Contains 4 stories
Arctic Assault
9 pp · science fiction; war

When American bombers strike a Soviet base hidden beneath the Arctic ice at Severnaya Zemlya, Colonel Attwood leads a daring assault over the North Pole using guided missiles and revolutionary new weapons—but a desperate counterattack by Soviet reinforcements turns the frigid battlefield into a race against the clock. Written with lettering by typeset (Leroy lettering), "Arctic Assault" pits cutting-edge American technology against determined Red resistance in a high-stakes Cold War confrontation where seconds mean the difference between victory and annihilation.

Old-Timers Die Hard
7 pp · science fiction; war

When the Russians unleash a devastating new sonic weapon that disintegrates all metal along the Saar Basin front, General Barclay—dismissed by his modern-minded officers as an outdated relic of earlier wars—must decide whether to trust scientific theory or apply his hard-won battlefield instincts to save his men. As the Red Army presses their advantage with their pulverizing secret weapon, the old soldier finds himself in a race against both the enemy and his own command's doubts about his relevance in atomic-age warfare. With the American position crumbling and morale at its lowest, Barclay takes his gamble, heading to the front lines himself to witness the threat firsthand.

Operation Satellite
9 pp · science fiction; war

In a 1953 vision of atomic war's future, agent Glenn Harris parachutes into Soviet territory on a desperate mission: to infiltrate a hidden underground rocket center and sabotage Operation Satellite, the Russians' plan to orbit atomic weapons beyond Earth's reach. Disguised as a trusted colonel with help from a deep-cover spy, Harris must navigate a mountain fortress bristling with guards and security—all while racing against a launch countdown that could shift the balance of the war forever.

Peril at Ploesti
5 pp · science fiction; war

Chief Bosun Don Walker thinks he can handle a covert submarine mission to sabotage the Ploesti oil fields single-handedly, but the Admiral insists he work alongside Seaman Mehmet Hakari of the Turkish Navy—a partnership that tests Walker's pride as the two pilots navigate treacherous river waters toward their target. When the commando raid goes sideways and Walker takes fire, Mehmet's loyalty forces the American to reckon with his stubborn prejudices in a desperate race back to their vessels.
