The Day Before Midnight: A Novel (Abridged)
“A breathtaking, fascinating look at what could happen-given the possibility of an atomic `given.' A wrap-up you'll never forget.”-Robert Ludlum
The countdown begins when welder Jack Hummel is abducted from his suburban Maryland home ans whisked to the South Mountain MX missile site-a top-secret nuclear complex now taken over by paramilitary terrorists.
All that stands between the Uzi-armed commandos and the launch button is a half-ton titanium block. They want Jack Hummel to cut through it-so they can unleash a devastatingly brilliant plot that threatens global disaster.
Now a Delta Force veteran and a think-tank defense wizard must get inside South Mountain-by defeating their own super-security systems and a darkly ingenious enemy leader . . .*
. . . while Jack Hummel's torch burns closer and closer to the launch key . . . while the clock ticks closer to midnight-and Armageddon.
Praise for The Day Before Midnight
