Synopsis

Commanding a combined US-South Korea force, the newly promoted U.S. Navy hero Dan Lenson wonders if his embattled group can possibly keep sea lanes open in the Central Pacific as he tries to turn the tide and buy time for the Allies to regroup. But when his own flagship comes under ferocious attack, he must leave it to assume command elsewhere-without knowing when he'll be able to return. In the meantime, SEAL operator Teddy Oberg, escaping from a hellish POW camp, heads west through desolate mountains toward what he hopes will be freedom. And in Washington, DC, Dan's wife, Blair Titus, helps formulate America's military and political response to overwhelming setbacks in the Pacific and at home. Filled with dramatic battle scenes from massive ship, submarine, and air warfare to desperate hand-to-hand Marine Corps combat-and informed by the author's own background as a Navy captain and defense analyst-Hunter Killer is a powerful, all-too-believable novel about how the next world war might unfold.

As a Navy Veteran I am drawn to Naval stories; unfortunately, this book was a disappointment. Admiral Dan Lenson is the main protagonist. The story is about the United States in a war with China. Admiral Lenson is command of the U.S. and South Korea naval force. Although Mr. Poyer is able to draw fr......more

Poyer is pretty good at what he does, but I thought this installment in the Dan Lenson series felt a little incomplete. There is plenty of action, but it ended in the usual cliffhanger to get you to buy the next in the series. The action on land is far more interesting than the sea battles. Land act......more

Damn good scenario of how a war with China would unfold in the Pacific. Warning this is the second part of a three book narrative and ends with an annoying cliffhanger.......more

Goodreads review by D.W.Tarman on January 04, 2018

Didn't care about characters. Perhaps if I'd read earlier ones I'd feel differently. Short-hand for weapons system left me uncertain about what their functions were. Read 70% and quit. Never felt I understood the overall situation. I was hoping for another Tom Clancy but found myself disappointed. L......more
