Buddies of the U.S. Army #1

When Mike McClusky and Jon Wendall are both drafted into the U.S. Army during the Korean conflict, these two rough-and-tumble civilian brawlers discover they're about to share the same barracks—and immediately can't stop fighting each other. As basic training wears on and the two hotheads somehow become something like partners, they get their first pass into town and stumble onto a plot that goes far deeper than the usual trouble two soldiers find on leave.

In Korea, Mike McClusky and Jon Wendall are rival soldiers who both fall hard for Lieutenant Betty Noren, a medic—and when she wishes aloud for Korean souvenirs to impress folks back home, the two friends turn fierce competitors, sneaking behind enemy lines to hunt for trinkets and trophies. What starts as a souped-up treasure hunt spirals into chaos when they capture a high-ranking enemy officer, commandeer a tank, and accidentally find themselves steering a stolen war machine straight into the thick of battle.

Mike McClusky and Jon Wendall, two Army buddies on leave in Tokyo, get roped into helping a woman named Neronna track down her estranged sweetheart Sumi Chan, who's fallen in with a dangerous Red underground movement—only to stumble onto a sinister assassination plot that puts them face-to-face with a ruthless organization and its mysterious leader, Madam Sa Choon. As the stakes escalate from romantic rescue mission to matter of life and death, the two soldiers find themselves caught between a lethal trap and an impossible choice that could change everything for Sumi and his family. Can Mike and Jon survive long enough to expose the truth, or will the underground's deadly game claim them as its latest victims?
