About this ebook

After playing cat and mouse in Iraq to gain crucial intelligence, a group of Marines think they are on their way home, but their war isn’t over.

August, 1990—30,000 Iraqi troops have invaded Kuwait and are in a position to influence nearly half of the world’s oil supply. The United Nations condemns the aggression, but it is clear that only military intervention will displace Saddam Hussein.

Captain Joseph “Quarry” Samuels and the Marines of Scout Platoon, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Division are tasked with discovering the strength and deployment of Iraqi troops. Quarry and his scouts are soon engaged in a game of cat and mouse with the 10,000-strong 108th Iraqi Armored Division. Operating behind enemy lines, they put themselves squarely in danger to collect the intelligence necessary to launch military operations. When hostilities end, with the greatest one-sided military victory of all time, the Marines deserve to be on their way home. However, Quarry remains in Kuwait to continue the deadly game with an old nemesis, but this time with a new ally on his side . . .

Praise for Marine Scouts

“Johnston . . . draws on his twenty-eight years of service for his engrossing debut, a minutely detailed, realistic tale of one unit’s actions during Operation Desert Storm. . . . By incorporating such things as call signs and entire briefings, Johnston immerses the reader into the ongoing, swiftly moving military operations. . . . Military action fans will look forward to more from this talented author.” —Publishers Weekly

“A compulsively riveting novel of war and intrigue from cover to cover, Marine Scouts by Chuck Johnston is the stuff of which blockbuster movies are made.” —Midwest Book Review
