpowers USA and USSR standing off against each other as belligerent and hard line new Soviet General Secretary sets out plans to launch a pre-emptive strike against the US. It is a somewhat strange plan as it begins by antagonising the US almost to the brink of war, then pulling back and planning on striking when the US relaxed it's defensive posture.
A deep cover agent in the Kremlin has news of the plot, and there is a plan in place to return him to the US with the news, but he and his CIA handler are discovered and what should have been a simple extraction turns into a fight for live across the frozen wastes of Russia. Add into this naval and air battles and it all makes up a really exciting read. The action scenes are tense, well written (up there with the best of Clancy and Bond). I found the characters solid and believable and I thought the discussions in White House situation room about possible US response not only believable but with the emotions felt by the participants made it feel like the reader was in the room an unseen witness the soul searching discussions.
The narrator was excellent with good inflection and pace to keep the story moving at the right pace but with real emotion.

Excellent Geo-political thriller
