The year is 1942.

There are no reinforcements. There will be no rescue.

And if Todd fails, he won't just lose his crew.he'll lose the woman he loves, too.

Praise for John J. Gobbell and THE LAST LIEUTENANT:

Epic adventure in the grand tradition--a rip-snorting barnburner by a first-rate storyteller. --Stephen Coontz

There are no greater tales of epic combat than the fight for Corregidor and the Battle of Midway. John J. Gobbell masterfully combines them into a gripping war story that will be considered a classic in the decades to come. --Clive Cussler

Gobbell has, for me, personally resurrected the novel of World War I in the Pacific, combining thriller with war novel. The Last Lieutenant] calls up memories of The Naked and the Dead and James Jones. A first-rate accomplishment. --Thomas Gifford

JOHN J. GOBBELL was a U.S. Navy deck officer aboard destroyers. Rising to the rank of lieutenant, he participated in the Vietnam conflict, serving in the weapons department. In civilian life, he is an executive recruiter and is retained by corporate clients to find senior managers. He has conducted assignments for military contractors interviewing hundreds of executives responsible for major defense systems. This process piqued his interest in character development. That, coupled with a keen interest in the events of World War II, led to the development of his first four novels, all vigorously researched, as you can see on his Web site, www.JohnJGobbell.com. John and his wife, Janine, graduated from USC. They live in Laguna Niguel, California, where he is at work on his next novel.
