Playing Nice Director

Bandmaster

Carrier #25

Mistaking an Idaho farmer for a militia leader, the FBI raids the suspected man’s home—resulting in the deaths of the entire family, including two children. Fearful of reprisals from real militia groups, the president assigns Tombstone Magruder’s civilian law enforcement agency to combat domestic terrorists as they appear. Even as the United States government prepares to defend its own soil from within, hostile nations outside America’s borders—Iraq and North Korea—believe they can advance invasions without US interference. But standing in their way is Carrier Battle Group 14, prepared to enforce the peace through any means necessary.
