The Few: A Tale of the Marines in the Near Future tells the tale of the Marine Security Guard Detachment at the US Embassy, New Delhi, India during an embassy take-over.   The take-over was timed for the visit of the President of the United States, a man, who as a congressman, helped down-size the Corps in a cost-cutting measure.  It comes down to Gunnery Sergeant McCardle and his small detachment of Marines to keep the president alive until help can arrive.  But with an ambitious vice-president stalling that rescue, can the detachment succeed in this task?  The Marines have a history of defeating long odds, but this situation will put that history to test.
