About the Book

This book is a fictionalized autobiography spanning the years 1939-2036. The main character, Larry Darwin Marville, is a career Navy man, spending twenty years in the service. He is among the first Navy SEAL’s and the recipient of two Medals of Honor. When his two friends, closer to him than brothers, are missing in action in Vietnam at the end of the war, he retires from the Navy and does a clandestine re-entry into Vietnam bringing out three prisoners of war.

Larry begins a new career in California and becomes a family man. After eighteen years of bliss, he is widowed and moves into his final destiny - becoming our nation’s last warrior. Remembering the oath he took as a seventeen year old entering the Naval Service in 1956, he understands the difference between foreign and domestic foes. Dealing with corrupt politicians with the only tools they understand when all else has failed, this fifty-nine year old man becomes our Nation’s Guardian, returning the United States to freedom, freeing her from political corruption at the highest level of government.

You’ll laugh, cry and your heart will pump faster through the action filled pages of love, war, history, and daily life.

This novel is filled with true experience, but a fictional tale it is. It is up to the reader to determine when fact becomes fiction.
