In Search Of: Post Nuke WW3 book.....

[makersmark]

I have a hazy memory of reading a book I enjoyed, probably in '92 or '93. It came from the library, so I cant narrow down the print date further.

The book is about how the USSR launches a nucular strike on America, and it follows an elite group of American soldiers who attempt to drive the Russians back. They wear a sort of robotic body armor suit, which has limited flight capabilities, and a wide variety of weapons.

Thats pretty much all I remember about the book. Im pretty sure the title was a 4-letter acronym. I thought it was C.A.D.S. but I cannot find it, so I'm gussing I remember incorrectly.

Thanks

You are looking for one of the C.A.D.S. series by Ryder Syvertsen (writing as John Sievert) or David Alexander.

"They're called C.A.D.S.- Computerized Attack/Defense System.The next generation of America's high-tech soldier. Seven foot tall battle armor suits that are equipped with flame-throwers, armor piercing shells, machine guns and much more.all operated by voice command. However no one dreamed that they would become America's last line of defense. The unthinkable has happened. The Soviet Union's nuclear first strike has left America crippled, tens of millions dead, and it's armed forces decimated. Now the Soviets begin their sweep across the American landscape to achieve complete victory. Only one thing stands in their way.Colonel Dean Sturgis and his C.A.D.S. unit. Now, untested in battle, the C.A.D.S. must race against time to rescue the President from his White House bunker before the Soviet's can capture him and demand the surrender of the United States."
