Nuclear nonproliferation specialist Jim Deutsch fights a desperate battle against terrorists in possession of the ultimate weapon. Pitted both against the terrorists and a system too complex and unwieldy to react swiftly enough, Jim's time runs out. And then the President of the United States is faced with a truly horrific problem: the threat of losing a nuclear war to an enemy who is known only by his apocalyptic demands."A heart-pounding descent into dread." -- Richard Christian Matheson.
"Read Midnight and confront the unspoken terrors that world leaders, intelligence agents, and military planners must deal with on a daily basis. And then try to go back to sleep!" -- Peter Levenda
"Whitley Strieber's CRITICAL MASS is one hell of a book--a frighteningly plausible conspiracy-thriller."-- Douglas Preston
