What happens once that signal flashes is described vividly in this tensely dramatic novel. The command came to the men of the 843rd Wing, high in the air near the Russian border. Asking no questions, obeying their standing orders, they headed straight towards their assigned targets. Had America already been attacked?Or was it the action of a single determined general, and unauthorized by the pentagon and the president? RED ALERT is the story of the two tensest hours in human history.
