<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Ex-soldier Hugh Stanton learns from a Cambridge academic that time travel is possible and decides to return to June 1914 to prevent the First World War in this page-turning sci-fi thriller.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The fifteenth novel in David Poyer's acclaimed series of naval adventures featuring Dan Lenson, <i>Tipping Point</i> is an action-packed, utterly authentic story of duty, war, and the stress of command, by the most popular living author of American sea fiction. </b> <p/>Captain Dan Lenson is under fire both at sea, and in Washington. His command of the first antiballistic-missile-capable cruiser in the Fleet, USS Savo Island, is threatened when he's called home to testify before Congress. There, he must defend his controversial decision to prevent a massive retaliatory missile attack by Israel against civilian targets in the Mideast. <p/>Shaken by the near-end of his career, Lenson returns to command uncertain of his own future, but determined to do his best by a damaged ship and an increasingly divided crew. Ordered to the Indian Ocean, Savo cruises off East Africa, protecting shipping lanes from pirates. But this seemingly-routine patrol turns ominous when an unknown assailant begins assaulting female crew members. <p/>But then, an explosive showdown begins between India and Pakistan...with Savo Island, and her unique but not yet fully battle-ready ability to intercept ballistic missiles, standing alone between two nations on the brink of the first theater nuclear war. Dan will have to battle tsunami-driven seas, incoming weapons, and a quickly tilting balance of power, as China moves inexorably in her bid to displace America in the far Pacific.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DAVID POYER's sea career included service in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Arctic, Caribbean, and Pacific. <i>Tipping Point</i> is the fifteenth in his widely popular series featuring Captain Dan Lenson.
