The Few: A Tale of the Marines in the Near Future
Book 1 of The Return of the Marines
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.
Taking place in Quantico and Washington, in Thailand, aboard the USS Reagan, and, of course, in New Delhi, this novel brings together the many stories of the people involved.
