This Sequel to the Acclaimed Cult Novel Is Now a Major FILM

Darryl Ponicsan’s debut novel The Last Detail was named one of the best of the year and widely acclaimed, catapulting him to popularity when it had been first published. The storyplot of two profession sailors assigned to escort a seaman from Norfolk to the naval jail in Portsmouth, New Hampshire—and of the mayhem that ensues—it had been converted to an award-winning movie starring Jack Nicholson. Last Flag Traveling, set thirty-four years about Last Flag Soaring after the events from the Last Detail, includes the same beloved characters—Billy Bad-Ass Buddusky, Mule Mulhall, and Meadows—to reprise the same trip but under completely different circumstances.

Now middle-aged, Meadows seeks out his previous captors in their civilian lives to greatly help him bury his son, a Sea killed in Iraq, in Arlington Country wide Cemetery. When he discovers that the regulators have told him a lay about the circumstances of his son’s loss of life, he decides, by using both others, to move him house to Portsmouth. Therefore begins the trip, focused around a solemn objective but, as in the first publication, a protest against injustice and celebration of life as well, at once irreverent, funny, profane, and deeply moving. Last Flag Flying is now a major movie, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell, and Laurence Fishburne.
