Ray Corwin has been trapped inside an M4 Sherman tank for five months of brutal combat, and the crushing fear of it becoming his coffin has grown unbearable—each mission feels like it could be his last. When his unit is ordered into one final assault against entrenched German positions, Corwin's nightmares and premonitions seem to be coming true as enemy fire concentrates on the tank. Fighting past his terror to do his duty, Corwin will discover whether his fears have been merely in his mind or horribly justified.
When S/Sgt. Josh Hiller and Lieutenant Milt Barth accompany ARVN Captain Lin Hua on a jungle patrol in the Central Highlands, a surprise enemy ambush from behind costs Hiller a wound—but more troubling to Barth is Hua's erratic command decisions that prevent the unit from reaching their real objective. That evening in Saigon, Barth witnesses a man matching Hua's description attempt a terrorist bombing, and his report sets off an investigation that uncovers a shocking truth about the captain's true allegiances.
The 1st Division's Air Cavalry digs in deep within enemy territory, constructing a fortified base camp in the Vietnamese jungle—bunkers built for survival, not comfort. As the soldiers endure the endless mud, insects, and jungle misery, they transform their cramped dugouts into something more than mere foxholes: a precarious home that shields them from mortar fire and keeps them alive between patrols. When new orders finally arrive to relocate, the men face an unexpected truth about what they've built in this forsaken corner of the war.
Four inexperienced American replacements find themselves trapped near the Italian village of San Carmelo in February 1944, caught between a crippled German Tiger tank and enemy patrols closing in from all sides. When Pfc. Leroy "Specs" Ellis discovers the tank's disabled radio, he and his squad—aided by local villagers including Elena Lagano and her cousin Gino Maretti—seize the chance to turn the Germans' own machine against them. What starts as a desperate bid for survival becomes an audacious stand that gives the war-weary villagers hope they've never dared believe in.
