Throw in the traditional elements of a bad apple amongst the crew, the hint of improper relationships at various points on the chain of command, and sweet, sweet engineering casualties, then season with a spicy mix of political and strategic influences that are outside CAPT Lenson's pay grade. Sound good? You bet. The problem is that the book ends abruptly. I won't detail the plot for fear of giving away spoilers, but let's just say there's a reason this book is subtitled "The First Salvo." There are several fascinating story arcs, almost none of which are resolved here. Poyer has often been compared to Tom Clancy; for what it's worth, I think Poyer is a far superior writer-- but Clancy knew how to tell an *entire* story in one of his big doorstops, while Poyer is evidently saving some material for "Tipping Point 2: Electric Boogaloo" or whatever the next book is titled. I deducted one star for making me wait at least another year to find out what happens next. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How America Can Win: Strategy, Tactics, and Logistics *by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018* Love this David Poyer series! Read the last 3 and just ordered Book 1. Can't wait to read the entire series and for th next book in December 2018.Davis Poyer brings a realistic look at the start of the eventual war with China and what we can expect in offensive and defensive weapons systems, tactics and strategies mixed in with domestic politics and the American will, or withering. Hopefully the US military is way ahead of what we lay persons know about Americas enemies and how we intend to beat them.Also Poyer explores America's secret weapon or lack thereof: Logistics.“Logistics is the stuff that if you don’t have enough of, the war will not be won as soon as.” -- General Nathaniel Green, Quartermaster, American Revolutionary Army.“… in its relationship to strategy, logistics assumes the character of a dynamic force, without which the strategic conception is simply a paper plan.” -- Commander C. Theo Vogelsang, USN“You will not find it difficult to prove that battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because of logistics.”– General Dwight D. Eisenhower ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best Dan Lenson novel to date *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2017* This is an extremely plausible "Dan Lenson" novel that deals with how the modern Navy might perform in a war in East Asia. This one features some of the gritty realities in the modern Navy, modern high technology weaponry, a plausible political backdrop, and above all, the pressures of command in a warlike environment.In this one, a US Navy weakened by lowered peacetime appropriations is thrust into a situation in which the US and China square off in the aftermath of an Indian-Pakistan conflict. In a manner more than reminiscent of 1914, the nations in the area choose sides, and the belligerents begin issuing ultimatums to one another. The use of nuclear weapons becomes suddenly very much on the table, as China seeks to assert hegemony in East Asia and throw the US out of the Western Pacific.The protagonist, Dan Lenson, commands the Navy's only operational Ballistic Missile Defense cruiser. The personnel are strained and fractured by a previously bad Captain, and the technology is experimental and barely proven. Against this backdrop the author puts together an extremely realistic political-military story that I found to be every bit as gripping (if not more so) than Clancy's Red Storm Rising -- high praise indeed. I was up all night reading this one. So will you be too.
