The book captures the real relationships between Admirals, Commodores and ship Commanding Officers, down to the new Division Officer and his relationship with the experienced Master Chief Petty Officer in his division. This book is more in line with "Mr. Roberts", not a shoot 'em up, it tells the story of a ship at war with it's own destructive navy Admiral. This is a book about leadership and how to overcome adversity while keeping a sense of humor. This book should be on the bookshelf of every new Naval Officer. It's difficult to put down until you finish it. Caution, you may lose sleep reading this book when you have a full day of work ahead of you! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great read well worth the cost of admission. *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014* Where do I start? First let me say that I'm an avid reader. I have read over a thousand books in 10 years. I say that not to brag, but to give you a measurement of my sense of comparison when I say that this book was very very good. Military fiction has not been my favorite genre. Tom Clancy goes into way too much detail. Somehow Laswell goes into a lot of detail, but he does it in a way that keeps your interest. His character construct was excellent. I feel as though I personally met and knew each individual in this book. His knowledge of the Navy is thorough and complete. Laswell has complete mastery of the English language. His sentences are perfectly constructed and punctuated. What I enjoyed most of all is his colorful scene descriptions. Here is a quote from a night scene aboard the Farnley:" The hot humid day had followed the sun westward, leaving a cool midnight breeze. The sky, God’s special gift to the sailor, was free of city lights and urban pollution. Placed on display, all of creation was set on the night’s canopy of blue-black velvet adorned with the glistening diamond dust of billions of lesser stars and the sparkling one-point diamonds of the major stars.A deep golden harvest moon hung low on the eastern horizon. Its glow cut a pewter path from moon to ship across shifting liquid swells rolling forward to meet the Farnley’s bow. The bow, rocking gently, rose, then floated gently down to embrace the next swell."Wow, I wish I could write like that.This is a book about power, control, military politics, friendship, loyalty, hard work, seamanship, all held together by the writing skills and imagination of Larry Laswell.Great Read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Proud Navy Mother and Grandmother *by K***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2020* I read this book to learn more about the Navy life of my sons (and grandson) we love to hear their Navy stories. I loved this book. It's very much in the spirit of what the Navy meant to them. It was well written and kept you on the edge of your chair about what was coming next. No one can write a story better than someone who has lived it. I tried to get the authors newsletter to keep up to date with his books, but the links didn't work. I'm sad about that as I enjoy newsletters from my favorite authors. Larry, if you read this, please fix it. I still would like to get it. I Wii follow you on Amazon. I think anyone who was in the "old navy" will enjoy it. I hope the "new navy" will teach my grandson the same values. Keep writing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/52297855-larry-laswellthe-marathon-watch-ross](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/52297855-larry-laswellthe-marathon-watch-ross) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-11-03*
