Yellow Peril in the Skies

9 pp · war

Captain Buck Vinson leads a daring raid on a flying saucer base after enemy forces unleash biological warfare from airborne saucers over the American West Coast. With a small team of Atlantic Commandos, he infiltrates the enemy’s defenses using deception, stealth, and relentless assault, facing off against relentless helicopter patrols and layered defensive rings. As the mission unfolds, the commandos push deeper into enemy territory, racing against time and overwhelming odds to disable the saucer base’s core.

Landing Under Fire

6 pp · war

In a tense reconnaissance mission during the Korean War, Lt. Frank Jones and his small team land on an enemy-held shore to locate three hidden, camouflaged artillery emplacements threatening an upcoming assault. Posing as locals with the help of a sympathetic old farmer, they navigate a dangerous countryside, uncovering one massive gun disguised as a barn and tracking down two more—only to face a sudden roadblock and a near-disastrous encounter with enemy patrols. As night falls and the submarine’s arrival looms, the men must stay hidden and outsmart a growing threat, knowing every mistake could cost them their lives.

Science Assaults the Death Sphere

7 pp · science fiction

In the third decade of the atomic age, Captain Wilding and his crew launch a daring mission to infiltrate the Death Sphere—a midget planet threatening Earth—only to discover its core harbors a hidden civilization and a deadly variable gravity pump. As they race to disable the device and evade capture by the planet’s ruthless inhabitants, they face electrically charged monsters, brutal interrogations, and a final, desperate escape through a collapsing shaft.

Camera Daredevils

8 pp · war

First Lieutenant Larry Robbins, a pilot reluctantly reassigned to a photo reconnaissance unit in Korea, finds himself the only man available to fly a damaged plane on a critical mission to photograph enemy positions. With the cameras malfunctioning on the first attempt and no other options, he takes off alone into enemy territory, determined to capture the vital images despite the plane’s poor condition and the growing danger. As he navigates the perilous return, evading patrols and improvising to protect the film, he must rely on stealth, luck, and a daring plan to get the evidence back to base.
