An American soldier is transporting a defecting Russian scientist named Tasio across the Atlantic when they encounter a Russian fighter plane. After escaping that threat, the soldier and Tasio land and meet with military personnel, but Tasio is captured by enemy agents seeking a secret document he possesses. The soldier pursues the enemy operatives, ultimately rescuing Tasio and thwarting the enemy's plans. Later, the soldier is reassigned to his old outfit in Korea, where he is reunited with his company and learns that several of his fellow soldiers have survived combat.

Mail and Mayhem
6 pp · War
McLeod

McLeod, a company mail clerk in Korea, makes a dangerous supply run to deliver the mail—dodging sniper fire, artillery barrages, and an enemy assault—because he knows how much those letters mean to the troops. When the attack finally subsides and the mail is distributed, he sees firsthand why his risky job matters: the joy of a soldier learning he's a father, the heartbreak of one who receives nothing, and the comfort of word from home that keeps morale alive even in the heat of combat.

Peril at Jet Junction
8 pp · War
PFC JonesGeneral Vishny

PFC Jones finds himself stranded behind the Iron Curtain in occupied Germany, where Soviet forces are developing a captured Nazi rocket bomber. Forced to infiltrate a heavily guarded experimental facility, he discovers far more than military hardware—and gets swept into a dangerous game of espionage, betrayal, and a desperate bid to save innocent lives from Soviet retaliation. With unexpected allies and treacherous enemies closing in, Jones must navigate intrigue and violence to survive and expose the truth.

Operation Hush-Hush!

Freelance pilot Brock Temple is desperate for cash to save his struggling airline when a mysterious woman named Tasio Kopoo hires him for a secret mission into Korean interior—but what starts as a lucrative charter quickly reveals itself as something far more sinister when Temple discovers he's been duped into smuggling enemy agents. Now stranded with dangerous operatives and a submarine waiting offshore, Temple must use his wits and his plane to turn the tables and expose the spy ring before they silence him for good.
