☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains three military stories. "Feather Fight!" depicts soldiers Monty Hall and Tex engaged in combat against enemy aircraft while defending a snowy position. "Short Timer" by Staff Sergeant C.E.X. Houts, a Marine Corps Correspondent, follows Corporal DeSantis and his squad of Marines holding a hill in Korea under intense enemy fire and sniper attack, enduring freezing conditions while awaiting reinforcements and heavy weapons support. "Mabel and the Snorkel" features Monty and Tex at a proving ground where payroll thieves have stolen thousands of dollars from the safe, forcing the soldiers to pursue the criminals.
Monty, Tex, and Canarsie are assigned to the Shore Patrol at a European port to hunt down a sabotage ring that's stealing military equipment and supplies—and their suspicions land on Chuck Sheffield, a smooth-talking fellow who always seems to have money and intel in advance of their patrols. When they arrange a secret meeting with an undercover agent who's supposed to help crack the case, they find Chuck battered on the pier instead, clutching a torn uniform button that becomes the key to unraveling whether he's a criminal mastermind or something far more complicated.
Monty, Tex, and Canarsie are Marines holding a strategic hill when paratroopers arrive for relief—but one trooper lands in a tree right in the middle of enemy territory. With bullets flying and the paratrooper pinned down, the three Marines have to work together fast to get him out alive, leading to a rescue attempt that takes an unexpected turn when a certain soft item from Brooklyn becomes part of the solution.
Monty Hall and his fellow guards at Hydrogen City face a desperate race against time when a radioactive vial goes missing from a defense contractor's office—and they discover it's been accidentally carried off by an unsuspecting young woman named Helen Hunt. As the deadly material's effects begin to close in, Monty and his team must track down Helen and the vial before it falls into the wrong hands or time runs out.
When Monty, Tex, and Canarsie are caught in the crossfire of a payroll heist at a military proving ground, they accidentally grab the wrong truck—one carrying the Snorkel, a top-secret amphibious weapon that can travel through water as easily as land. Now saddled with classified equipment, a fortune in stolen cash, and military brass on their heels, the three Marines must outrun the thieves and prove they're not in on the job. It's a wild scramble across water and land where this experimental marvel just might be the only thing standing between them and the brig.
