Tight, attractive first edition of this war novel co-authored by Larry Bond concerning a 1980s World War Three. Basis for the 1992 film, this copy bears on front flyleaf fine autograph additions from three of that film's stars: At top is MICHAEL BIEHN (born 1956), who portrays 1st Lieutenant Michael D. Edwards -- he boldly signs a 3" X 3" green slip in blue ballpoint, dating it 20 January 1989 at upper right. At center is WILLIAM FITCHNER (born 1956), who portrays Sergeant James Smith -- he signs a heavy stock 5" X 3" card in black fineline and notes "Valentine's Day" (14 February 1993) at upper right. At bottom is ALAN RUCK (born 1956), who portrays Commander Daniel X. McCafferty -- he signs a heavy stock 5" X 3" card in black fineline and dates it 1 May 1987 at upper right. A sharp first with a superb trio of the film version cast member signatures -- plus the original transmittal envelopes from all three are laid in.
