☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe main story "The New Breed" depicts a Marine combat operation where soldiers engage enemy forces, with one soldier urging his comrades into battle. A secondary story titled "Trapped" recounts the autobiography of Dr. Hans Killmer, a German biochemist born in Berlin in 1910 whose father worked for the famous bio-chemist Dr. Ludwig Killmer; Killmer describes his escape from Nazi Germany, his forced service on the German naval raider Blitzer, and his mission to destroy Allied shipping. The narrative continues with military dialogue involving Captain Burke, Lieutenant Nolton, and Sergeant discussing a tank engagement and a Bazooka team attack, with orders given to report back to Captain Burke.
During the Korean War, Sgt. Dizzy Richter and his reconnaissance squad push into the village of Diran-ri and capture a Chinese Communist colonel who claims to possess vital intelligence about enemy plans—but their prisoner reveals that a CCF assassin is lurking in town, tasked with silencing him before he can talk. With mortar fire raining down and danger closing in from every direction, Richter must keep the colonel alive long enough for intelligence officers to arrive and extract him to safety.
A hotshot Marine pilot learns a harsh lesson when enemy fire brings his Corsair down behind Communist lines during a ground-support mission. As he waits by the wreckage for rescue, Charlie Kasden discovers that the enemy has plans of their own—but the full force of American artillery and air power has other ideas about what happens next. This is a tense tale of survival, firepower, and the teamwork that brings a downed flyer home.
Captain Jimbo Smith is captured by Japanese forces during the brutal fighting at Guadalcanal, and when his fellow Marines learn the enemy plans to use truth serums to extract classified information from him, Corporal Ellis and Lieutenant Rezik launch a desperate rescue mission across enemy territory. With the help of a local guide and some timely air support, the Marines fight to breach a Japanese-held village and free not only their captain but all the prisoners held there before they can be forced to talk. It's a tense race against time in the jungle darkness, where one mistake could cost them everything.
Hobart M. Quine, a celebrated Marine fighter pilot and decorated war hero, returns home from World War II to reconnect with his wife and daughter Ellen—only to disapprove when his daughter falls for 1st Lieutenant T.L. Nolton, a young officer under his command. When Quine uses his rank to separate the couple, Nolton finds himself shipped to Korea in 1950, where he must prove himself as a combat leader during the fierce fighting around Pusan, all while haunted by the distance Quine has forced between him and Ellen. The question becomes whether Nolton's actions in battle will earn him the respect—and the future—that Quine's opposition has threatened to deny him.
