In the early days of 1942, Imperial Japan was on the march in the Southwest Pacific. The Netherlands East Indies had fallen except for a few hold-outs on islands most of their defenders had never heard of before being assigned there. Bataan had fallen and Corregidor Island would only last a few weeks longer. The mighty American navy was still trying to recover from the twin disasters of Pearl Harbor and the Java Sea. It seemed that the Rising Sun would soon make it’s appearance in Australia. But, not if the men of Strikeforce Falcon had anything to say about it. Strikeforce Operation Komodo is the second and last story in a series loosely based on the exploits of Z Special Group—a group of Allied commandos who drew on the experiences of the British Special Operations Executive and adapted them to the jungles and islands of the Pacific theater. Author Richard C. White brings the horror and heroics of War to life again in Strikeforce Operation Komodo. From Pro Se Productions.
