Mighty Hunter

8 pp · War

The Enemies

6 pp · War

S/SGT. Nick Rogano knows a Nazi officer is hiding somewhere in the occupied French town, a survivor of campaigns from North Africa to St. Lô who's eluded death countless times—but when the rest of the battalion pulls out, leaving Rogano alone to hold the position, the German finally makes his move. Two soldiers who've seen too much killing meet across a rifle sight, and in their brief confrontation, something unexpected emerges beneath the uniform and the enemy insignia.

Over There 1917

3 pp · War

American volunteers answered the call to fight in World War I, but the harsh realities of trench warfare and a new kind of combat proved far more brutal than most expected. "Over There 1917" captures the moral weight soldiers faced as they grappled with duty, the horrors of modern warfare, and doubts about the cause they'd been sent to defend.
