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. (
