Hunter ( The Spanish Gambit ) has written a smoothly
believable race-against-time thriller with frightening
plausibility. Unidentified military terrorists kidnap
welder Jack Hummel from his Maryland home and direct
him to cut through a block of titanium to reach a
launch key in the South Mountain MX missile site. The
president decides to send in the crack Delta assault
team, but the man best suited to command them is Col.
Dick Puller, who was discredited and disgraced in Iran
in 1979. Puller, in turn, must work with the only man
who knows the missile silo, its designer, Prof. Peter
Thiokol. The leader of "Aggressor-One" is discovered
to be Russian Military Intelligence chief Arkady
Pashin: he is charismatic, reactionary and
messianically determined to launch the single MX that
will trigger a massive Soviet reply. Used.read twice.
