forgotten valorForgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War by Richard Thomas Lane

An untested lieutenant. An unwinnable war. An impossible choice that could tear his platoon apart. Korea, 1950. Lt. Jonas Stuyvesant’s privileged upbringing hadn’t prepared him for the hardships of war. But when North Korea launches a surprise attack, he and his ragtag platoon suddenly find themselves on the front lines of a war not even Washington expected. And instead of North Korean peasants armed with pitchforks, Jonas and his fellow soldiers find themselves up against armored Soviet tanks and battle-tested hardened soldiers. Outgunned and outnumbered, his platoon retreats from Osan through Taejon on down the whole length of the Korean Peninsula until their backs are pressed against the sea. As the war-weary troops hunker in for a final stand, a twist of fate gives Jonas a chance to leave the deadly frontline far behind. Before their attackers close in, Jonas must make an impossible choice: leave his brothers-in-arms facing the enemy alone or sacrifice everything to stand by their side to the bitter end. Forgotten Valor: A Novel of the Korean War is a visceral work of historical fiction covering the first three months of America’s forgotten war. If you like under-examined military history, gritty details, and soldiers’ perspectives, then you’ll love Richard Thomas Lane’s story of courage under fire. Buy Forgotten Valor to march into an action-packed story of courage in the combat zone today!

Facing the Storm by David DeLee

Leave a Comment

About Facing the Storm by David DeLee:

Brice Bannon served fifteen years in the Coast Guard, most recently as captain of the Deployable Operations Group, (DOG), the Coast Guard’s version of the Army’s Special Forces and Navy’s Seals operations. When the command was decommissioned, rather than accept re-assignment, Bannon retired from the full-time Coast Guard.

But Bannon didn’t leave the Coast Guard behind completely. He remains in the Reserves.

Recruited by the Secretary of Homeland Security, he leads a small, secretive team of specially-trained, highly-skilled operatives capable of responding to and investigating specific, targeted threats against the homeland. Threats that cannot be effectively handled by standard operating means. Threats that call for a unique and often secret approach outside the normal channels of either Homeland Security or the Department of Defense.

When not risking his life for the government, Bannon runs the Keel Haul, his bar in the resort town of Hampton Beach, on the New Hampshire seacoast. There, he also operates as a small town private investigator and tends to get himself in big trouble along with the help of his two best friends and teammates; Tarakesh “Blades” Sardana and CWO Skyjack McMurphy.

The Soloist: A Nazi Collaborator’s Deadly Mission Against the City of New York by Donald Gates

About The Soloist: A Nazi Collaborator’s Deadly Mission Against the City of New York by Donald Gates:

He’s a Finnish soldier who, in response to the invasion of his homeland in 1939, cut down scores of enemy troops while acting on his own behind Red Army lines, then went on to join a Waffen SS brigade in order to personally wage war deep inside Russia. Now, in December of 1944, he is in Manhattan, sent by Nazi Germany to pave the way for an operation which, if successful, will claim the lives of tens of thousands of Americans. While Germany’s purpose for the mass killing of civilians on American soil is to leverage the Roosevelt government into truce talks aimed at stalling Allied advances in Western Europe after Normandy, the battle-hardened Finn is privately on a mission of his own. Driven by an intense hatred of the United States for what he views as its ongoing support of Russian efforts to crush Finland and bring it under Soviet control, he devises a murderous, retaliatory plan and, once established in New York, secretly sets out to implement it. In doing so, he uses his skills as a solo operator to adapt to a menacing environment, evade capture by the FBI, and brutally eliminate anyone seen as an obstacle to his violent agenda.

South Wales is the setting for this brutal and disturbing World War 2 thriller.
Germany invades mainland Britain. Stormtroopers swarm ashore along the South Wales beaches, determined to capture the Welsh Steelworks and Coal Mines.

The Spirit Road by Ian Fraser

About The Spirit Road by Ian Fraser:

An ancient evil. A company on the verge of collapse. A desperate quest for redemption.

Logan Quinn created Wilderness Construction for one purpose: to tackle the toughest jobs, in the most challenging terrains on Earth.

Its latest project is to build a highway and tunnel through the forbidding Andes Mountain range in South America. Failure would ruin him. That road must be completed and on time, but with a bitter rival snapping at his heels and an infuriating archaeologist thwarting him at every turn, he knows he is facing the toughest challenge of his life.

A thousand years ago, a new and terrible tribe came to the Andes, a tribe so bloodthirsty it wiped itself out. Now that tribe has been reborn, enticing the hapless underclasses of La Paz to join its ranks. As these dark forces gather silently in the shadows, all Logan Quinn can focus on is saving Wilderness Construction. He has just one chance. To do this, he must join forces with a former adversary and embark on a quest to save not just his crippled company, but the lives of all those he cares about.

A fantastic tale of loss, betrayal and retribution. The first book in the epic Wilderness Series.

The Spirit Road takes you into the heart of the Bolivian Andes, as well as the arid deserts of the American Southwest, the bustling streets of Mexico City and the sleazy centre of London’s sex trade as it weaves a tight, intriguing plot that will thrill, captivate and delight. It boasts a great cast of truly memorable characters, a taut plot with euphoric highs and desperate lows and dramatic, bite-the-back-of-your-hand set pieces that will have you glued to every page.

A Time of Giants

About A Time of Giants:

A Time of Giants – Synopsis
In the mid 1700’s England, on the Stevenson estate. CALEB FERRY, a poor, young stable boy and orphan, is tormented by the insistent advances of the baroness, SASHA STEVENSON, daughter of the owner of Stevenson Transport, JACOB.

During a meet at a secret tryst, the two are discovered by Jacob. Outraged, he orders Caleb receive fifty lashes and be sent away to work the remainder of his days on the Luchen, Stevenson Transport’s flagship and greatest merchant galleon on the Atlantic trade routes.

Meanwhile, the location of a lost fortune previously discovered by Jacob, is sent as an encrypted message to Brazil, a new world trying to govern its way through slaving and lawlessness. It is here where the fortune is eluded to be hidden and the honourable SIMON BLAKE is the employee charged to discover and protect its secret.
Caleb meets Blake and embarks on a secret mission into the Brazilian hinterlands, where Blake discovers the location of the fortune. It is on this mission that Caleb kills his first man.

Caleb returns to the Luchen and sails from Brazil, only for his ship to be intercepted and overrun by JACKSON BELL, an outlawed and vicious slaver, along with ADDER, his second in command, both who have also been made aware of the fortune’s existence.

The Luchen is sunk and its crew tortured until another ship sneakily comes to the rescue. It is here that Adder knocks Caleb unconscious when he comes to the aid of a wealthy ship building family who fight against the slave trade, REGAN DEERY and his son JAKE.

Caleb wakes up on board the DEERY’s ship and lies about his past, falsely naming himself BEN. From that day on, CALEB, the peasant, is presumed to have been killed in the battle against the Luchen and yet lives on as BEN DEERY, the adopted son of REGAN.
Simon Blake sees the battle from land and goes into hiding, taking the location of the fortune with him.

Seven years pass and BEN is now a revered warrior and adventurer. In a twist of fate, an arranged marriage is organised between his adopted brother Jake and one of the two Stevenson daughters, yet to be decided by Jake. Both families travel to Brazil where a ball is held for the meeting. It is here that Ben is reunited with the Stevenson’s though they do not recognise him as Caleb. The Stevenson women are ambushed and held hostage by Jackson Bell who parades them in front of Jacob and his entourage in an attempt to force the location of the Spanish treasure out of Jacob.

Ben and Jake Deery come to their rescue and Ben kills Adder in the battle. They chaperone the Stevenson women to a secret place inside a hollowed-out mountain. Here they are reunited with Simon Blake and Ben’s past identity as Caleb is revealed to Sasha. Ben is also informed by Simon that the fortune is real and safe within their location under the water below the cave. Simon then informs Ben that Jacob Stevenson has ties to the slave trade and Jackson Bell.

A plan is made to draw out Jackson’s army. The night prior to the battle Jacob and Ben enter an argument and Ben’s identity becomes known to Jacob. Ben and Jackson find each other on the battlefield the next day and Jackson is slain. Regan and Jacob also fall.
After the battle, Ben and Sasha sail off to London together and for the second time in his life, Ben feels hopeful.
