What We're Reading: Edward


Crisis: a Dan Lenson Novel
by David Poyer
Naval Commander Dan Lenson has been assigned to the Tactical Analysis Group. Dan has a history of doing things outside the box. He has admirers and detractors in the chain of command. Dan and his group are sent to the Red Sea to see if the Navy's patrol craft can be used more widely and effectively. Crisis comes in the form of a nation at the brink of civil war. Drought, famine, tribal rivalry, and religious fanaticism are pushing the nation over the edge. Dan and other United States agencies work to keep people alive. Chaos leads to crisis after crisis. Poyer challenges the reader to think about the realities of war and peace. How far should we get involved to save lives?
