Heat of Battle
(2020)(The seventh book in the Heroes of Vietnam series)
A Novella by Todd McLeod and Eric Meyer
Third Platoon, B Company, 7th Air Cavalry, has seen more action that most. Their platoon commander has transferred, and they have a new man.
Lieutenant Richard Early, with a reputation as a movie star, and he is a man in a hurry. An officer who wants to hit the ground running, to meet the enemy in battle and build an enviable body count. Yet all is not as it seems.
Pfc Joe Cooper met the new lieutenant before when he doubled for him in a successful movie. He found he didn’t like the arrogant, clueless SOB then and nothing has changed. Early offers to lead his new command on a dangerous mission to rescue a downed airman, a Colonel with valuable intelligence which the enemy will try to prize out of his head. They take off in Hueys and land at an LZ close to the target. So far so good. Until it all starts to go bad.
The mission unravels, and a series of screw-ups lunge the platoon into a major battle. A battle for survival, and a battle to save something from the wreckage brought about by a fool who believes he is a leader of men.
