The Steve Wickham series by Joe Weber starts with DEFCON One (1989), his debut novel. Weber famously wrote it on legal pads during downtime as a commercial pilot. The book deals with a nuclear crisis between the U.S. and Soviet Union, and it became a bestseller.
Shadow Flight (1990) follows with a stolen stealth bomber, and Honorable Enemies (1994) turns to post-Cold War tensions between the U.S. and Japan. The three books track the shifting geopolitics of their era, from superpower standoffs to new kinds of international conflict.
