About this ebook

Special Forces veteran John F. Mullins delivers heart-pounding action under fire in his third Men of Valor novel.

1975: With the Vietnam War drawing to a close, Captain James Carmichael begins a new life far from the front lines, in Bad Tölz, Germany. Married to a beautiful Russian émigré and awaiting his first child, Carmichael should be content training the 10th Special Forces for a European conflict that will likely never come. But the peacetime army is unmanageable, plagued by drugs and misbehavior, and Carmichael hungers for something more. That appetite gets fed when he is asked to rescue a P.O.W. being held by the North Vietnamese. It's a deadly proposition with dangerous odds, to which his wife bitterly objects. But Carmichael must answer the call of loyalty and risk everything he has -- on one last mission to bring his men back alive.

Ratings and reviews

Boy did the US ever abandon the Yards after promising to never not support them. This book has enough blood and guts action to keep you reading all nite to finish the book. Very good read !! SF would not have been able to accomplish many of their missions with out the Yards.

Very well done, thank you for an exciting read!

Outstanding reading.
