    The Return of the Marines Series

    By Jonathan P. Brazee

    3.5/5

    About this series

    In the near future, the Marines have been brought to full status after budget cuts had relegated them to guarding embassies and the White House.  Newly commissioned 2dLt Anthony Niimoto, a hero of the embassy takeover in New Delhi, is with the first Marine battalion to get back into the deployment cycle.  Assigned to anti-piracy, this is supposed to be a dull deployment.  But when a US ship is seized by Somali pirates, it's First Platoon, K 3/6 at the tip of the spear.  With SSgt Davidson, an ex-Ranger who returns to his Marine roots, the two of them must lead their platoon into harm's way, ever conscious of Black Hawk Down, the Battle of Mogadishu.

    Was Tony Niimoto a one-shot wonder in New Delhi, or does he really have what it takes to be a leader of Marines? 

    (Although a stand-alone book in its own right, this is Book 2 of The Return of the Marines series.)

    (Note:  there is a glossary of military acronyms at the end of the book for those not familiar with them)

      Gunnery Sergeant Jacob McCardle is the commander of the Marine Detachment at the US Embassy, New Delhi, when the president of the United States arrives on an official visit, the same man who, as a Congressman, sponsored the bill that had decimated the Corps in a cost-cutting effort. As the president arrives, the embassy is attacked and isolated by a mob of nationalists. With the Indian government seemingly unwilling to take action to restore order and with an ambitious vice-president seizing this as an opportunity to move up to the White House, it is up to Gunny McCardle and his small band of Marines to keep the president alive. Faced with tremendous odds, Gunny has to lead his Marines in an almost impossible task. That is nothing new to the US Marines. Impossible tasks are the Corps' forte. But can his small detachment keep up the tradition of the Corps and succeed despite tremendous odds?  (The Few is Book 1 of the The Return of the Marines Trilogy. Book 2 in the series, The Proud, and Book 3, The Marines, are also in print)
