Produktinformationen zu „Shake Davis: Chosin File (ePub)“
Nuclear saber-rattling in North Korea has created international palpitations and some unlikely partnerships in an effort to keep communist loose cannons from causing a war that no one wants and everyone fears. The CIA calls on clandestine contacts in neighboring China to run a dark—and wholly unauthorized—reconnaissance mission over North Korea from a top-secret drone base along the Yalu River. All is well and under international radar until Marine Gunner Shake Davis's best friend goes missing on a mission near the infamous Chosin Reservoir, while checking on a tip that the North Koreans are up to something sinister. The disappearance brings Shake out of retirement to locate his buddy on a risky trek through the snow-blown mountains surrounding the Korean War battle site where an earlier generation of marines fought a classic withdrawal that became an iconic chapter in military history. While Shake is on his mission, the North Korean Supreme Leader suddenly dies and the entire world goes on high alert to see what might happen next in Pyongyang. That puts serious pressure on Shake and his South Korean allies who have discovered—and must deter—a potentially world-shattering North Korean weapon that threatens the very fabric of modern computer-based societies. It's a high-stakes game and the clock is ticking as an international team of technical experts and military special operators launch a desperate search that culminates in a deadly confrontation in the Korea Straits in the midst of a howling storm.

Dale A. Dye is a US Marine officer who rose through the ranks to retire as a captain after twenty-one years of service in war and peace. He is a distinguished graduate of the Missouri Military Academy who enlisted the United States Marine Corps shortly after graduation. Sent to war in Southeast Asia, he served in Vietnam in 1965 and 1967 through 1970, surviving thirty-one major combat operations. Appointed a warrant officer in 1976, he later converted his commission and was a captain when he deployed to Beirut, Lebanon, with the Multinational Force from 1982 through 1983. He served in a variety of assignments around the world and along the way attained a degree in English literature from the University of Maryland. Following retirement from active duty in 1984, he spent time in Central America, reporting and training troops for guerrilla warfare in El Salvador, Honduras, and Costa Rica. Upset with Hollywood’s treatment of the American military, he went to Hollywood and established Warriors, Inc., the preeminent military training and advisory service to the entertainment industry.
