Utterly thrilling May 2, 2008
This is one of the very best thrillers I have ever read. The action is non-stop and the tension is relentless. It's an absolute masterclass of plotting and characterisation - even after all these years I can remember particular scenes because they have been rendered so utterly convincingly. This book starts with a bang and keeps on delivering right up to the nerve-shredding ending. There are no slow parts, no bits that you will skim, you will be glued to every single word. Believe the hype - this is one action-packed thriller that you won't want to put down and will read again and again.

one of the best ever July 24, 2007

It is funny but this book and another one with a similar title (Allan Folsom's "Day after tomorrow") remain for me among the 5 best thrillers I have ever read (and I think I have read hundreds of not thousands between Ludlum, Forsyth, Follett, Connelly etc ...). Even many years after reading it, I still remember this story of a bunch of terrorists attacking a nuclear missile silo. Vividly told, great characters, action, twists and turns (this black guy who can't read is a find !). Really this book is perfect.

The Real Thing November 2, 2002
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

This is probably the definitive action-thriller. By limiting himself chiefly to one location over the space of one day, Hunter sets himself a challenge he more than matches. Relentlessly action-packed, with enough military know-how and hardware to fight a medium sized war, this is classic Hunter and dwarfs all other comers in the action field. Besides the blistering pace and thrills, Hunter also manages to cram in a psychological depth and humanity often lacking in the genre. Classic thriller writing you can re-read again and again. Not to be missed, and never to be forgotten.

The horror, the horror October 30, 2002

A masterclass in thriller writing from beginning to end. Alongside Hunter's POINT OF IMPACT, probably the most perfect action thriller ever written. With most of the action centred on a single location on a single day, Hunter sets himself a challenge he more than meets. With more action than a hundred lesser thrillers, flawless plotting and brilliant characterisation, this is a breathless read to return to again and again.

apocalypse now! July 12, 2002

What a book this is, i've read a few book by this author but for sheer thrills this one tops the lot, in fact i would say it would give any one of Matthew Reilly's books a run for its money. What we have is a group of disaffected russians, traitors, viet-cong, tunnels rats, special forces, nuclear weapons and scientist all having a date with destiny atop a mountain in the middle of America. This book speeds by like a run-away loco and the tension builds right to the end, it would be a crime if the publisher did not do a 2nd print run so more people can be blown away by this cracking thriller.
