THE THREAT—David Poyer—Current and ongoing political questions are posed as Commander Dan Lenson, a military patriot (in the best sense of the word) moved from one position to another, each closer the President. Almost written in three or four acts, with an overriding storyline, governmental power struggles, inabilities of agencies to cooperate with each other, etc., are highlighted leading to a remark of how things had changed; “From protest to conformity, From openness to secrecy. From confidence to carefully inculcated fear.” Highly interesting and written from a professional soldier's point of view.
