Trample the Weak: A WWII Kaiju Adventure Thriller
Corporal Beau Henry didn’t sign up for adventure.
He signed up to kill the enemy.
And as the Marines of the 2nd Division push back the Empire of Japan from their heavily fortified islands in the Pacific Ocean, he is given the chance when they are tasked with taking Yeuhan Island. A small island with an airfield vital for the coming invasion of mainland Japan.
It is there, underneath the sand and bodies, that a secret of the Imperial Japanese Army will be discovered hidden inside the island.
The Emperor’s Unit Thirty-Five.
A sadistic combination of scientists and soldiers, who search for the mysterious, the wonderous, and the unknown. Anything that will aid their empire in crushing the Americans.
On Yeuhan Island, they found something.
And it is up to Corporal Henry and his small band of degenerate Marines to kill them all.
Or the tide will turn, and the war will be lost.

What a great book!
I never would have thought that a book about wwii could blend so well with sea monsters. Right from the start I was hooked. The characters were well writes and developed. So brave. The monsters were grueling but I asked for it.

This was a really amazing book, and like nothing I have ever read. The action was great the creature, description creepy the protagonist well flushed out. I’m looking forward to his next book.
