Book excerpt: From the author of Special Ops and Shadow Down comes this explosive action novel about Marine Force One, a special detachment of the Marine Corps whose prowess in combat and specialized training sets them apart from the average grunt. They charge where others retreat, and succeed where others fail. They are the best America’s got. Islamic terrorists have learned a new game—wreaking havoc on Middle Eastern oil facilities to send America reeling into economic turmoil. To find the leaders of the operation, Marine Force One heads to Yemen—but the job is more complicated than any search and destroy operation they’ve ever done. The terrorists have kidnapped an American Air Force officer, and getting close to them puts his life at risk. But Marine Force One plays by their own rules . . . and they play for keeps.
