A Mysterious Review of The Commodore by P. T. Deutermann. A Military Thriller.
Review summary: Far more than merely a sequence of battles fought by the Navy against Japan in the Pacific, this book is also a human-interest story, one of valor and prejudice, and of trust and respect. A fictional story with the backdrop of authentic history, this military action thriller is an exciting and rewarding read. (Click here for text of full review.)

The Commodore
P. T. Deutermann
A Military Thriller
St. Martin's Press (August 2016)
Publisher synopsis: 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.
