comment
The Guardians is a sixteen book series mostly written by Victor Milan (under the pen name Richard Austin)note the final two books are written by a different unnamed author set After the End of a devastating nuclear war in the USA in the 1980s. Four elite soldiers, one from each branch of the US military were selected to be "The Guardians", an elite Special Forces team answerable only to the President. After the war, they were charged with getting the President to safety then starting the rebuilding of the country by seeking out the elements of the top secret "Blueprint for Renewal" plan.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A good overview of the series can be found here. Beware spoilers!Books in the series The Guardians (1985) Trial by Fire (1985) Thunder of Hell (1985) Night of the Phoenix (1985) Armageddon Run (1986) War Zone (1986) Brute Force (1987) Desolation Road (1987) Vengeance Day (1987) Freedom Fight (1987) Valley of the Gods (1988) The Plague Years (1988) Devil's Deal (1989) Death from Above (1990) Snake Eyes (1990) Death Charge (1991)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The Guardians William McKay - US Marine and Special Forces leader of The Guardians. The Big Guy and The Hero - enjoys kicking ass and taking names and the company of the ladies. Said to look a lot like Jim McMahon though not quite as pretty. Big enough to pack an M60 full dress machine gun as a personal weapon. Casey Wilson - Ace Pilot from the US Air Force, Badass Driver and Friendly Sniper. The most laid back and loose of The Guardians. Sam Sloan - US Navy Commander and survivor of an Exocet missile attack on his ship. A Southern Gentleman, nevertheless is still capable of beating a man to death with his bare hands. Tom Rogers - The Stoic and The Medic of The Guardians and US Army Special Forces veteran. Quiet and unassuming he nevertheless is one of the few people even McKay would be loath to take on.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Always Someone Better: "The Cowboy" to McKay. During their epic face off, McKay was losing the fight and came very close to having his back broken - if he hadn't managed to reach his combat knife and stab "The Cowboy" then he would have died.

The Dreaded: "The Cowboy" is one of the few people in the world who can make The Guardians pause, causing even The Stoic Tom Rogers lose his cool when he finds out he's in the vicinity. He lives up to his reputation, raping a woman to death for kicks and nearly killing McKay in a hand to hand fight.

Awesome, but Impractical
 The Guardians (Victor Milan) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Using an M60 full dress machine gun as a personal weapon is borderline Awesome, but Impractical. In one sequence McKay is trying to quickly switch targets and as he tries to haul the M60's mass around to bear internally debates whether it would be quicker to just drop the gun and pull his sidearm instead.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 The Guardians (Victor Milan) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: McKay struggles to keep his pace up on a dismounted operation after spending several weeks mostly travelling in the Guardian's armoured car, noting to himself that it's hard to keep your fitness levels high when you spend most of the day just sitting on your ass. After a particularly gruelling mission, The Guardians spend a couple of days literally just sleeping, only waking up to eat and relieve themselves, as they recover from their ordeal. Going up against a modern tank in an armored car is borderline suicidal. The Guardians' Super Commando armored car is destroyed and Casey is almost killed. Standard Kevlar body armor won't stop assault rifle rounds as one character finds out to his cost. The reason The Guardians use an armored car, rather than a full dress Main Battle Tank, is that tracked vehicles are a "bitch to maintain in the field" as McKay bluntly puts it, drink fuel like it's going out of fashion, require serious logistical backup to be effective that's just not available and are just impractical and overpowered for the types of missions The Guardians undertake. Armored cars are also much faster on road and The Guardians often have to travel long distances to get to their next assignment. Using an M60 full dress machine gun as a personal weapon is borderline Awesome, but Impractical. In one sequence McKay is trying to quickly switch targets and as he tries to haul the M60's mass around to bear internally debates whether it would be quicker to just drop the gun and pull his sidearm instead. The Guardians ally with other former units of the US Military on occasion. These always suffer far more casualties as they simply aren't trained or experienced enough to handle themselves as well as The Guardians do in the type of high intensity missions they undertake.

Worthy Opponent: Ivan Vesensky, former KGB operative and right hand to Maximov. Even though they are opponents and have tried to kill each other on occasion, both he and The Guardians have a lot of respect for each other's skills, abilities and tenacity. Subverted with "The Cowboy" who is loathed by both McKay and Rogers as a cruel and depraved monster.

 The Guardians (Victor Milan) / int_541c0283
comment
Jumping the Shark: The final two books were written by a different (unnamed) author to Milan - one veers wildly into James Bond super-villain territory and the other just doesn't make sense. Snake Eyes has a plot with an LSD addled cult leader threatening the world with massive earthquakes caused by explosives placed in fault lines - earlier books had shown advanced technology but it was believable extrapolation based on current science. Death Charge has one of The Guardians turned invisible after an experiment goes awry, massive Character Derailment for a major character, a somehow miraculously intact Hawaii that escaped the war unscathed, and idiot balls being flung around like confetti. Small wonder the series ended here.

Berserk Button: Calling Rogers a member of the "Special Services". The correct term is "Special Forces", "Special Services" refers to soldiers who fill certain specialised support roles - as Rogers puts it, "barbers and bandsmen". For Wilson, finding out members of the local FSE garrison had raped a woman he'd been romantically involved with. During a later infiltration of their base, Wilson cold bloodedly shoots dead a soldier who might been going for a weapon, killing his bunkmate above him in the process without hesitation.

Elites Are More Glamorous: Both McKay and Rogers are members of their branches respective Special Forces at the start of the series. Wilson and Sloan don't technically qualify, but Wilson is a rare single mission ace, having shot down five enemy planes in a single engagement and Sloan successfully took command of a ship and ensured it's survival after the entire officer command complement were killed by a missile strike.

Know When to Fold 'Em: McKay is scouting out a possible base of operations for The Guardians to use, only to find it's occupied by a particularly vicious and heavily armed (including anti-tank weaponry) gang, hundreds strong, who'd recently burned a young boy to death for trying to sneak into the compound and had his charred body on display as a warning. While McKay is tempted to call up Mobile One and blow away a few dozen assholes with it's .50 machine gun and grenade launcher, he knows it won't actually achieve anything useful and the risk of getting themselves killed and/or Mobile One destroyed is not worth it.

While You Were in Diapers: McKay has a disagreement with another character and is riled up enough to call him a "traitor" out of earshot (or so he thinks). Said character tells McKay after they manage to resolve the dispute that he served as a Marine in The Korean War, before McKay was even born, and lost the lower half of one leg to a bullet wound and frostbite at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir and McKay should think twice before slinging the word "traitor" around. McKay is suitably abashed.
