Hardback. Condition: Good. Dan Lenson takes his damaged ship and a fractious crew into the dangerous Indian Ocean and South China Sea, where India and Pakistan are poised on the brink of a nuclear confrontation.

Hardback. Condition: Fair. Newly-promoted to Captain, Dan Lenson's first glimpse of his command is of a ship literally high and dry. The USS Savo Island, which carries a classified, never-before-deployed missile defence system, has run aground on an exposed sandbar off Naples. Captain Lenson has to relieve the ship's disgraced skipper and deploy on a secret mission-Operation Stellar Shield-which will take his ship and crew into the dangerous waters bordering the Middle East. As a climate of war builds between Israel and Iraq, with threats of nuclear and chemical weapons, Dan has to rally Savo Island's demoralized crew, confront a mysterious death on board ship, while learning to operate a complex missile system that has not been battle tested. But when the conflict reaches a climax, Dan is forced to make a decision that may cost hundreds of thousands of innocent lives-or may save them, but at the cost of his ship and his career. Filled with dramatic sea adventure, authentic weapons and technology, and distinguished by Poyer's deep understanding of duty and the moral choices made in combat, The Cruiser is the fourteenth novel to feature Dan Lenson in military service that carries him throughout the world.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. David Poyer is a Naval Academy graduate, retired naval officer, and Distinguished Visiting Writer at USNA. His novels have been required reading in the Literature of the Sea course there, along with those of Joseph Conrad and Herman Melville. Poyer has spent thousands of hours researching articles for Shipmate, the U.S. Naval Academy's magazine, of which he is the contributing editor. Extensively footnoted, these extraordinary stories of adventure and courage span American history from the Civil War to the War on Terror. This book sheds light on corners of history that still affect us today. For example, our huge prison population can be traced to Richmond P. Hobson, the force behind today's draconian drug sentences. Merian C. Cooper was both an air ace in World War One and the director of the classic film KING KONG. Philo McGiffin, a prankster at the Academy, became a high-ranking officer in the Imperial Chinese Navy, surveying many of the islands China claims today. Other graduates held bridges under fire, sacrificed their lives to save shipmates, shot down snipers with pistols, rescued fellow aviators on enemy territory, advised presidents, led Iraqi militias . . . and much, much more. But Poyer tries not to engage in hero worship. Some of his subjects weren't good fathers, sons, or family men. Others didn't always act as nobly later in life as they once had. Still, for at least one shining moment, each of the men and women profiled stood on the mountaintop, and made the difficult choice: To risk it all, for flag, country, honor, and those they led into battle.…

Condition: Good. Navy Commander Dan Lenson heads up TAG Team C, a select group of naval officers, special forces, and civilian contractors whose assignment is to confront imminent naval threats. When a new Russian rocket torpedo-a nuclear warhead that is fast and unstoppable - is tested at a Russian international arms conference, Dan and his team try to buy the weapon's engineering plans, but narrowly escape with their lives as their mission is betrayed. After Iran acquires the weapon for its dangerous military build up, the team is sent to steal it from the submarine that hides it. A daring night time entry leads to a blistering fire fight, with Dan commanding a submarine he does not know how to navigate, and pursued by an army of Iranian warships and sub- hunting jets through the maze of oilfields in the Persian Gulf. Amazing action and daring espionage combine in a Das Boot meets Vince Flynn thriller set in today's hair-trigger military environment.…
