The first in the Dan Lenson series, Poyer's "The Circle" graphical explores what it is like to be a green ensign boarding his first ship. Assigned to First Division where all the malcontents work, Lenson runs up against a corrupt executive officer who threatens his future in the navy. The scenes of the ship in raging seas above the Arctic Circle are excellent. The book ends with a drawn out courtroom scene that could have been shortened for dramatic effect. Still, an excellent glimpse into the challenges of life at seas. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312929641, Mass Market Paperback)

For four years at Annapolis he prepared for this, pledging his youth, his ambition, and even his life. But when junior officer Dan Lenson finally gets his commission, it's an aging World War II destroyer. Now, with a mix of pride and fear, he heads into the world's most dangerous seas.

As the Ryan plunges into the dark waters of the Arctic Circle at the height of storm season, Lenson and the crew pursue a mysterious and menacing enemy. But he soon discovers a foe even more dangerous within the Ryan, advancing a shocking agenda that drives the ship closer and closer to disaster-testing Lenson's life and loyalty to their very limit.
