When tensions rise between Greece and the breakaway republic of Macedonia, Tombstone Magruder and Carrier Battle Group Fourteen are sent to maintain the peace--but wind up facing a rogue Greek officer who has decided to end the conflict with open war.
Boundary and historical disputes between the Greeks and Macedonians become war when the Greek general decides to unite the two under Greek rule forever. The UN decides to back Greece, and gives control of its forces to the general. The general decides to use this force to his advantage. The US is hesitant to join the Greek, and comes under pressure from the rest of the UN. The situation unfolds into a disaster for the Americans. The book had a great plot, and it was written well. The idea was fantastic. It didn't have as much description about battles as in the first ten or so, but you could still tell what was going on. Some ideas are abandoned, such as Sarah Wexler the Ambassador and her conflict with T'ing the ambassador from China. The fights and battles aren't as spectacular as usual in the series. There were a few mistakes in the writing that could really throw you off, but if you pay attention closely enough, you'll understand the confusing parts. Overall, it was a good book.
