Synopsis
"A Fresh Tale From A Fresh, Accomplished Writer" -- Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler's List
The fact that you'll read about grey steel decks and bulkheads at sea instead of painted wooden doors and walls in a country town is irrelevant; it's the eternal struggle to do what is right -- to even sacrifice one's freedom and one's relationship to loved ones -- that gets to the heart of this literary novel of conscience. This novel, whose author actually served on the USS Midway and worked on its nuclear weapons, raises many issues that are quite relevant today, including the overhanging, perpetual threat of nuclear war and the targeting of innocent civilians. It's a fast-paced, compelling story that will keep you flipping the pages -- particularly in its final chapters, where the sailors plan to steal an actual B57 nuclear warhead, and its surprising conclusion.
"A couple of disillusioned Navy sailors, idle talk that quickly takes root, and fantastic writing that won't let you you turn away -- 'The Siren Sea' could be the best novel you read all year . . .The book is gripping, thought-provoking and moves quickly -- almost as fast as an 'I wonder if we could' daydream goes from chess game chit-chat to reality" -- Dan Shearer, Green Valley News
