- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I liked it a lot. The story reminded me of my time in the USN.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The 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.
