THE COMMAND: The US Navy in the War on Terror
From the USA Today-bestselling author of The Med, The
Circle, The Gulf, The Passage, Tomahawk, China Sea, and
Black Storm . . . a heartstopping thriller of the modern
Navy in the throes of change.
After receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor for action
in Iraq, Commander Daniel V. Lenson's new orders read: take
over as skipper of USS Thomas W. Horn. His mission:
prepare the Tomahawk-equipped strike destroyer and her
crew for the Red Sea, where she'll search for weapons of
mass destruction.
But this will be no routine deployment. Horn will be the
first US Navy warship ever to sortie with an integrated
male and female crew—a controversial and politically
explosive experiment that will raise questions about morale,
behavior, training, sexual attraction, and ultimately,
performance under fire. Facing sandstorms, smugglers,
and ambushes, Horn's increasingly polarized crew will
conduct diplomatically sensitive search-and-seizure
operations against foreign vessels attempting to smuggle
arms to Iraq. But the real nightmare's brewing in Bahrain.
Where the most dangerous bomb expert in Al-Qaeda has
targeted Horn for attack— as the first step in a plan to
redraw the map of the whole Middle East.
David Poyer's novels are ranked among the finest military
fiction of our time. Bristling with suspense, action, and
intensely human characters, The Command is Poyer at his
best.
"No one writes gritty, realistic military fiction like
David Poyer. No one." —Stephen Coonts, author of America
