Publisher's summary

In the aftermath of a world war with China, Admiral Dan Lenson is assigned to set up a US Navy base on the rugged North Slope of Alaska, in response to Russian seabed claims that reach nearly to the US coast. Yet the current administration seems oddly reluctant to confront Russian aggression. At the same time, the International Criminal Court is accusing Dan of a war crime.

Back in Washington, Blair Titus is running Jim Yangerhans’ campaign for president, while Dan’s daughter, Nan, battles disease in a radiation-soaked Midwest. But when Moscow plans to test the Apocalyps, a nuclear-powered citykiller torpedo, in the Arctic Sea, Dan is sucked into a perilous covert mission. Will a barely victorious America survive dangerous new threats...both from without and within?

Book is OK, narrator is awful

I have been listening to Poyer's stuff for a long time but finally gave up on this book and will not be buying another. This is 90% due to the terrible narrator! It is hard to describe how awful he is but it will not take the listener more than 30 seconds of the sample to know what I mean.

Fun

Enjoyable, considering today’s political choices. If there is a next novel, I would certainly enjoy it as well.

No surprises

I was hoping the War Crimes trial was going to be in this book. They needed a lot more Cheryl. Nan is the character that the authors that are doing things for Tom Clancy should be doing for the oldest Ryan daughter. The next Dan Lansen book will be pre-ordered just like this book.

Worst narration ever???

First time I’ve taken the time to do a review but the narration by Gary Galone is simply terrible. Mispronunciations start with the first line of the book (“oparEa”???) and continue throughout. Random odd emphasis on the majority of lines makes for an unnatural flow that is almost impossible to listen to. LOVE Poyer’s writing but this narration is really bad.

Uncharacteristically Tedious

This book is a third part political campaign, a third public health diatribe that is a thinly disguised rant against those not so enthused about the COVID vaccines, and the remainder not fully living up to the genre.

I’m not likely to pay to read or listen to subsequent books in this series. The author has lost focus (another survival story) and ran out of steam ( how many words did he waste on the rifle?). This hasn’t been a heart racing page turner. It was more like a sleepwalk towards a foregone conclusion.

A note to the narrator: corpsman is pronounced without the p and without the s.
