No Greater Duty

By: Robert Stewart

Narrated by: Josh Casaubon

Because we never leave our sailors and Marines behind!

Fans of A Few Good Men and Saving Private Ryan will be drawn to this powerful story of courage, integrity, and valor in uniform.

Alex Kramer, a prior-enlisted marine and a midshipman at the US Naval Academy, saved three gravely-wounded brothers during combat and was decorated for extraordinary valor. Now conflict confronts him after he takes unauthorized leave to prevent a suicide by a Marine whose life he had rescued under fire. Navy Lieutenant Tara Marcellus, an Academy graduate and submarine junior officer, has returned to Annapolis as a company officer. She meets the fearless midshipman who petitions Tara's sense of moral courage when senior officers recommend punishing Alex with the harshest sanction: separation.

Alex's case triggers heated arguments at the Naval Academy's highest levels. He fiercely defends the code of honor he swore and bled to uphold: Never leave a sailor or Marine behind. Tara deals with a major test of character: either take Alex's side with risks to her role or do nothing and regret her silence. Together, the two young service members will stand up for a greater duty—for integrity—because it is honorable, despite any consequences that lie ahead for them.

Good Navy tale

This is an excellent first novel. The author clearly knows the Naval Academy from the inside. The story centers on a former enlisted Marine faced with a man he once commanded at risk for his life. The choice is between duty and strict adherence to the Academy's rules. And they don't make his choice an easy one.

Looking forward to the author's next.

Genuine and Inspiring
