The Last Paladin
Author: P. T. Deutermann
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1250279879
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Winner of the 2023 W.Y. Boyd Literary Award for Excellence in Military Fiction: A gripping tale of anti-submarine warfare in the World War II Pacific Theater, by a master of military adventure fiction. The Last Paladin by P.T. Deutermann is based on the true story of the USS Holland (DE-24), a World War II Atlantic Fleet destroyer escort which has spent the past two years in the unforgiving battle for survival against the German U-boats of the North Atlantic. Summoned to relieve destroyers that are bogged down by escort duty in the escalating Pacific Theater, the Holland is met with a rather cold reception. In the eyes of Pacific Fleet sailors, North Atlantic convoy duty pales in comparison to the bloody, carrier-sinking battles of Savo Island and Guadalcanal. However, Atlantic Fleet ships have had to specialize in one thing: anti-submarine warfare. The Holland is sent off into remote South Pacific operating areas with orders to find and destroy Japanese submarines—but with little expectation of success. Her commanders take the mission literally; using radio intercepts that are being ignored at higher levels, they determine that the Japanese have set up a 1000-mile-long picket line of six submarines, an entire squadron's worth, to act as a moveable barrier against the expected American advance into the next set of islands. These submarines are poised to sink every American aircraft carrier and destroyer and to change the course of the war. What happens next is one of the legendary stories of the US Navy. The Last Paladin is high stakes naval warfare at its best, told with utter authenticity and a former ship captain's understanding of dramatic, intense combat. P. T. Deutermann continues his acclaimed series of WWII thrillers in this unforgettable novel.

Book Description
When Jesse Ross was eighteen he was forced to learn firsthand that a person's life could be changed irrevocably by one deed—and the endless chain of events this original act sets into motion. That was something Jesse's neighbor Gray Fletcher had experienced years before when he was with the Texas Rangers. Gray had joined to seek retaliation against marauding Indians who had killed his wife and one of their children. Now Jesse had killed a Union soldier to protect his family and was on the run. His one hope was to join other Missourians in Slaughter's Rangers, an underground outfit. But revenge had not been enough to sustain Gray years ago; how long would it be enough for Jesse?
