The Korean War has started up and Cpt. Craig Lowell is called back to active duty as a tank commander. Through several misadventures, he eventually winds up a major at the age of 25 (realisticly impossible in today's Army). Meanwhile Capt. Felter is advancing nicely in his chosen feild, working as the Army's liaison to the CIA. Capt. MacMillian is being shoveled around as a great war hero, and no one wants him to get hurt, so this is very irritating to a war hungry soldier. It has great action, from early tank defensives, to the Task Force Lowell, to the black ops mission at the end that puts Felter in mortal danger.
