Carrier #15

by Keith Douglass

Hostilities between Greece and the breakaway republic of Macedonia threaten to explode into open war after a careless Greek pilot accidentally downs a news chopper in a hotly disputed region. Vice Admiral "Tombstone" Magruder and Carrier Battle Group Fourteen are sent in to maintain the peace between the longtime antagonists. But what no one knows is that a rogue Greek general actually ordered the chopper to be downed. For he has personally decided to end the conflict once and for all - no matter how many lives it costs...

#15 in the Carrier series. By now the original author is gone and his name is being used as a house name for various authors. This entry doesn't have the appeal of earlier volumes but the series hasn't yet hit the dung heap.

Carrier series - Recorded - Adm Magruder is sent to Greece as an advisor to the UN forces led by a Greek general trying to suppress Macedonian rebels. The Greek has a news copter downed and then has his own jets shot down and accuses Americans. Jets from the carrier Jefferson rise to the challenge.

A Tom Clancy-esque story about a fictional encounter between the US and Greece over Macedonia. Part of it involves a US flight crewman who refuses to put on a UN uniform. Part of it involves a female reporter for a major international cable network. Part of involves an admiral who acts as a "troubleshooter". Much of it set on an aircraft carrier.
