Semper Fi - Hardcover Edition

The Philippines are overwhelmed by terrorism. The Guerrillas are winning the war in the hearts and minds of the people and mounting victories against the Army. Embattled, the Government calls upon America for assistance. The USMC and CIA are quickly sent in to help win the war. Daily, the war is being fought in villages, rice paddies and apartment buildings. Undermanned and hamstrung by restrictive rules set by the Filipino Government, US Forces must use every means in order to stop the tide of rising violence. Suddenly, Al Qaeda unleashes its secret weapon: a stealth warship. The vessel rapidly inflicts heavy losses as it randomly attacks Filipino and American targets. The situation becomes even more dramatic as Al Qaeda reveals their hostage: a US Marine Gunnery Sergeant. Desperate and facing insurmountable pressure, the Corps takes on a risky mission. Several men attempt to board and sabotage the vessel while trying to locate the captured soldier.
