All Back Two-Thirds

Peter Pinson, recent happy-go-lucky graduate from a well-known southern institution, was testing the waters of the various military organizations for the best fit. The lure of “Join the Navy and See the World” was strong, and the tiebreaker for the decision was based on the locations of the bases and the Navy’s more exciting weaponry—

aircraft carriers, submarines, cruisers, and seal teams. Peter envisions a traditional Navy career but things are never as they seem, of course, and he finds himself in some zany situations, including getting off on the wrong foot by a side trip to Germany, and inadvertently finding himself the appointed Lobster Control Officer.

All Back Two-Thirds is the first novel from author James N. Dozier, who served six years in the U. S. Navy, earned the Navy Pilot Wings, and landed on the U.S.S. Intrepid which was decommissioned in 1974 and is now berthed on the Hudson River as the centerpiece of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
