CRISIS, THE by David Poyer - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by David Poyer.
The cries come on the wind, on the blowing
dust.
They’re high, exultant, mingled with
the grind of tires, the noisy honking of
trucks.
Then the killing begins.
Years of drought and famine have brought
Ashaara to the brink of chaos. When the
government falls, a charismatic young
warlord known as Al-Maahdi begins an
armed insurgency. As thousands of refugees
stream toward camps, the United States
intervenes to feed them, and to try to
stabilize a strategically important region.
Commander Dan Lenson and his Tactical
Analysis Group find themselves at the heart
of the humanitarian mission. The team
helps coordinate food and water supplies,
manages massive port and inland logistics,
and directs strikes against insurgents and
pirates. Dan is torn between the plight of
men, women, and children struggling to
survive, and the brutal reality of fighting a
ruthless enemy whose tactics checkmate
American might. A devastating insurgent
offensive and a massive hotel bombing
wipes out the last hope for democratic
government.
With thousands of lives at
stake and the humanitarian mission about to
collapse, Dan – along with SEAL master
sniper Teddy Oberg – has to scour a
forbidding desert, find Al-Maahdi, and kill
him…fast.
