You're heading for extreme danger at sea!

What do you do when a terrible midnight storm brings you too close to another ship at sea?

Lt. Stephen Wheatley is in charge of USS Latner (DD-752) heading into a violent storm in the Pacific during training operations. There's a mysterious ship out there, last reported at four miles distant but ship's radar fails and men at vital posts go missing. Captain's Standing Night Orders call for Officer-of-the-deck, Wheatley, to notify him whenever a contact, "Skunk Alpha," closes to within 3 nautical miles.

Wheatley hesitates, hoping to find the ship before calling the Captain. The mystery ship is lost in mountainous waves an torrential rains.

˃˃˃ Court Martial

How do you defend yourself from a prosecutor's accusation, "All you had to do was pick up the phone and call the Captain! Why didn't you do that?" Wheatley almost leaps out of defendant's chair at prosecutor as he defends himself against charges of "Dereliction of Duty." The consequences for Lt. Wheatley are dire and he's thrust deep into regret, recrimination and remorse.

˃˃˃ How do you redeem your good name and regain sense of personal and military bearing?

Wheatley risks family and friends while leading a daring rescue mission back out into the Pacific where some naval personnel take extraordinary actions to save lives on a "large target."

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

John Barell is a veteran Antarctic explorer who became an educator to foster the kinds of inquiry he experienced at age thirteen when he first read the dramatic accounts of polar exploration of Byrd, Scott and Amundsen. Absolute Bearing results from asking, "What if I had been in this terrible storm at sea with resulting tragic consequences? How would I have redeemed myself for mistakes and regained personal bearing?"

5,0 su 5 stelle Realistic and Nostalgic

Kudos to my former shipmate and fellow Antarctic explorer for his excellent double plotted novel "Absolute Bearing". Undoubtedly, traversing the wind swept "Roaring Forties" and "Screaming Fifties" on our Navy Icebreaker John certainly gained some great experiences as to what a severely tempestuous seas can actually behave and what mirages the mind conjures up when you have the responsibility and safety of a ship and a large crew our your shoulders. As I would expect, John did a great job in also depicting the issues that may arise during a Navy court martial when weather related factors weigh in the balance. The court martial presentation was very realistic, and a very probable scenario for a real one. The added sub-plot concerning the rescue of the leading characters father was " icing on the cake" The book is an excellent read for anyone who wants to know what a slice of Navy life can be and for those nostalgic sea going sailor who would like to relive past experiences. I have read the book twice to savor thee flavor of past experiences, and I eagerly await a sequel to the book which John promised me!

4,0 su 5 stelle An enjoyable and thought-provoking story

I was very impressed with the ability of the author to describe the actions and thoughts of the main character. Even if you didn't agree with what he did, you did understand the rational for his decisions. This was the first ebook that I read on my Samsun tablet and it was quite enjoyable.

3,0 su 5 stelle A lot of filler
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 4 marzo 2014

The author spent lot of time filling this book with what I felt was just mindless wandering. Sometimes we readers need the background of the situation or what someone is thinking to tie the story together. Although some of the rambling was useful, it was expanded beyond necessity. I spent time skimming a lot and almost gave up but there was some interest in seeing how it ended. When he did write about the two main story lines, it was well written and held my interest.

Get it if it's for free.

If you would like the experience of being at sea in extremely trying conditions and dangerous circumstances, then you must read “Absolute Bearing” by John Barell. As the images come alive, the action and adventure engages and entertains you, from beginning to end. Here is a well told, well written story about a young naval officer who has to “renavigate” his life because of one unusual event.

1,0 su 5 stelle Absolute boring
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 febbraio 2014
Acquisto verificato
The story starts out ok with a navy destroyer on a collision course with another ship. The tension was high as the OOD of the destroyer fights to keep his ship safe. However, that is the entire highlight of the book. The main character becomes so immersed in his own pity that you begin to wish it was a murder mystery so that someone would come along and do him in. I kept reading hoping beyond hope that at some point he would stop wallowing in his own self pity. I hung with the story for a little more than 50% of the book and then gave up.

I would not recommend this book to any audience.
