Contains 5 stories
7 Seconds to Hell
4 pp · war

When a soldier named Trask freezes during grenade training back home and accidentally kills his lieutenant, he carries that shame into combat in Korea—where his terrified squad mates won't trust him when it counts most. Facing an enemy assault on a ridge with only seven seconds to act, Trask must finally confront the paralysis that's haunted him since that fatal day on the range. "7 Seconds to Hell" is a brutal examination of fear, guilt, and the split-second choices that define a soldier's fate.

Recon Flight
5 pp · war

A reconnaissance pilot in a stripped-down P-38 races against deteriorating weather and German defenses to photograph a suspicious installation in Hamburg, knowing that clear pictures are the only thing standing between intelligence and a bombing run. Dodging flak and enemy fighters, the pilot fights to bring the film home—but the real mission only begins once the photographs are on the ground and need to be analyzed. "Recon Flight" shows that sometimes the toughest job in wartime isn't the one that looks hard from the ground.

Marine Sergeant
6 pp · war

Sergeant Clark drives his raw recruits relentlessly, filling them with Marine Corps discipline and pride—a hardened taskmaster who seems to care only about regulations and training. When his unit deploys to Korea, Clark's harsh methods are tested as a starving Korean boy enters their camp, and the sergeant's uncompromising enforcement of the rules clashes with his men's humanity in ways neither side expected. As enemy forces close in on an isolated outpost, the true meaning behind Clark's grueling training finally becomes clear.

Operation Rx!
4 pp · war

A soldier's worst enemy isn't bullets—it's his own fear of doctors. When Bob Cain is caught in crossfire during a fierce battle, he refuses medical help despite his injuries, convinced that a hospital bed is a fate worse than death itself. But his terror of the surgeon's knife may be the only thing standing between him and a condition that demands immediate attention in "Operation Rx!"

Private, Do Not Disturb
6 pp · war

Private Ike draws guard duty outside a female war correspondent's tent with strict orders to keep her undisturbed—but when enemy soldiers sneak in to capture her, he's forced to choose between following orders and protecting his charge. Armed with nothing but quick thinking and determination, Ike wages a one-man battle to stop the infiltrators without waking Miss Calhoon, leading to a night of comedic chaos that tests just how far a soldier will go for duty.
