...instructor at the Air Force's Air War College. An infowar arms race could be one the U.S. would lose because it is already so vulnerable to such attacks. Indeed, the cyber enhancements that the military is banking on for its conventional forces may be chinks in America's armor...

There are well-staged, smartly edited bursts of action at the approved modern intervals (every 10 minutes or so), the scenery is always pretty, and aside from Ben Cross's villain (imagine Pat Buchanan in not-so-shining armor), everyone is terribly nice, terribly agreeable. They are pleasant, altogether reasonable companions on this curiously jaunty ride into anachronism...
