Rookie Joe Walker, 3rd Brigade, 7th Air Cavalry, was finding life in Vietnam tough. The war is building into a major conflict, yet despite his efforts, he feels like a square peg in a round hole. He can’t shoot straight, missed the bayonet course, and nothing ever goes right. He can throw a mean grenade, but Army made him a rifleman, and they’re determined to make sure he can shoot straight. Or else.
Before they pitched him into the maelstrom of Vietnam, he’d planned to be a major league baseball pitcher. The chances of him surviving long enough to realize his dream are receding fast. When they hand his unit a mission to go north of the DMZ to rescue a downed aircrew member, he knows his dream is at an end. North of the Demilitarized Zone is a country known as North Vietnam. Along with millions of enemy soldiers just waiting for the chance to kill any American who sets foot on their sacred, Communist soil.
A job for the Rangers or the Navy SEALs, the men in green faces. The Army wants something different, a unit that wont be missed. Led by a newbie Lieutenant who is as green as Joe, a helicopter drops them close to their target. North Vietnam is within spitting distance, and their orders are simple. Cross a flimsy bamboo bridge over a fast flowing river, grab the man they came for and bring him back. Simple. Until they encounter the enemy, and all hell breaks loose.
Heroes of Vietnam Book 2 – Behind Enemy Lines is the second shortread fictional war story set during the Vietnam War. The book is a collaboration between Todd McLeod and Eric Meyer, the bestselling author of more than fifty war novels.
