Five Novels by Joe Weber
Requirements: Mobi or ePub Reader | 3.9 MB
Overview: As a former fighter pilot, Joe Weber knows his subject well. His military thrillers are fast-paced, accurate in every detail, and as current as this morning's headlines. His novels have appeared on the bestseller lists of the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, the Associated Press, and the Chicago Tribune. They have been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Spanish, Polish, Russian, and Italian for sales in foreign countries.
Mr. Weber holds a Master of Science Degree in Aviation Management. He is an Airline Transport Rated pilot with over 10,500 hours of flight time in 43 different types of aircraft, ranging from aerobatic biplanes and high-performance military jets to four engine transports.
He served in the United States Marine Corps from 1970-1975. A carrier-qualified fighter/attack trained pilot, he graduated first in his class from advanced Naval jet pilot training in Kingsville, Texas, in 1972. After his release from active duty, he flew commercially until 1989 when his first novel was published.
A native of Enid, Oklahoma, he lives near Pensacola, Florida, with his wife Jeannie. Mr. Weber is currently working on his ninth novel.
Defcon One
"A blazing debut by one of America's new thriller stars." Tom Clancy
In this explosive bestseller, the U.S. and the Soviet Union are poised on the brink of Armageddon. Glasnost has failed. Russia is economically desperate. And Gorbachev's successor has launched the "first strike" in what may become WWIII. Only one man knows the full extent of the impending horror--a CIA operative trapped in the Kremlin.
Shadow Flight
"One of America's new thriller stars." Tom Clancy
Publisher's Weekly
In the near-future of Weber's second techno-thriller (after DEFCON One ), the KGB has hijacked a Stealth bomber and landed it in Cuba. The theft, a rogue operation, is ultimately denounced by the Soviet government, but Castro, enraged by efforts to recover the plane, declares war on the U.S. America's response is a full-scale strike against Cuba's key military installations, while the B-2 remains unaccounted for. Weber, at his best describing details of modern carrier operations, gives readers a firm sense of what it is like to fly against modern air defenses. He establishes credibility, unusual in this genre, by allowing equipment to malfunction regularly. The unsophisticated, two-dimensional characters are less convincing, however, and their insubstantiality is difficult to reconcile with the use of massive military force. The story implies that the eclipse of Russia has left the U.S. with a redundant military capacity desperately seeking outlets.
Rules of Engagement
The New York Times bestselling author of DEFCON One presents a "powerful novel of the rules of war--and a man who broke them" (W.E.B. Griffin). Avenging the deaths of two friends shot down by the Vietcong, Marine fighter pilot Brad Austin makes a successful--but forbidden--strike on an enemy aitfield. Now he must defend himself, his honor, and his Corps against a Senate committee out for blood.
Targets of Opportunity
After breaking the rules of engagement to destroy an enemy ace, Brad Austin is assigned to Da Nang Air Base in South Vietnam . . . but not for long. The CIA has captured a Soviet-built MiG-17, and Austin is recruited as test pilot. Once he masters the plane, he receives his true assignment: to take the MiG behind enemy lines.
Honorable Enemies
A tranquil day in Hawaii is shattered when a helicopter--disguised in civilian colors--opens fire on a ship, killing Japanese tourists. As terrorist attacks on Japanese and Americans continue, CIA operations officer Stephen Wickham and FBI agent Susan Nakamura are assigned to track down the perpetrators--before history can repeat a tragic confrontation neither can forget.
