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 remainâ??152 men and 26 womenâ??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 survivorsâ??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 postapocalyptic suspense is perfect for readers of Going Home by A.

This is a post apocalyptic novel. The plot moves along at a slow pace, perhaps too slow for some. The writer is rather eloquent. There is much reflection and little action. And it is good so. The main character is complex and invites you to put yourself into his shoes, so to speak. All in all, this is very worthwhile reading and considering it’s length you are in for days of enjoyment.

This is a 30+ hour long book. Speech patterns akin to Brit college professor vice gritty sailor. combined with a propensity for verbosity using a plethora of words. This book could be 8-10 hours long with no problem. I learned a new word every day. The story is fascinating. I loved the plot and persevered to the end in spite of the authors writing style. ( )

Ok but I wish there was a sequel. ( )

Unbelievably grandiose. And the sex scenes were creepy. ( )

This book lingered in my mind for weeks after I read it. I sometimes still flash on it. It is the story of the men on a warship after global thermonuclear war. They travel around the oceans and every time you think something is going to go right for them, something worse happens. Gives you a lot to think about. Well worth the read if you like lots of characters and huge books and post apocalytic fiction. ( )

In bravura beauty, no ship has ever come off a Navy ways to be compared with the destroyer and she was a fine example of a noble breed.
