Even as a commander with the Sixth Fleet in the Med is making secret pacts with Arab terrrorists, those guerillas are preparing a massive strike meant to throw the world into another massive war. As William Kendall seeks to find the traitor, the Special Unit prepares to take on the terrorists.
William Kendall is the chief Troubleshooter for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
As such this experienced Colonel is given operational control over a group of highly trained officers, dubbed the Special Unit. The purpose for this highly secret unit is to strike at the enemies of the country, foreign or domestic.
The field leader of these men, and nearly warranting a co-billing, is Kendall’s friend, Lt. Colonel Aaron Eisenberg. Together they decide which missions are to be taken and then lead them. At times it is Eisenberg in the field while at times it is both Kendall and Eisenberg. Eisenberg is a highly capable officer who might have made full colonel if he didn’t have a habit of baiting superiors, like the Chairman of the JCS.
Kendall does not have such a problem. By no means a yes-man, Kendall nevertheless is willing to hold his tongue long enough to make what he said less biting. But diplomacy flies out the window when his path is hampered by bureaucracy or pass-the-buck mentality.
