Contains 4 stories
Steady Eddie
6 pp · War

During the Korean War, Lieutenant Smithers earns his nickname "Steady Eddie" when he's called in to defuse booby traps that have turned a captured village into a lethal minefield—traps designed by the enemy to exploit a soldier's natural instincts. As he methodically works to neutralize each hidden device, his nerves are tested to their limit, revealing that even the coolest expert has his breaking point. It's a tense study of a man pushed to the edge of his composure in service to his unit.

The Big Blast
6 pp · War

A U.S. Army unit receives urgent orders to locate and destroy a massive enemy railroad gun that's been devastating American positions from behind Communist lines. Led by their lieutenant, the soldiers must navigate hostile territory, track down the weapon, and execute a dangerous mission while fighting off relentless counterattacks. It's a tense race against time where one mistake could mean the difference between a successful strike and getting cut off behind enemy lines.

Box-Kite Boys
6 pp · War

Captain Noel pilots a fragile reconnaissance plane over enemy territory in Korea, tasked with spotting artillery batteries while dodging relentless flak and enemy fighters. When his aircraft takes damage and his wingman is wounded, Noel must use his small plane's one advantage—maneuverability—to outthink the faster jets pursuing him and complete the mission. It's a tense aerial duel where a box-kite-like crate becomes the unlikely hero in a sky full of fire and fury.

Orders Are Orders
6 pp · War

Lieutenant Skip Sanders and Sergeant Tom Dean are ordered on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines to rescue Major Peters from a suspected plague-infested enemy dressing station—a task that seems almost like a cruel joke until they discover what true leadership really means. With the Major's broken legs slowing their escape and enemy forces closing in, the two soldiers must push through overwhelming odds to bring their officer home. It's a tense rescue under fire that changes how Skip and Tom see the meaning of rank and courage.
