Publisher's Summary
Hailed "an extraordinary novel of men at war" (Washington Post), The
Last Ship is the book that inspired the TNT miniseries starring Eric
Dane, Rhona Mitra, and Adam Baldwin, with Michael Bay as executive producer.
The unimaginable has happened: the world has been plunged into all-out
nuclear war. Sailing near the Arctic Circle, the USS Nathan James is
relatively unscathed, but the future is grim and Captain Thomas is facing
mutiny from the tattered remnants of his crew. With civilization in
ruins, he urges those that remain - 152 men and 26 women - to pull together
in search of land. Once they reach safety, however, the men and women
on board realize that they are the earth's last remaining survivors
- and they've all been exposed to radiation. When none of the women
seems able to conceive, fear sets in. Will this be the end of humankind?
This thrilling tale of post-apocalyptic suspense is perfect for readers
of Going Home by A. American, Lights Out by David Crawford, The End
and The Long Road by G. Michael Hopf, and One Second After by William
Forstchen.
What the Critics Say
"Nevil Shute wrote a moving book, On the Beach, about the aftermath
of a nuclear war... Now William Brinkley has used the same premise to
tell and even more fascinating tale."
Wall Street Journal
"William Brinkley writes in expert detail about life on the sea... Readers
will be engaged by this ambitious tale, which draws on the legacies
of Melville and Conrad but is full of its own nuclear-age quandaries
and horrors."
New York Times Book Review
"An extraordinary novel of men at war, a superb portrait of naval command,
The Last Ship is a powerful and exciting novel you will not want to
miss."
Washington Post
of yarn."
