The Dan Lenson series is spectacular. I got out of the Navy 27 years ago, but his exploits bring back so many memories. The description of shipboard life, the jargon, etc. Although I never lived these stories myself, it's so easy to put yourself there. I served in the Med and Guantanamo Bay and Poyer is right on with his descriptions. I can tell he draws from his own experiences from when he was in the Navy. Now I have to go find Tomahawk and read that one.

Poyer is one of the best writers of military-techno fiction.
His books have strong characters, good settings, great action, and good use of technology in the story lines.
The downside is that Poyer seems to have a fixation with senior officers who have incredible flaws of characters.. how these psychos got into these positions of such responsibility is, perhaps, an underlying unanswered question or a great fault line in his books.
This book is a good airplane or beach read for anyone who likes military fiction. --Frank Derfler

Generally a good read. However, the very first chapter, a story about a doomed submarine, doesn't belong in this book. It's like the author's editor told him to add a "Clancy Chapter".
