THE COMMODORE
The novel follows Vice Admiral “Bull” Halsey as he fights a losing battle against Japan at the height of World War II. The story is truly thrilling, a fascinating look into wartime turmoil, just as relevant today as ever.
In The Commodore, the Navy in 1942-1943 is fighting a losing battle against Japan for control of the Solomon Islands. Vice Admiral William "Bull" Halsey is tasked to change the course of the war. Halsey, a maverick, goes on the offensive and appoints a host of new destroyer commanders, including a wild-card named Harmon Wolf. An American Indian from a Minnesota reservation, Wolf has never fit in with the traditional Navy officer corps. But under Halsey, Wolf's aggressive tactics and gambling nature bring immediate results, and he is swiftly promoted to Commodore of an entire destroyer squadron.
What happens next will change Wolf's life, career, and the fate of his ships forever. An epic story of courage, disaster, survival, and triumph that culminates in the pivotal battle of Vela Gulf, The Commodore is a masterful novel of an unlikely military hero.
With the success of his past WWII novels, Deutermann has earned a loyal following, eager to read his next installment. His books are bestselling novels in audio, and he is extremely successful in large print. His 26 years of service as a naval commander grant his work an authenticity that is rare in the suspense genre. We expect great things from this title, and his reviews and word of mouth far beyond what is typical in the genre. Deutermann’s works have been growing in popularity in foreign markets, and we look forward to continuing that trend.
P. T. DEUTERMANN is the author of more than fifteen novels, including Pacific Glory, which won the W. Y. Boyd Literary Award for Excellence in Military Fiction, as well as two other World War II-era sea adventures, Ghosts of Bungo Suido and Sentinels of Fire. Deutermann spent twenty-six years in military and government service, as a captain in the Navy and in the Joint Chiefs of Staff as an arms-control specialist. He lives with his wife in North Carolina.
