Hammerhead

The Sergeant #9

by Gordon Davis, Len Levinson

Fresh from the slaughter at Bastogne, Sgt. C.J. Mahoney rejoins Charlie Company of Patton’s Hammerhead Division. His new commander is glory-seeking Lt. Woodward, a stiff-spined West Pointer who wields his rank like a bullwhip—all of it stinging Mahoney’s hide. Just as the Sergeant is about to rearrange his new superior officer’s baby face, German bullets and grenades burst through the heavy snowfall. Slicing his way through the blood and guts of no-man’s-land with his kill-crazy sidekick Cranepool, Mahoney is singled out by Woodward for a volley of arrogant abuse. Burning at both ends, the Sergeant blasts hell at Hitler’s advancing troops, saving the entire company from oblivion. Mahoney is up for the Silver Star—but first he vows to settle the score with a particular backstabbing lieutenant! LEN LEVINSON, ALIAS GORDON DAVIS Hailed as a ‘trash genius’, Len Levinson was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, served on active duty in the U.S. Army from 1954-1957, and graduated from Michigan State University with a BA in Social Science. He relocated to NYC that year and worked as an advertising copywriter and public relations executive before becoming a full-time novelist. Len created and wrote a number of series, including The Apache Wars Saga, The Pecos Kid and The Rat Bastards. He has had over eighty titles published, and PP is delighted to have the opportunity to issue his exceptional WWII series, The Sergeant in digital form. After many years in NYC, Len moved to a small town (pop. 3100) in rural Illinois, where he is now surrounded by corn and soy bean fields ... a peaceful, ideal location for a writer.

[Joey Brockert · Rating 1 out of 5]

Male juvenile action/romance. I got to the part that the nurse was wondering if she was a nymphomaniac, and just figured this is to simple to bother with. There is a good sergeant, a evil/bad lieutenant and a evil German officer. It seems the Sarge and the German have had run ins before, so you can figure that there will be another and the good guy will come out on top, ho, hum.
