Killer Tank
7 pp · War

During the Korean War, Major Vic Storm and his U.S. Tank Commandos face a deadly new threat—a heavily armored Soviet tank working in perfect coordination with enemy MiG jets to devastate U.N. positions. Storm devises a clever trap, modifying his tanks' cannons and positioning his forces to catch the enemy combination off-guard. When a massive Communist assault threatens to overwhelm the line, Storm races to intercept the killer tank before it can destroy a vital rocket site—setting up a desperate tank-on-tank showdown high above the battlefield.

Fisherman's Lark
1 pp · Humor, Anthropomorphic-Funny Animals

Merry Mouse takes a fishing trip with his friend Louie, who boasts about his natural talent for catching fish—while Merry keeps hauling in nothing but rubber boots, old tires, and other junk from the water. When a junk dealer offers to buy everything Merry's pulled up, the tables turn in the most unexpected way.

Trap of Steel
6 pp · War

Major Vic Storm and his tank unit are puzzled when they find an empty hill fortress and a mysteriously silent village—until the sharp-eyed commander realizes the enemy has set an elaborate trap using hidden mirrors and false signals to mask their real position. Racing against time to uncover the secret, Vic discovers the hill itself is actually a rotating fortress packed with hidden guns and troops, designed to lure Allied forces into a deadly ambush. Now Storm must turn the tables on his enemies before their coordinated strike wipes out the entire advance position.

Robot Armada
6 pp · War

When the enemy deploys an unstoppable armada of radio-controlled robot tanks in Korea, Major Vic Storm must use ingenuity and a revolutionary new tank to counter the threat. Storm discovers the secret to neutralizing the mechanical invaders and races to stop them before they breach a vital hydroelectric dam. It's a clash of man versus machine in this Korean War tale that proves American innovation can outmatch any enemy weapon.

Death Target
6 pp · War

Davey Lockhart trades his quiet, bookish ways for combat when he enlists in the Marines and finds himself deployed to Korea with his unit. When a surprise enemy counter-attack traps his squad on a hill with no way out except by helicopter, Davey's gift for building and problem-solving becomes their only hope for survival.
