Contains 4 stories
The Fires of War
9 pp · War

During the bitter fighting in Korea, soldiers of the 7th Infantry must assault two heavily fortified hills—Big Horn and Little Horn—held by entrenched Chinese forces, enduring a punishing artillery barrage and close-quarters combat to claim the ridge positions. As a young G.I. named Regis joins the brutal assault, he discovers what it truly means to be a soldier under fire, facing waves of enemy counterattacks and the grim reality that taking one objective only means preparing for the next. Written with the gritty detail of actual Korean War operations, "The Fires of War" captures the relentless cycle of advance, dig in, and hold—one more hill, always one more hill.

The Mystery of No Man's Land
6 pp · War

Lt. John Grange and his men are tasked with escorting a photographer named Dent to document the Communist infiltrations plaguing the Pakistani border—but when Dent vanishes into No Man's Land, Grange launches a desperate search that uncovers far more than a missing person. As his squad hunts through ambushes and interrogates captured enemy soldiers, the truth behind Dent's disappearance emerges in a way no one expected. This war story pulls the curtain back on Cold War tension in Kashmir with genuine stakes and a twist that reframes everything the soldiers thought they were fighting.

Grudge Patrol
7 pp · War

PFC. Ed Amos, a quiet company clerk and beetle enthusiast, discovers that a Communist patrol has killed his Korean friends at a nearby farm—and volunteers to track them down. What starts as a personal vendetta turns into a fierce firefight that transforms the mild-mannered clerk into a one-man fighting force, taking on enemy patrols with ferocity that surprises even his seasoned sergeant.

The A-Gun Hijackers
6 pp · War

Ed Mallet is a green recruit struggling to find his place with an indifferent unit in West Germany, until Communist forces cross the border intent on hijacking a newly arrived atomic cannon. When his platoon encounters the enemy ambush, Ed seizes the chance to prove himself by going after intelligence—taking on a dangerous solo mission to capture a prisoner and learn the Reds' true objective before the main convoy walks into a trap.
