Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It was a simpler time. It was a quieter time. A boy growing up in a small Northern California town in the late 1950s was fairly well isolated from the world at large. My 50,600-word novel, Spears Odyssey, chronicles the first experiences of a 19-year old boy as he ventures out beyond the familiar. His name is Chris Clark and he joins the Navy. After boot camp he is assigned to a Navy electronics school in Virginia. His story begins there - in Norfolk, Virginia. 'Wanna do it ' In response she hunches up her shoulders and says, 'Okay. Where ' Imagine Chris' reaction to his encounter with a girl in the park when she agrees to have sex with him. It would be his first time. It doesn't work out, but not for a lack of trying. With the resilience of the young, he recovers from his disappointment and focuses on his first duty station at Dam Neck, near Virginia Beach. Upon reporting in, Chris learns he is being transferred to a World War II-era destroyer while awaiting the start of his class. The ship is the U.S.S. Spears and it becomes the instrument of an odyssey from naiveté to maturity. On his months-long journey he is schooled in the various aspects of shipboard life. From fellow sailors he learns about life in other regions of the United States and finally has his first, successful sexual encounter while in Scotland. Toward the end, his journey turns tragic as a couple of crewmembers die in horrible ways. Even though Chris was a direct witness to one of the deaths, with the help of his Division Officer he learns to accept what happened and move on. As Spears plied her way back toward Norfolk, Chris realized he was no longer the unsure, easily intimidated neophyte that left Virginia a couple of months before. Rather, he was coming away from his odyssey with an increased level of self confidence and a newly found sense of pride.
