Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A deadly new weapon hits the international arms market---and the only way to preserve the balance of power in the Mideast is to hijack the Iranian sub that carries it.
United States Navy Commander and Medal of Honor winner Dan Lenson has been handed another outside-the-box assignment. TAG Charlie, an elite team of active-duty sailors, SEALs, and civilian analysts, is tasked to investigate and defuse emerging naval threats around the globe. When the Skhval-K---an unstoppable rocket torpedo designed to destroy U.S. aircraft carriers---is demonstrated at a Moscow arms show, Dan tries to buy one so that the U.S. Navy can build countermeasures. But he’s lucky to escape with his life when he’s set up by Russia’s new counterespionage service.
When the Russians sell the new weapon to Iran and China instead, Dan decides that if he can’t buy it, he’ll steal it. But when a daring nighttime penetration of Iran’s largest naval base goes wrong too, Dan finds himself captaining a submarine he barely knows how to submerge, pursued by Iranian destroyers and sub-hunting aircraft through the shallow, hazardous Persian Gulf.
Authentic action and daring espionage combine in a timely thriller set in a hair-trigger military environment.

The Author manages to work three adventures into one tale, and they're all good. The hero's alcoholism and family issues are submerged to a more palatable level in this novel. Likewise Dan's antagonists within the Navy and the Government are more realistic, not so over the top as in the earlier works. As usual, Poyer's portrayal of technical details and realistic depictions of both special ops and war at sea are wonderful. I will continue to buy and read this series which gets better and better.

This is the latest book in the Dan Lenson series. You don't need to start with the very first book to figure out what is going on. They are all good books and if you get a chance you should read them. This one finds Lenson and his team trying to get thier hands on a new weapon. The search takes them around the world. This book is well worth your money.
