The Semper Fi cast is back for the Korean War. I listened on the edge of my seat. Although some of the verbiage is redundant and reviews the story from the first eight books, one quickly gets over that and into a Special ops plot that is a cliff hanger at the end. Again, the intertwining of national political characters with very tactical stories is one of Griffen's best traits. One more book to go and it's finis for the Corps. ( )

Outstanding story that draws from the previous book without rehashing. Kept my interest though out, better then most of the WEB Griffin war saga novels. ( )

WWII is over and "Killer" McCoy is ostracized for an honest evaluation of the threat of communist North Korea invading South Korea. Once a Marine, always a Marine as McCoy, Pickering, Hart, Zimmerman, and an important cast of others are brought back into the Semper Fi fold to first bring McCoy back into the good graces of the U.S Marines, then work skillfully with President Truman and around the military genius of Douglas MacArthur to head off a potential long conflict through an invasion of Inchon. Griffin once again proves that he is one of the masters of military fiction as this one keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. I am continually amazed at how human Griffin makes the important players in this game seem. ( )
