First in the author's seven-volume series The Corps, SEMPER FI sets the stage for WW II. It is the '30s, and we meet the old corps, as it existed between WW I and WW II -- on station in Shanghai, at Quantico, in Washington, all nicely contrasted with civilian life stateside.

From Pearl Harbor to Midway, from the Philippines to the South Pacific, the soldiers of the Corps unite in a glorious battle of courage and honor. Call to Arms is their story--a story of lovers and fighters, leaders and heroes, America's proudest Marines. From the multimillion-copy author of the B rotherhood of War saga.

COUNTERATTACK, the third book in the series, highlights America's first bold counterstrike against the Japanese: Guadalcanal. Bitterly resisted by Japanese troops, the U.S. Marines fought a close, bloody and gruelling battle to its successful conclusion.

Book Four in the continuing saga of The Corps, from the author of Counterattack which became an immediate national bestseller in hardcover. "The Corps combines the best elements of military history and the war story", wrote Publishers Weekly, "the telling detail and political tangle of one mated to the energy and sweep of the other". Here is a story of one of the bloodiest conflicts of the Pacific, the epic struggle for Guadalcanal.

Two marines trapped on a small Coastwatcher island while reporting on Japanese air activity must rely for their survival on the special rescue team that has been assembled to save them.

While a captain leads his squadron into the fiercest air battles of the Pacific, a news correspondent learns more about combat than he bargained for and a Marine embarks on a top-secret mission.

Refusing to surrender despite the odds against the American forces in 1942, a renegade Army officer organizes a resistance force while a Marine leads his team on a mission through the heart of enemy territory.
