This is not the sort of Stephen Hunter story that I have grown accustomed to. My first introduction to the author was through his persistent main character, Bob Lee Swagger of Marine sniper fame. (Viet Nam)
This story is very early Stephen Hunter from the years of the very real possibility of world wide nuclear destruction initiated by the USA and the USSR. The first three-quarters of the book was a very detailed buildup for the last quarter, which was a cascade of cliff-hangers. Although not as polished as his later works, it is none the less entertaining because of it's (mostly) technical accuracy.
All in all, a very entertaining and satisfying read.
