G.I. Combat #18

A U.S. reconnaissance flight over Alaska discovers a hidden enemy rocket base, but the discovery costs the bomber crew their lives—and leaves a search-and-rescue patrol pinned down by communist forces on a remote mountain. When two G.I.s manage to slip past enemy defenses and uncover the full scope of the threat concealed in a crater, they realize the only way to stop a devastating sneak attack is to make an impossible choice. This tale of wartime courage and sacrifice shows what happens when soldiers stumble onto a secret that changes everything.

P.F.C. "Snooze" Sneller's habit of catching sleep at all the wrong times catches up with him when he accidentally naps through a transport flight to Dien Bien Phu—and wakes up already airborne over a war zone. When the plane is damaged by anti-aircraft fire and forced to land near the besieged French garrison, "Snooze" finds himself thrust into the thick of a massive Vietminh assault, far from the safety he'd been counting on. Armed and desperate, this reluctant soldier discovers he's got more fight in him than he ever expected when thousands of rebels close in on the fortress walls.

A soldier and his squad face enemy guerrillas dug in on a ridge near an old Japanese bomb left behind years before—until he decides to turn that dormant weapon into an improvised tool of warfare. With enemy fire closing in and time running out, he races against the clock to reset the bomb's mechanism and pray he can escape before it detonates. "Bomb Fury" is a tense tale of desperation and ingenuity under fire, where one G.I.'s knowledge becomes the only chance his unit has to survive.
