From Action/Adventure novelist Michael Kasner comes a military techno-thriller series! In the tradition of Blue Thunder. Torn apart by violent crime, 1999 America was in big trouble. Armed criminal cartels terrorized our cities and heartlands, dealing drugs and death wholesale. Local police were outgunned and overrun by the explosion of terror, so the President unleashed the only force able to stop the killing and save the country: the U.S. TACTICAL POLICE FORCE. An elite army of super cops with ammo to burn, they powered down on the hot spots in sleek high-tech attack choppers to win the dirty war and take back the streets of America! CHOPPER COPS - BOOK FOUR: 21st century America is on the brink of collapse. Crazed addicts have turned entire cities into living hell as they kill each other for one last hit of the latest designer death drug called EDGE. Super-thieves in high-tech choppers blast open banks, stealing millions each week. All signs point to a lethal plot by the powerful Los Angeles mob. Unable to fight the threat alone, the L.A.P.D. sends for the only force able to stop the destruction: Captain Buzz Corcran’s strike force of skycops. Exploding into action, the battle squad must win the bloody battle in the air and the streets before crime destroys America forever!

In this Marine combat memoir, Steve Johnson recounts his service in Vietnam from April 1967 to May 1968. Only 17 when he enlisted in 1964, Johnson deployed to Vietnam with the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, and his tour included such now famous locations as Phu Bai, Khe Sanh, Nha Trang and Quang Tri, among others. With a sometimes humorous tone, Johnson describes a war of often terrified high school and college-aged youngsters faced with exotic plant and animal life, monsoon rains, harrowing reconnaissance missions and death. Details are plentiful about tactics, equipment, geography and, always, fellow Marines.

From Andrew Wiest, the bestselling author of The Boys of '67: Charlie Company's War in Vietnam and one of the leading scholars in the study of the Vietnam War, comes a frank exploration of the human experience during the conflict. Vietnam allows the reader a grunt's-eye-view of the conflict – from the steaming rice paddies and swamps of the Mekong Delta, to the triple-canopy rainforest of the Central Highlands and the forlorn Marine bases that dotted the DMZ. It is the definitive oral history of the Vietnam War told in the uncompromising, no-holds barred language of the soldiers themselves.

After he is blitzed by a series of unneeded shock treatments and sent to a back ward to die, he slowly recovers by painting and crafting sculpture. He falls in love with a devoted occupational therapist who reciprocates. And to make himself whole for her he escapes the hospital to find a new and truer life in a blazing finale of enlightened madness in New York's Greenwich Village.

Richard Kirkland is legendary for his P-38 Lightning missions in the South Pacific theater during WWII. After the war, he realized the potential of Igor Sikorsky’s new flying machine, and he traded in his fighter-pilot wings for rotors. The nerve-racking chopper missions he has flown are the stuff of legend: scrambling to evacuate president Harry Truman after an unthinkable “code red one” alert comes over his red phone; bantering with the real “Hawkeye” at a MASH unit before flying into North Korea to rescue wounded soldiers. Equally riveting are his accounts of a medevac pilot in Vietnam who lands a ten ton CH-46 “Frog” in the jungle at night, with no lights, under fire, with only a soldier’s cigarette lighter for reference; and an aerial tour pilot who routinely pulls people out of the water above, below, and right before Niagara Falls.
