Everybody's War
6 pp · War

In the bombed-out ruins of a Korean town, PFC. Larry Walker and his fellow soldiers face a harrowing assault—artillery, enemy fire, and the brutal reality that war doesn't discriminate. When his partner makes the ultimate sacrifice, Walker's bitter resentment about privilege and duty is shattered, forcing him to reckon with what it truly means to fight.

Change of Mind
6 pp · War

Captain Russ Parker's sole focus is getting rotated home after one final mission through MIG Alley—until his bomber is hit and he's forced to bail out over enemy territory. Stranded behind enemy lines, Russ relies on a brave Korean boy named Kang and his father to guide him back to American forces, an experience that reshapes everything he thought mattered.

Fix Bayonets!
6 pp · War

PFC Nick Lawton never saw the point in bayonet drill back in the States—convinced that modern warfare had left such close-quarters fighting behind—but when a Korean village erupts with enemy soldiers and his rifle runs dry, he discovers just how wrong he was. With no time to reload and nowhere left to run, Lawton must face down a veteran enemy soldier in a brutal hand-to-hand struggle, his neglected training suddenly very much alive or dead.

The One-Man Navy
6 pp · War

Andy Peterson, a Petty Officer Second Class, volunteers for a solo mission to destroy a Red shipyard on Chinpo Island off the Korean coast—a job no official strategy will authorize. Armed with demolition expertise from his Seabee days and knowledge of the island's currents, Peterson infiltrates the heavily guarded facility under cover of darkness to sabotage the enemy's torpedo boats and fuel supplies. This gripping 1952 war tale follows his perilous night of one-man combat against overwhelming odds, testing whether ingenuity and courage can succeed where caution says no.
