Dan Lenson Series
by David Poyer
Lenson reports to the West Wing to direct a multiservice team working to interdict the flow of drugs from Latin America. Never one to just warm a chair, he sets out to help destroy the Cartel---and uncovers a troubling thread of clues that link cunning and ruthless drug lord Don Juan Nuñez to an assault on a nuclear power plant in Mexico, an obscure Islamic relief agency in Los Angeles, and an air cargo company’s imminent flight plan across the United States.
"Most thriller fans will feel this is familiar territory that has been plumbed more effectively by Tom Clancy and David Balducci." - PW.
"Recommended especially for fans of Robert Ludlum's political thrillers (although Poyer is a superior writer)." - Booklist.
"A gloomy story, but Poyer remains the most thoughtful of the military-thriller set and a master of authentic detail." - Kirkus.
Poyer is also the author of The Circle, The Med, The Gulf, The Passage, Tomahawk, China Sea, Black Storm, and The Command.
