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. ( ) 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. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In 1950, Captain Ken McCoyâ??s report on North Korean hostilities meets with so much bureaucratic displeasure that he is promptly booted out of the Corpsâ??and just as promptly picked up by the fledgling CIA. Soon, his predictions come true: on June 25th the North Koreans invade across the 38th parallel. Immediately veterans scattered throughout military and civilian life are called up, many with only seventy-two hours notice. For these men and their families, names such as Inchon and Pusan will acquire a new, bloody realityâ??and become their greatest c Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
