Great sea tale. David Poyer (Captain, USNR ret.) knows the Navy inside out, so the settings, machinery, drama, and ship's company are all spot on. Dan Lenson isn't the easiest hero to like--too much the loner, to easily blind-sided by his own vanities and insecurities, always on a career track to oblivion or worse. But Lenson saliors on and, while he never makes it look easy, he always makes it right at the end.
