#1 – The Long Patrol
During the bloody battle for Guadalcanal, one Army unit’s mission to infiltrate enemy lines to arm and train a guerrilla force of natives goes horribly wrong.
The 164th Regiment of the Army ‘Americal’ Division has come to reinforce the beleaguered 1st Marine Division, which has been fighting the Japanese for months. It will be the Division’s first combat test, as well as its bloodiest.
The fighting has come to a standstill with neither side giving ground. The 164th is desperate to break the stalemate and the mounting casualties.
Their possible solution comes in the form of a British Coast Watcher. Thomas Welch offers to take a small unit into the jungle to meet up with a force of natives to instigate a guerrilla war against the Japanese rear.
A unit from Able Company is selected for the job. Each man’s been battle-tested, defending Henderson field from hordes of attacking Japanese. The mission goes badly from the outset and the unit is cut off and desperate to continue their mission.
As the battle for Guadalcanal rages, their mission changes. As more men fall, the likelihood of completing it is slipping away. Alone, hurt and betrayed, they find themselves as the only soldiers able to deliver victory from the jaws of defeat.
#2 – Bloody Bougainville
Outnumbered GIs tasked with an impossible defense against a desperate force of Japanese soldiers. A forgotten battle on a hellish island in the Northern Solomons.
Sergeant Carver and Able Company are veterans of Guadalcanal. After much needed rest they’re thrown back into combat with untested recruits.
With the help from veterans like Corporal O’Connor, the woodsman from Oregon, and Private Willy, the thug from the city, they must mold the replacements to become the veterans they’re trying to replace.
The mission is like nothing they’ve tackled before. They’re not meant to take the island, but to defend the six-mile beachhead. It’s a bloody and thankless job, in a forgotten corner of the war.
The Japanese are slowly starving. They must push the Allies back into the sea at any cost. Their only advantage is superior numbers.
The GIs will need a miracle, and even then it may not be enough.
#3 – Bleeding The Sun
War rages in the Pacific. The Japanese are losing ground. The GIs of the 164th Regiment must pay for every bloody yard.
Platoon Sergeant Carver and the soldiers of Able Company are thrust into the battle for the Philippine Islands. Each island, big or small must be taken and the Japanese occupiers killed or captured. Each island is another challenge. Another way to die.
With the help of Filipino resistance fighters, the U.S. Army relentlessly moves forward. Each campaign takes a deadly toll and further demoralizes them.
To Carver and O’Connor, the war seems endless. Every day of combat decreases their odds of survival. Can they find hope in the future? Will they survive this fight just to be thrust into another desperate battle?
