"Day Before Midnight" is a good, fsst-paced military/techno/nuclear/end-of-the-world thriller with lots of action and good character development.
It is a pretty straight forward plot with a few small suprises. The combat action is sometimes a little unrealistic and, as is the case with most books of this genre, luck plays a large part in the good guys winning.
Jack is a normal man caught up in abnormal circumstances simply because he is handy. Concern for his family forces him to make hard decisions and he does what he thinks he has to do. In the end he makes the hardest decision and saves the world from madmen attempting to start world war three.
Although a bit dated and jaded now, "Day before Midnight" is still a decdent read if you have nothing to do for a few hours.
