Negative Positive
Title: The concept? Great. The book? Bleh.
Review: Like I said, the plot in its simplest form was a good idea, but it was implemented pretty poorly. Armageddon at Defcon 1 may be an OK read for people who don't demand thoughtful and refined writing. This novel would have been more interesting had it been written by Tom Clancy. Armageddon at Defcon 1 would have made a good movie, or an even better comic book.
