American soldiers undertake a covert mission to probe Yugoslav military strength and prepare for a potential invasion, transporting fifty captured professors aboard a freighter while guards defend the ship. When Red commandos attack, the soldiers engage in combat to protect their cargo and prevent the enemy from radioing out a message. After successfully repelling the Yugoslav forces, the soldiers are rewarded with a two-week furlough in the French Riviera. Soldier Bill Critten is assigned a transfer and spends weeks waiting for it while stationed in the woods, eventually hearing mysterious voices in the night that he fears may be enemy forces.

Contains 4 stories
Commando Raid
9 pp · War

A furlough in the French Riviera turns into a desperate fight for survival when Platoon J stumbles onto a Communist takeover of the coastal town of Barcloche—and discovers enemy forces have seized fifty scientists from a local research laboratory. With the Reds controlling the town and holding their captives hostage, the G.I.s must fight their way through machine-gun nests and house-to-house combat to stop the enemy from escaping with their prisoners. It's a vacation that becomes a commando operation, as these war-tested soldiers are forced to think fast and fight harder than they bargained for.

One Man Invasion
6 pp · War

When Air Corps Captain Jed Norris' jet fighter fails over the Pacific near the Ito Islands, he bails out and finds himself stranded on Fojima—only to discover the island has been secretly occupied by Communist forces planning an invasion of Japan. Trapped and outnumbered, Norris must rely on an unlikely ally: Kee Mo, a reclusive Japanese writer who has withdrawn from the world but cannot stand by while tyranny takes hold. Together, they improvise a desperate defense against overwhelming odds, turning the tables on their captors in a battle neither expected to fight.

Border Ambush
7 pp · War

Lieutenant Terry's transport plane is shot down by Bulgarian forces over Yugoslav territory, forcing him and his men into a desperate fight for survival alongside local Yugoslav troops. When Major Dusoff attempts to cover up his blunder by lying to his own soldiers and ordering their destruction, Terry must rally both his American outfit and the disillusioned Bulgarian troops to turn the tide. It's a tight border skirmish where courage and quick thinking matter more than numbers.

Surprise Attack
6 pp · War

When Corporal Bill Critten finally gets the action he's been craving on garrison duty in West Germany, it comes in the form of desperate Americans fleeing kidnappers across the border—followed by a Red Army determined to recapture them. With only his small patrol against overwhelming numbers, Critten must rally his men and hold the line, discovering that sometimes the post you thought was boring is exactly where you're needed most.
