Praise for The Last Ship
“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.”—The Wall Street
Journal
“An extraoridincary novel of men at war, a superb portrtait of
naval command, The Last Ship is a powerful and exciting
novel you will not want to miss.”—The Washington Post
“Beautifully written...as if the narrator has set himself the task
of preserving the language, of writing it down lest it be lost
forever...Brinkley's plot contains a series of unexpected reversals
and the tale's conclusion is unforgettably intense...A magnificent
book.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer
“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.”—The New York Times Book
Review
“Brinkley’s tale has humanity, thoughtfulness and one inspired
complication: women.”—Time
