The countdown begins when welder Jack Hummel is abducted from his suburban Maryland home and whisked to the South Montain 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 devastating brilliant plot that threatens global disaster.
Now a Delta Force veteran and a think-tank defense wizard must get inside South Montain - 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.

The day before midnight

Livro de espionagem e aventura.
Muita ação e suspense. Mesmo os personagens coadjuvantes são atrativos e acabamos na torcida o tempo todo.
A idéia de uma possível guerra nuclear entre os EUA e Rússia gera uma tensão ainda maior.
O início do livro é lento até um final super acelerado e tenso.
Muito bom.
