Alpha Assault

Assault on Alpha Base
Doug Beason (1990)

At the home of America’s nuclear stockpile, over 5,000 warheads are protected by a high-tech security system deep in the salt flats of Nevada.

If Alpha Base is ever penetrated, no one on earth will be safe.

And it will be.

Told from both sides of an attack on the base, this feels like an episode in a second rate TV thriller series. There are all the clichés and tropes of the army and the terrorist group. Trouble is, the action parts aren’t that well written, often confusing and bland.

Then it all ends in a few pages. So not the best example of the genre.
