Story
One Hawaiian afternoon, a cruise ship filled with Japanese tourists comes under fire. Unbelievably, a civilian helicopter is strafing the ship with automatic weapons. The shock waves from the tragic attack reach all the way to Washington and Tokyo. In retaliation for the attack, a group of American tourists is ambushed in Osaka, and then Japanese-Americans become targets across the United States. Relations between the US and Japan rapidly deteriorate. The only way to restore order and prevent a greater conflict is to find out who is responsible for the initial attack - and why.

Story
Marine pilot Brad Austin and his carrier-based F-4 Phantom group fly into the heart of enemy territory daily without fear, but the rules of engagement hinder them nearly as much as the North Vietnamese. Restricted from attacking the enemy's MiG bases, Austin and the other American pilots are vulnerable to attack without the ability to retaliate, a weakness that tragically leads to the death of Austin's wingman. Consumed by the need to avenge his comrade, Austin goes one-on-one with the enemy in a battle that ultimately proves in war there can be no rules.

Story
The United States is under attack. From the sea and the sky, the devastating attacks come, crippling the US military's ability to respond. Thousands have been killed and injured. For President Cord Macklin, this is the greatest challenge of his life, greater than risking his life in the skies over Vietnam and greater than guiding the country through some of the most trying times. But none has been more trying than this. Below the sea, a predator stalks the pride of America's Navy: its aircraft carriers. Deadly and silent, this killer seems able to elude all efforts to find it.

When search efforts produce no evidence that the bomber crashed, the US Air Force has no choice but to acknowledge that one of its most secret and high-tech aircraft has been hijacked.
Recovery of the B-2 and its crew becomes the president's highest priority, and the Kremlin claims no knowledge of the missing aircraft. Finally, intelligence leads to what at first seems a very unlikely suspect: Cuba.

Publisher's Summary
"Primary Target is a chilling scenario of global warfare. The suspense never stops."—W.E.B. Griffin
“Weber weaves a frighteningly real story of international terrorism in America in his newest thriller.”—Publishers Weekly
As the once-powerful Soviet Union descends into social and economic collapse, a group of hard-line communists has devised a strategy to return their country to its former glory. In league with the most ruthless militant extremists of the Middle East, they hatch a plot to eliminate the one person with the power to stop them: the President of the United States.
This time, America isn’t declaring a war against terrorism. The terrorists are declaring war on America....
“Weber colors his novel with numerous subplots, well-developed characters and historical references to Operation Desert Storm and the Iranian hostage crisis. His knowledge of weapons, military aircraft and terrorist tactics is superior, and a surprise ending teases readers with the tempting possibility....”—Publishers Weekly
“Some writers get better with age: Weber is among them.”—Library Journal

As a former 23 Red Devil and VMFA Skyhawk maintainer I loved the USMC involvement, although somehow wanting the A-4 to be shot or destroyed. Nice story with the dbl twist of apparent bad guy, good guy, really bad guy was dIfferent. Heroes are great.

Primary Target Review
Good story with accurate aviation detail... only downside was the female voice over- sounded too naive school-girl. I’m sure doing a female voice is hard for a male, so perhaps have a female read the part, or refine the voice. That was the only distraction, otherwise entertaining.

All you need to know about flying aircraft
This was OK, enjoyable enough. There is definitely a freshman quality to the story. It was more simple, less nuanced than others in this genre, but I still think it worthy of the listen. There was a lack of character build and some of the action just seemed to develop too quickly when more explanation may have been needed to flesh out the story.
As for explanations though, this guy loves his flying machines and will tell you all about it in through this story. Sometimes I felt more like this was a glorified narration of a video game.
One thing that was actually refreshing is that there was palpable damage on both sides of the conflict. In war, people die and he did not make one side (usually the heroic US) come out unscathed.
The reader is not my favorite, but again, he may work his way up to the level of Dick Hill or Scott Brick.
For the author and the narration, you have to start somewhere.

Aviation
So, I recently had the good fortune to gain some rudimentary lessons in aviation and to visit an air traffic control tower. That experience greatly enhances my reading experience with this novel. I read a lot of spy thrillers, but this one has got to be the most hazardous ever! No one gets a break. People die en masse all over the place. It’s so unlikely! Yet, despite the credibility issue and the highly technical stuff, the book is so compelling! Of course, it’s a race to see if the heroes will get their man and the good ole’ USA will win the fight! But what a fight!
Page turner for sure.
