The Intruders by Stephen Coonts
4.0
Stephen Coonts finds a way to make peace interesting for Jake Grafton. After surviving Vietnam, Jake finds he doesn't really fit into the civilian world, throws a peacemonger through a plate glass window and gets assigned to teach Marines how to fly A-6s off an aircraft carrier as "punishment."
It's the height of the Cold War, so Jake and his Marines are constantly training for a war that may never come, and training is almost as dangerous as war. This book is a bit slow moving, with lots of inner monologue about what Jake wants to be, what will become of Callie, what the point of it is, etc. But there are some good action sequences, and Coonts keeps things moving.
