This book is a small record of how things were done in a particular time period in the Marine Corps training history. In order to win, you have to put the best team together for that period or era. In the '60s, the techniques and tactics worked for the events that were going on at that time. What didn't work were the procedures we had to follow that were given to us by the politicians who knew nothing about the work we had to do. I'm sure they've changed in the last sixty years and will continue to evolve until they are no longer needed. I mean no disrespect to my beloved corps then, now, or in the future. If I were to criticize their procedures then and now, I would say that back then they took the so-called bad boys and now they want you with no flaws so that they don't have to waste time taking the errant behavior out of the individual in order to put their wants and needs and desires into him. They don't want to do the heavy lifting anymore. We haven't won a war since the middle forties, so I wouldn't know, but I've been told by people who were there that, in the end, it is the individual marine with a rifle and fixed bayonet who closes with and kills his enemy. That takes a bad boy who is used to doing the heavy lifting and the dirty work, but we have special units in almost every branch of the service that are trained specifically to do the heavy lifting and the dirty work. Semper Fi.
U.S.M.C. Lieutenant Zachary Taylor Primrose has put in for a third tour in Vietnam while his wife, Rhonda, is touring the Far East. Colonel Easy offers him a deal. He can have the tour, but only if he accepts a dangerous and illegal clandestine mission to locate a pair of F-4s equipped with top secret new technology, technology that at all costs, must not fall into enemy hands. The F4s have vanished into thin air, presumed crashed, the pilots presumed dead. Pulling together his old team of misfits-Tracker Heto, Tom Toms and his shamans, explosives expert T.C. (Two Case) Champion, along with three brown-water sailors and a former office pinky, and with Rhonda running the control center from the Dragonfly Bar and Hotel in Bangkok, the team sets off into unknown jungle territory, where Primrose and Colonel Easy discover more than they bargained for.

USMC Sergeant Zachary Taylor Primrose is a magnet for misfits, just the man Major Easy needs to put together a clandestine group of crazies willing to sneak across the border into Laos, locate a chemical and biological warfare operation hidden in the jungle, and take it out.What they discover on an old French colonial plantation turns out to be a magnitude more dangerous than anyone had anticipated. Up against the Russians, the Chinese, and the North Vietnamese Army, the chase is on. Only superior bravery, brains, teamwork, and the ability to improvise in the face of unimaginable evil can save the day. And there's no backup.

"The Corps was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'd like to give back and serve my country again," explains former Marine corporal, Zachary Taylor Primrose, to the recruiting officer. But Primrose has a hidden agenda: to find out what happened to a trio of musicians, including his wife, Rhonda, who disappeared on a USO tour near the border of Laos. There hasn't been a concerted effort to rescue the group, and in his gut, he knows there's more to this than just a routine kidnapping.Can Primrose circumvent the bureaucracy and secretly put together a clandestine team of misfits, including Heto, an Okinawan tracker; Tom Toms, a Native American who listens to his shamans, and T.C. Champion, an explosives expert currently in the brig for blowing up a Saigon whorehouse. Can they save the lives of three Americans before it's too late?

The Vietnam War long over, Zachary Taylor Primrose and his former comrade in arms, Patrick Thomas Knight have started their own PI firm in Honolulu. When Sergeant T.J. DeSoto, U.S.M.C., disappears in the Middle East, his wealthy grandmother becomes Special Island Investigations' first client. Primrose puts together his old team from 'Nam: Toms, McPotts, and Slipps, and with the unofficial help of Colonel Easy, they manage to get into Iraq only days before war breaks out.Colonel Easy has a favor to ask in return for his help: a supposedly "piece-of-cake" mission to root out a cell of international terrorists before the war starts. The non-stop action takes the recommissioned team, along with Sergeant DeSoto, from Iraq to Syria, Lebanon, Morocco, and the Indian Ocean on the trail of international intrigue on a bigger scale than they had could ever have imagined.
