About The Marathon Watch: Ross
Review "A Vietnam-era naval thriller pits a destroyer's crew against a scheming admiral. Dialogue and action are vivid, and the machinations of the naval hierarchy are completely believable. Scenes aboard the ship are palpably real, especially the breathtakingly intense rescue scene. A riveting, realistic tale of Navy seamen and their pride in their ship." -- Kirkus Reviews"Excellent book; It's as good as the military novels from Follett or Clancy . . . The Marathon Watchwas a 'can't put it down' book from the word go." -- Gerald Pall"A portrayal of integrity versus malevolence wrapped inside a spellbinding story that takes you inside a world of adventure and intrigue . . . a must read." -- Mike Hannigan"Treachery and greed are up against honor, loyalty and ingenuity in this rousing tale of a ship and crew placed at risk by those who should have had their best interests at heart. The author spins a gripping yarn whose climax will have you on the edge of your seat. A great read!" -- Lindsay Ziegler"Leadership insights from the top to the bottom of the hierarchy AND an inside / outside view of each character--fascinating." - Jeanette Shallop"I knew someday I would find a gripping contemporary book about the United States Navy...It was great to read a book able to make the traditions and culture of the US Navy come to life and have meaning." -- Andrea Luhmanon"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." -- Roger D. Thomeon Product Description Duty, honor, and tradition confront blind ambition. Based on a true event! Great book. I really enjoyed reading this. Fast action and well written. You should add this to your must read list - Kindle Customer (3/2/15) This is one of the best naval stories I have read in years. - Neely Sexton This is a book for Clancy, Follett, Reeman, and Poyer fans. The Marathon Watch pits treachery, deceit, and betrayal against naval traditions of duty, honor, and loyalty. At the center of this struggle is the oldest US naval destroyer, the USS Farnley. The chief of naval operations steps in to rescue the Farnley and bring an unscrupulous admiral to justice, but disaster strikes. Guided by the canons of tradition, the Farnley’s courageous captain and crew disobey the admiral’s orders. In a life-or-death struggle, the Farnley sails in harm’s way to save the life of a single man and the future of the US Navy. Leadership lessons abound in this story of duty and honor.
