Danny Danger

Private eye Danny Danger gets the call every soldier dreads—recalled from his detective work to active duty as a Captain in Military Intelligence, dispatched to Korea to solve the mystery of enemy jets that keep appearing despite destroyed airfields. Assigned to locate a secret Red airbase hidden near the front lines, Danger leads a patrol deep into enemy territory on a dangerous mission that will test both his detective skills and his nerve in ways his racketeering cases never could.

Operation Fear
3 pp · War
Sergeant Joe Kirby

Sergeant Joe Kirby takes a group of new recruits on a dangerous nighttime mission behind enemy lines, determined to prove that courage comes from within rather than from weaponry. When one anxious soldier volunteers to capture an enemy soldier despite his fears, Kirby secretly removes the bullets from his gun to teach him a hard lesson about the power of the mind over combat anxiety. Through this unconventional training exercise, Kirby shows his men that real courage isn't about firepower—it's about conquering fear itself.

Daring free-lancer Typhoon Tyler and his mechanic pal Charlie put aside their treasure-hunting days to join the fight against Communist aggression in the Far East—but their noble intentions are immediately tested when an enemy pilot shoots down their vessel. Rescued by the U.S. Navy and reassigned to combat operations, Typhoon volunteers for a suicide mission to infiltrate a Huk-held airbase and cripple the stolen American jets threatening the region. With Charlie backing him up from the skies, Typhoon must rely on cunning and guts to survive the most perilous adventure of his life.

One Man Army...Dexter Clemens
1 pp · Non-Fiction, War

During the Battle of New Orleans in 1815, young militiaman Dexter Clemens witnesses his comrades retreating under fierce British assault and refuses to fall back—instead charging forward into the enemy line. His fearless stand inspires the American forces to rally and counterattack, turning the tide of battle on the right bank of the Mississippi River. A true one-man army in spirit and action, Clemens's sacrifice becomes one of the war's most pivotal yet unsung moments.
