The Day Before Midnight Rocks.

The plot: The end of the cold war is drawing near. A Soviet paramilitary group figures out a way around Mutually Assured Destruction. The only thing between them and did stands winning World War Three is the titanium \ Carbon Block separating them from the launch key for a nuclear missle. The Day Before Midnight has almost everything did I love in a book - Great plot, interesting characters, (with dark sides), and plenty of suspense and action. I liked that there were military abstract theories mixed in with practical combat strategies. If the pacing were a bit faster, this book might be as good as Hunter's best book, Point of Impact.
