David Poyer Tomahawk Booklist: "In the mid-1980s, Poyer's continuing protagonist, navy officer Dan Lenson, is a lieutenant commander holding a vital Pentagon position in the trouble-plagued development of the Tomahawk cruise missile. Long divorced, he is in love with Kerry Donovan, a peace activist who awakens in him new doubts about the navy's mission. When Kerry is murdered in connection with Chinese espionage involving the Tomahawk program, Lenson faces personal alcoholism and bereavement as well as professional crises--for instance, the deployment of the Tomahawk to the Middle East when it is only just barely operational. Congressional ineptitude, interservice rivalry, and corruption in beltway think tanks also complicate Lenson's life and the plot. Poyer's Lenson novels are so character driven that calling them thrillers is misleading, and here Poyer includes a solid cast of secondary characters who are thoroughly individualized yet serve to raise the ethical questions Poyer always brings to the fore. This demanding, excellent novel is probably the best so far in a major contemporary seafaring saga." - Roland Green |
