With the Marines on the Battlefronts of the World #1

Monty Hall leads a squad of Marines behind enemy lines to infiltrate a holy monastery that enemy forces have seized and converted into an observation post—with captive monks held inside. Using his knowledge of Eastern temple traditions and some resourceful fieldcraft, Hall devises a daring solo plan to infiltrate the pagoda and turn the enemy's own superstitions against them. When dawn breaks and the chaos unfolds, his Marines storm in to liberate the monks and capture the enemy soldiers.

Two fighting men, Quig and Beals, find themselves stripped of their weapons and reassigned as Marine corpsmen—much to their frustration—when their unit is rushed to the front to repel an enemy breakthrough. As casualties mount and the battle rages, the two rivals discover that saving lives demands a courage every bit as real as combat, and that sometimes the truest measure of a Marine isn't found on the battlefield.

Tex, a seasoned Marine ready for rotation, is assigned to guide Sergeant Braga and his newly arrived replacement troops through a training patrol in hostile territory—but Braga's combat experience and hardheaded confidence clash immediately with Tex's orders to keep the group away from actual enemy contact. When the exercise turns dangerously real and South Korean forces engage them, Tex and Braga must work together to bring the inexperienced soldiers through their baptism by fire and prove they're ready for the real war ahead.
