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.

Nonstop action. Good character development and great creative thinking. Since this version is unabridged , a lot of unnecessary, in-depth info was included along with way too much cussed words. Outside of that, I highly recommend this novel.

Wow

After reading the reviews on this book, I almost past on it. But I am so glad I gave it a try. While it is true the beginning is a little dry, but I feel that is the Arthur trying to explain all the terms that the military use that most of us have never heard or use. And i I for one am glad he did. But from the moment he got in to the actual story line I was hooked really fast.

The story is fast moves very fast and goes into a great deal of depth. I think that is why I liked it so much, I was never left hanging or wondering what is going on. Joe Weber is going on my preferred ‘Arthur list. I will be trying all of his books and look forward to seeing what else he has in store for me.

Well written, great story line and very believable

Enjoyable. I'm a trucker, and this really made the time go by quickly. I especially enjoyed the narration.

Overall, pretty good.

I see a lot of complaints about the narrator’s voice, I really didn’t mind. The book was entertaining, and thanks to Audible for free book!

Really enjoyed

It takes a while to get used to the narrator and the story. But in the end, this is a must read if you want insight into human behavior and the tenuous nature of our existence. It takes one person to change humanity. Even though this book was written in 1989 the message is relevant, and the action will keep you listening. It can make you think if you let it.

You have to look deeper at this one...

Growing up during the Cold War made this a chilling reminder of those days. Story kept me on the edge of my seat. If you were born after 1980 you won’t get it.

Chilling

Just finished listening to this book. Would have given it 10 stars, but the stars don't go up that far.
I was on the edge of my seat! The writer was excellent, he knows his stuff.
The performance was outstanding! Keith Szarabajka really held your attention throughout the book with his different voices. He made you forget that you were listening to a book, instead you felt he was next to you conversing and telling you what happened. The story pulled you in and never let go. I found myself shouting "Don't do it! Don't do" and yelling other comments throughout the book. I was practically in tears and praying it would not be so.
You HAVE GOT TO hear this book! You will not be disappointed. This book gives you plenty of food for thought & rightly frightens you at the thought of DEFCON One.

Better than a movie.

This was the most realistic story I’ve ever heard. I was tense and completely drawn in to the action.

Edge of my seat.....
