Chopper Pilot: Wings Over Nam, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 313min
From the thundering B-52 bombing raids on Hanoi to inserting search-and-destroys in the jungle, from wielding a death-spewing Spooky to taking out SAM missile sights in the North, the skies above Vietnam were a hell of deadly million-dollar machinery, split-second decisions, and death-lock engagements with the enemy. Now 19-year-old David Anderson is a raw pilot in an Assault Helicopter Company, slamming straight into the strength of the VC. But from his first mission to Charlie's first invasion it doesn't take Anderson long to discover that this is a whole new kind of war. With no support from behind and only death in front of him, Anderson knows that there's only one way to fight in Vietnam - and that's to do it your own way. They were America's elite, battle-hardened flyers...men who came from every service and every corner of the war. They lived with the agony and irony that was Vietnam and flew with courage and commitment. This is their story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott "Scooter" Fortney.

Crossfire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 288min
Born to be a spy, built to be a fighter, and destined to be a legend on the frontier... They'd killed five men already and stolen a quarter of a million dollars in silver and gold. Now a band of vicious thieves has drawn the best man that Wells Fargo can send: the rangy, mysterious Chicago-based Pinkerton agent named Ash Tallman. An operator who works with a pleasure-loving beauty who goes by many names and does her best work in the least amount of clothes, Tallman is heading to Red Rock, Arizona territory. In the shadow of the towering Ricon mountain range, hardcase highwaymen are plotting their next hold-up - and will hurt as many people as they can along the way. Ash and his lady, both going deep undercover, quickly find their way inside the strange, vicious outlaw band, but that's only the beginning. For while the killing goes down in Red Rock, the planning takes place in Tucson. And that's where two outgunned Pinkertons must face an evil all its own.... ungekürzt. Language: English.

Carrier War: Wings Over Nam, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 267min
Navy lieutenants David Kincaid and Douglas Bakker honed their flying skills over the Nevada desert. Assigned to a carrier on the South China Sea, they soared through South Vietnam's skies, whetting their appetites for the real thing: a dogfight in the North. But on their first ride over the DMZ the two hotshot flyers found out that an undertrained, underfed North Vietnamese pilot can kill like a top gun in the cockpit of a MiG. Knocked out of the skies for the first time, Kincaid and Bakker would return on a mission of their own. Soon in the SAM-littered airspace over Hanoi they'd be hunting for a MiG-21 with a cobra painted on the tail - while in Saigon's Gunfighter's Club the other pilots would drink a toast and wonder how far two men can go for revenge... They were America's elite, battle-hardened flyers...men who came from every service and every corner of the war. They lived with the agony and irony that was Vietnam and flew with courage and commitment. This is their story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott "Scooter" Fortney.

With a mercenary commando team, Frost penetrates the steaming Southeast Asian jungles to knock off the kingpin of the raw opium trade and avenge a savage murder.

Then he has to deal with the girl from the drug awareness political action group who wants to get the hard facts on opium smuggling and could wind up a high-priced harem slave. And the one-eyed man is sentenced to an execution that might just switch him over to headless jokes... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott "Scooter" Fortney.

Bird Dog: Wings Over Nam, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 266min
They were point men of the air war, and wherever they went the hammer of death came down... American firepower could deliver pure destruction in Charlie's lap, but someone had to find him. That's where the daredevil pilots of the single-engine Cessna 0-1 Bird Dog recon planes made their mark in Vietnam. Flying unarmed into the enemy's front yard, the Bird Dog pilots shot flares down on Charlie and spotted him for destruction. And every once in a while these hardened flyers took their antiquated prop planes even farther into the heat...like the time a team of sidearm-shooting Bird Doggers fought a personal duel with a die-hard VC unit in Hobo Woods. Using a one-two punch with troop-laden Huey's, the Bird Dog pilots planned to spring an ambush. But in the death and blood of Hobo Woods, it was hard to tell who was out to ambush who... They were America's elite, battle-hardened flyers...men who came from every service and every corner of the war. They lived with the agony and irony that was Vietnam and flew with courage and commitment. This is their story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott "Scooter" Fortney.

Out of Control: The Defender, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
Against the fanatical enemies of liberty, they were America's fighting ticket. As the race for Metro mayor heats up, the city explodes in a new wave of brutal violence. The radical FLNA has a simple strategy to insure their candidate's victory: bombings, kidnappings, and cold-blooded murder. One way or another, the terrorists are heavily favored to make a killing. Only David Holden and his Patriots refuse to run scared. Outlawed and outcast, the Defender joins forces with a top-secret team of FBI special agents on a blood-soaked campaign to beat the enemy at his own savage game...to cast their vote for freedom with ballots and bullets. A patriot in the truest sense, David Holden was a law-abiding citizen until the laws proved powerless to protect the innocent, to stop an invader hell-bent on America's destruction. With an army of renegade cops and ex-vets, he's fighting back with all the cunning, expertise, and brute force at his command. Anytime, any place, Holden and his warriors are ready to defend their country from the enemy outside and the enemy within. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott "Scooter" Fortney.
