The Proud. The Return of the Marines, #2

In the near future, the Marines have been brought to full status after budget cuts had relegated them to guarding embassies and the White House.  Newly commissioned 2dLt Anthony Niimoto, a hero of the embassy takeover in New Delhi, is with the first Marine battalion to get back into the deployment cycle.  Assigned to anti-piracy, this is supposed to be a dull deployment.  But when a US ship is seized by Somali pirates, it's First Platoon, K 3/6 at the tip of the spear.  With SSgt Davidson, an ex-Ranger who returns to his Marine roots, the two of them must lead their platoon into harm's way, ever conscious of Black Hawk Down, the Battle of Mogadishu.
Was Tony Niimoto a one-shot wonder in New Delhi, or does he really have what it takes to be a leader of Marines? (Although a stand-alone book in its own right, this is Book 2 of The Return of the Marines series.)(Note:  there is a glossary of military acronyms at the end of the book for those not familiar with them)
