Contains 3 stories
Operation Missile
8 pp · War

Capt. Jay Rand, Lieut. Cort Steavens, and Sgt. Al Prince are three specially qualified soldiers handpicked for a covert operation: to infiltrate a Russian ICBM installation on a Caribbean island and destroy it from within. Parachuted into hostile territory and outfitted with forged Russian credentials and uniforms, the trio must pose as a Soviet inspection team to gain access to the heavily guarded site. With only thirty minutes to plant explosives and escape before detonation, these three men race against time in one of the most dangerous assignments of the Cold War era.

Forbidden Truce
6 pp · War

In a brutal World War II battle for a small French town, Sergeant Lansbury must hold the line against a massive Nazi counterattack while his commanding officer, Lt. Col. Weems, lies wounded—and as the fighting reaches a fever pitch, Lansbury makes a desperate decision that challenges everything his hard-nosed outfit believes in. Faced with mounting casualties on both sides, he reaches across the chaos to strike an unexpected accord with a German NCO, but such mercy comes at a cost in a war where weakness is unforgivable.

The Big Half Inch
9 pp · War

Pfc. Elmer Willis Delflower is a hulking six-foot-five-and-a-half-inch soldier whose towering frame makes him a natural target for ribbing back home—but when his unit ships out to Korea, his size and sharpshooter's eye prove invaluable in combat. Assigned a critical reconnaissance mission behind enemy lines, Elmer and his squad must navigate treacherous terrain to locate a crucial Communist supply route. With tension mounting both from the enemy and from within his own ranks, Elmer discovers that in war, a man's worth has nothing to do with how he measures up.
