Contains 4 stories
The Free and the Brave!
6 pp · war

A cynical journalist assigned to cover the French Foreign Legion arrives skeptical of their reputation, but a Colonel shares the unit's storied past—from brutal campaigns in Africa to their legendary stand at Dien Bien Phu during the Indochina conflict. Through tales of desert warfare, their refusal to surrender when France fell to Nazi Germany, and their desperate jungle fighting against Communist forces, the narrator discovers that these "men no country wants" are bound by honor, duty, and an unshakeable commitment to freedom. By the time he hears their final chapter, his contempt transforms into profound respect for the Free and the Brave.

...Your Name on It!
6 pp · war

During the Battle of the Bulge, Pfc. Larry Gurin wakes up alone behind enemy lines after a German advance sweeps over his position, armed only with grenades, a few bullets, and grim determination. Trapped deep in hostile territory, he wages a one-man campaign to slow the German offensive—destroying a tank, sabotaging an ammunition column, and staying one step ahead of pursuit—while clinging to a single cartridge he's saved for a darker purpose. When the ice-cold river finally cuts off his escape, Larry discovers that survival sometimes comes from an unexpected quarter.

The Brute!
6 pp · adventure

Jay Clifford, a giant of a man whose raw strength allowed him to survive a shipwreck alone, washes ashore on a remote island and takes a job as a pearl diver for the stern Silas Latham. Though Latham dismisses him as just a brute with no brains, Clifford's genuine care for the native divers and his tireless work ethic transform the operation—until a suspicious sea captain and his crew arrive with designs on Latham's growing fortune in pearls. When ruthless outsiders demand Clifford open an impenetrable safe, the real test of this misunderstood giant begins.

Soldier of Fortune!
5 pp · adventure

A young man desperate for real excitement tracks down the legendary Tim O'Shea, a soldier of fortune operating across the South Seas, and begs for a chance to join him. O'Shea offers him a dangerous assignment: deliver a packet of papers worth a fortune through treacherous jungle while a terrorist group hunts for them—but nothing goes quite as planned. Full of narrow escapes, jungle perils, and hard-won lessons, "Soldier of Fortune!" proves that the adventure a newcomer seeks comes with a price steeper than imagination.
