The Gulf: A Thriller (Dan Lenson Novels)

As a force of unidentified submarines tracks down through the Sea of Japan, Dan realizes this may be the opening of a new Korean War — a cunning attempt to upset US alliances and realign the balance of power in Asia. Together with a ruthless South Korean commodore, Dan battles faulty torpedoes, two typhoons, and the Washington establishment to keep war from erupting in the Pacific. Featuring fierce action at sea and political intrigue ashore, Korea Strait is both a first-class thriller and a gripping exploration of leadership and command.

No bluster, no dazzle, just real naval engagements that we may well see before long. Poyer provides readers with a satisfying, fast-paced narrative in which Dan must negotiate his past, his superiors, and an unpredictable submerged enemy. Poyer's tech talk throughout is nicely turned, and Dan Lenson remains a winningly weary hero.

Shaken by the near-end of his career, Lenson returns to his ship uncertain of his future, but determined to unite and heal a divided crew.
