Fightin' Marines #20

PFC Jerry Burns has been waging a one-man vendetta against the enemy ever since learning what happened to his brother in a POW camp, and his obsession with personal revenge leaves his platoon dangerously exposed—until a catastrophic attack forces him to confront what his refusal to fight as part of the team has cost them all. Trapped and separated from his unit, Burns must reckon with the hard lesson that survival—and victory—belongs to those who stand together, not alone.

A grizzled sergeant's larger-than-life war stories have his men rolling their eyes—until an ambush pins them down and Old Sarge shows up on a bulldozer to prove his legendary reputation might not be so exaggerated after all. With machine gun fire and Japanese forces closing in, the men discover their tough-talking leader was never as far from the action as they thought. It's a 1957 war story that turns tall tales into battlefield redemption.

Tanglefoot Jones, a lanky hill-billy sharpshooter with the strength of ten men, volunteers for a dangerous mission when Communist forces dig in on a Korean cliff face—he'll hang from a helicopter and take them out himself. When the plan goes sideways and Jones finds himself trapped inside the enemy tunnel with a captured helicopter pilot, his quick thinking and raw power become his only weapons against overwhelming odds. A scrappy, unconventional soldier proves that sometimes brute determination beats tactical training when the stakes are survival.

Marine Bill Clyde witnesses a guard dragging a woman into a Red Korean compound and instinctively launches a daring rescue, helping her escape to friendly lines—but as they navigate back through enemy territory, Bill begins to suspect that their unlikely string of good fortune might be something far more sinister. With mines, guards, and suspicion closing in, Bill must determine whether the woman he rescued is an ally or a carefully laid trap by General Ling's intelligence operation.
