Contains 4 stories
The Dawns Early Light
8 pp · War

Corporal Andy Bayne, the sole experienced non-com of the Third Platoon, leads his men through a rain-soaked Korean valley where every shadow hides an ambush—his legendary survival instincts tested when a fresh-from-stateside lieutenant joins the outfit. When a night mission to locate enemy guns goes dangerously wrong, Bayne must rely on quick thinking and sheer nerve to keep his platoon alive long enough to complete their mission. It takes more than luck to see the dawn's early light in a war where one mistake means never seeing home again.

Missing in Action
6 pp · War

Private Tom Fenton survives a devastating enemy assault only to be captured and interrogated in a North Korean prison camp—but when American planes strafe the area during a transport, he and fellow prisoner Don Traub spot a chance to escape. Wounded and weakening, Fenton realizes he may not survive the journey back to Allied lines, yet refuses to abandon the fight, setting his sights on a nearby munitions dump as a final act of defiance. This gripping Korean War tale captures the brutal reality of capture, survival, and the impossible choices soldiers face when hope itself becomes a weapon.

I'll Take the Infantry
7 pp · War

An infantry soldier nursing a grudge against the Air Force volunteers for a bombing run over North Korea—and discovers that flying combat missions come with their own brutal price. When enemy fighters cripple his B-29, he's forced to bail out over hostile territory with nothing but his wits and a parachute, learning firsthand why the "gravy train" he envied comes with real danger. A sharp look at service branch rivalry that gets tested when it counts most.

Operation Bridgehead
7 pp · War

A demolition team led by an engineer named Skip must blow a strategic bridge before enemy forces can cross a swollen river, but their operation goes sideways when communist soldiers unexpectedly converge on their position. Pinned down and running low on ammunition, the team must improvise their way through waves of attacks using makeshift explosives—with a reluctant helper named Wizzy proving to be more resourceful than anyone gave him credit for. It's a tense race against impossible odds where quick thinking and sacrifice become the difference between mission success and disaster.
