About this ebook
Naval Commander Dan Lenson and his Tactical Analysis Group specialize in out of the box military assign ments. Comprising sailors, Navy SEALS, and civilians, the group investigates and defuses naval threats around the world.
Dan and his team are assigned to "transform" a patrol craft squadron in the Red Sea into a leaner, meaner Navy. Mean - while, in northern Africa, drought and famine have brought a nation to the brink of civil war. When the United States decides on intervention to stabilize the region, Dan and his team become the point people for the humanitarian mission. When a charismatic young jihadist coordinates a ferocious insur gency against the U.S. presence, Dan and his team must kill him in order to save thousands of lives.
With exciting action, espionage, and exotic locales, The Crisis asks bigger questions about our obligations to relieve the suffering of other countries, the risk of American lives to rescue foreigners, and the role of democratic government in nations with no central leadership.

This is the third Poyer book I have read and I enjoy them. One word of caution is that they are written at a slightly higher level than many military thrillers and are almost textbook in their presentation. If you are after fast light reading then this may take you a while to get into the meat of the intrigue. The author and his wife are accomplished writers and teach seminars and courses in writing so you know it is going to have a somewhat more formal structure than Brad Thor, or Vince Flynn. If you can get through some of the histroically significant W.E.B. Griffin works then the Poyer series will be right down your alley..
