Rating: Summary: A big Book about small unit action Review: In the days prior to commencement of the ground war in Iraq during the first Gulf War, allied intelligence comes across a possible WMD weapon system called Flying Rocks. A hastily assembled team is inserted by helicopter and then moves over land to Baghdad.I read the Publisher's Weekly blurb, and I'm not quite sure what they are complaining about. BLACK STORM and CHINA SEA are amongst Poyer's better books. BLACK STORM is the gritty action of a recon team that penetrates 500 miles into hostile territory to discover a horrifying weapon. There are the complex interactions between the Force Recon marines, an SAS trooper who has been in the desert way too long, and two attachments. One of the charms of this book are the details as they walk across the cold desert, dodge Iraqi patrols and finally penetrate the Iraqi bunker beneath a hospital complex. Another home run.
Rating: Summary: This is one of the best books that i have ever read!!!!!!!!! Review: No one does it better than David Poyer in this genre...no one! In Black Storm:Tales of the Modern Navy, a weapon of mass destruction intended for Israel becomes the focus in this MUST READ Navy Thriller.

Rating: Summary: One of Poyer's best !! Review: The Authur takes us into a new environment for Commander Lenson, the Persian Gulf ground war. As usual , he does a vantastic job with details, descriptions and character layout. The book maintains an active pace from the beginning and keeps the reader on his toes. Good job again David !!
Rating: Summary: Outstanding Review: With lots of up to date military action and tech speak I found the book quite interesting. I have read three others and been impressed with Mr. Poyers writing. I feel his background has enabled him to write quite factual and compose a novel interesting to all that care for military action. I highly recommend this book.
