Richard Diamond, USMC - Paperback

by Edward F. Koehler (Author)

Lieutenant Richard Diamond is riding high. His career is solid in Quantico, Virginia, he can fish in the creek behind is cabin just outside DC, he's up for a promotion, and he's dating a beautiful woman.

Little does he know a new assignment will plunge him body, mind, and spirit into the Iraqi desert. The assignment seems easy enough: deliver night vision goggles and laser targeting computers to SEAL Team One. More like a babysitting job, he thinks.

Wrong. As the delivery gets underway, Richard and SEAL Team One come under heavy fire. Evading the enemy, they become deeply embroiled in shock and awe as the Iraq War of 2003 gets underway. Two days in, Richard and his team are called off the dangerous forward targeting mission and sent to track down the disposition of WMDs-Weapons of Mass Destruction. How they escape a column of advancing Iraqi Army Guard will have you turning pages as fast as you can read.

Based on real incidences and real people, Richard Diamond, USMC drops you into the middle of the action, right alongside SEAL Team One and the rapid domination strategy the US launched to eventually bring down Saddam Hussein.

Richard Diamond, USMC, is the first in a series of fast-paced adventure novels.
