Publisher Description

It is the fall of 1950. The Marines have made a pivotal breakthrough at Inchon, but a roller coaster awaits them. While Douglas MacArthur chomps at the bit, intent on surging across the 38th parallel, Brigadier General Fleming Pickering works desperately to mediate the escalating battle between MacArthur and President Harry Truman. And somewhere out there, his own daredevil pilot son, Pick, is lost behind enemy lines—and may be lost forever.

"I've read this whole series "The Corps". Not my usual, but I found myself caught up in the characters, a group of young Marines as they battle from Korea to Vietnam. I always look for Griffin's next book, although I ahven't read the Badge of Honor or Men at War series. "

    " WB Griffin does a better job storytelling a Marine/CIA saga then a cop yarn but nonetheless , he leaves so much action & details out of the book that you come away unsatisfied after finishing. "

    " The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because I loved the series so much when it was set in WWII. Mr. Griffin threw me a curve when this one came out. After saying this, most of my favorite characters are back and better than ever. A great read. "
