Book Descriptions:

Trick Soldier: Join two Marines in the midst of a fierce rebel uprising in a Haitian jungle, pitted against each other with a bitter and deadly score to settle. Performed by: R.F. Daley (Narrator), Taron Lexton, Jim Meskimen, Michael Yurchak, Rick Pasqualone, and Jonathan Nichols.

The Lieutenant Takes the Sky: American pilot Mike Malloy enlisted in the French Foreign Legion only to get himself thrown into a Moroccan military jail for trying to swab a deck with a general’s aide. To get out of prison and clear his name, Malloy undertakes a suicide mission: to fly deep into enemy territory and find an alchemist’s book missing for 800 years, a discovery that may determine the destiny of a nation. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), John Mariano, Corey Burton, Rick Pasqualone, Jim Meskimen, and Christina Huntington.

The Green God: The Chinese city of Tientsin is under siege from within—the streets filled with rioting, arson, mass looting, and murder. And all because the city’s sacred idol, the Green God, has gone missing. Bill Mahone of Naval Intelligence is on a mission to find it. But he’s walking a razor’s edge—between worship and warfare, between a touch of heaven and a taste of hell. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Jim Meskimen, Christina Huntington, Michael Yurchak, and James King.

Fifty-Fifty OʼBrien: Join Winchester Remington Smith whose enemies are as predictable as ducks at a carnival shooting gallery. But he’s neither prepared nor equipped to handle the likes of Sergeant Fifty-Fifty O’Brien. Performed by: R.F. Daley (narrator), Taron Lexton, Corey Burton, Jim Meskimen, Shane Johnson, and Phil Proctor.

Critic reviews

“Hubbard’s love of storytelling comes through clearly here, G.I. Joe-like Americanism and the sound effects—e.g. the ‘clanking and wheezing’ of bomber engines revving up for an impending suicide mission—greatly enhance the weight of this thoughtful tale.”—Library Journal

“Riveting cliff-hanger action.”—Midwest Book Review

“Fast-paced adventure stories, with the aid of phenomenal sound effects and a strong supporting cast.”—PW
