Lieutenant Colonel

Federation Marine, Book 6

By: Jonathan P. Brazee

Narrated by: Sean Pratt

As a lieutenant colonel, Ryck is given command of the Second Battalion.

With the Marine Corps anxious to certify the resurfaced concept of integrated operations units, the battalion is thrown right into the fire.

With his new command, Ryck has the opportunity to prove his ability to be a true combat leader and not just as a warrior. But with that opportunity come the risk that he cannot handle the manager aspect of command: the logistics, training, maintenance, admin, and support aspects that allow every unit to maximize its combat potential.

A proven fighting Marine, Ryck still has to master every requirement of command—the tactical and the support—if he is going to keep his career alive in the Corps.

brought back memories of six years marine corps experience and events; interesting characters and story

Good story

This story reminds me of the time honored traditions and history that makes our military members proud of their service and remember the sacrifices of their fellow servicemen. I see how Rick, like many great leaders, feels responsible for the losses of those he commands. Sometimes it is hard to understand how one Soldier or Marine lives, while another dies. And this story shows one Marine’s journey through life. Great story.
