Title: Just Say "No" to Brinkley
Review: Never mind the laborious writing style - William Brinkley tries to write a clever apocalyptic thriller and does a pretty shoddy job of it. His "nautical" narration and dialogue are rife with laughable anachronisms and a cursory understanding of modern naval warfare and how a warship operates at sea, while trying desperately to sound authentic. Similarly, Brinkley apparently never stopped to think that breeding generations of people who by design have no idea who their fathers are will ultimately repopulate the planet with inbred mutants as successive generations unwittingly procreate with their own siblings (again, perhaps a Naval officer in reality wouldn't know such things, but Brinkley tries to feed it to the reader as a brilliant device to save mankind while maintaining the peace on the island). Read "On the Beach" instead..
