The world is poised on the brink of nuclear war. Any small incident could set off a disaster.

U.S. President Ryan "Mac" MacDuff consistently states to the public that "there are no nuclear missiles pointed at our people"; that reducing the nuclear threat is one of his highest priorities. Actually, he has been informed by the CIA that China and Russia have tested warheads within the range of the U.S.

General Chet "Bulldog" Fuller, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, admonishes MacDuff to grant more assistance to Taiwan, to stop the security leaks, and to deploy a missile defense system. MacDuff refuses, stating there is no danger and that we must continue our mutual trade policy.

There is a virus in the missile control units supplied to Russia, China and some Middle East nations which could set off the missles at any time. The virus is caused by MacDuff's silent partner, Bill Redding, who hopes to profit from the sale of replacement units.

When China accidentally launches a missile at the U.S., MacDuff swiftly retaliates with an attack on Chinese bases. All out war hangs in the balance.

There is enough excitement and suspense to satisfy even the most demanding reader: political intrigue and scandals, espionage, blackmail, double dealing politicians, assassinations, industrial espionage and sexual misbehavior.

The characters are well-developed. The story is well-constructed and moves along at a fast pace, ending with a few surprises.

The author, Lou Gallio, exposes the haunting fiction of nuclear security and inhumane violence. Critics have made the following comments: "OMEGA-ALPHA" raises the evil crime of terrorism to the level of world politics. Both thriller and enigmatic, it takes the reader on a dazzling journey from China to Syria, from Dallas to the murky nether world of Iran...terrifying in its implications.

The U.S. is too complacent, in a false sense of security. But we have more than the terrorists to worry about. The balance of power and world economies can easily spark a nuclear war.

U.S. President Ryan "Mac" MacDuff is more focused on the global economy, and less on a missile defense system. He's involved with Bill Redding, a computer magnate, in the sales of super computer technologies particularly to China. The CIA reports that along with the Middle East crisis, China and Russia present a threat of nuclear attack.

MacDuff ignores the advice of Marine General Chet "Bulldog" Fuller, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to deploy a worldwide defense system. Fuller uses his sources in Beijing to spy on China's nuclear missile programs.

A virus infects missile control units supplied to Russia, China and Middle East nations; it was intentionally implanted in CPU units by MacDuff's partner, Bill Redding, a computer magnate who's plan was sell replacement units for a windfall profit.

The virus accidentally launches missile from China, and the U.S. is the target. A nuclear war hangs in the balance.

The story is an eye-opener, frightening, fast-paced with ample antagonists and richly developed protagonists-a captivating, thrilling read.

"OMEGA-ALPHA" is a shocking story that goes beyond terrorism. It's a chilling reminder of the nuclear threat to world peace. And the nefarious effects of cyber war and political corruption play a disastrous role. The story is factual, and it takes you from Washington, D.C. to China, to Norway and around the U.S. on a dazzling trip filled with espionage, sexual escapades, assassinations and exciting danger.

What lies ahead? This book was a spine-chilling account of what can go on within the White House and our trading partners overseas. Fictional and factional. I liked the pace, the adventure and the suspense throughout. The high-tech segments added an extra ingredient--cyberwar--how the Internet can be used against us. Now, I'm definitely for a nuclear defense system. I really enjoyed it!
