Captain Steve Savage arrives on the island of Iko Tama to build a weather station for the U.S. military, but encounters hostile and indifferent indigenous elements that prove far more dangerous than anticipated. When American signal corps units become stuck on the uncharted island, Steve Savage must devise a strategy to overcome Colonel Kobari's entrenched defensive position at the center of a fortified hill. The soldiers plan a daring assault involving a parachute landing and coordinated ground attack to break through Kobari's underground gun emplacements and achieve victory.

Captain Steve Savage

When a mysterious Russian jet fighter—heavily armored, lightning-fast, and seemingly unstoppable—begins wreaking havoc over Korean skies, Captain Steve Savage and his squadron are tasked with the impossible: capture it intact so U.S. technicians can unlock its secrets. After failed attempts to lure the deadly craft across friendly lines, Savage devises a bold plan involving paratroopers and a coordinated assault on an enemy airstrip deep behind hostile territory. Now, with Koto Air Base under American control, the real work begins—and the Red Army is converging to stop him.

Captain Steve Savage

Captain Steve Savage and his Signal Corps team arrive at the uncharted island of Iko Tama to build a weather station—only to discover they're not alone. A hidden Japanese military unit, led by the defiant Colonel Kobari, has been stranded on the island for twelve years, completely unaware that World War II ended a decade ago. Forced into an unexpected confrontation, Savage must find a way to convince Kobari that the war is truly over before both sides are destroyed in a tragic misunderstanding.

Death Ridge!
6 pp · War

During the Korean War, a U.S. Marine Captain devises a daring plan to capture the heavily fortified Hill 38—a stronghold so well-defended that frontal assaults have failed repeatedly. He proposes a bold infiltration: parachute onto the hill with a small team under cover of a bombing raid, then hit the enemy's pillboxes from the outside while the main force attacks below. When the plan goes sideways and the captain and his remaining men are trapped inside the enemy's underground complex with no ammunition left, they discover an unexpected way to turn the tide and reclaim the hill.
