Cold War Heroes

COLD WAR HEROES by Tom Johnson, with a great photo cover by Teena Modgling, is now available through FADING SHADOWS: Top Secret action in this military satire set in Europe during the height of the Cold War. A group of misfit MPs must confront spies and the black market while dealing with a boxing tournament on Post! Not since M*A*S*H* and SOLDIER IN THE RAIN have we been treated to an inside look at military life with a touch of humor by a soldier who actually experienced it.

Loosely based on the author’s memories of Poitiers, France, and the American Army military Post where he served from 1963 to 1966 with the military police. A detachment stuck miles from headquarters, where there was sometimes a lack of military discipline, too much cognac, and some very beautiful French girls. This is available in Hardback from the author for $24.95, and paperback for $13.95, plus postage. It is also available on Kindle for $3.99

“Swashbuckling Adventure At Its Best.”

Set in 1609 France, after the religious wars, ex-soldier Darion Delerue de Tarbes now rides with Captain Jaspart de Tremear and his Falcon Highwaymen, seeking coin and adventure. Men of courage and horsemanship, and quick with a blade of steel or pistol, the action never lets up. Darion is thrown into a fight now that could impel France into another war. Will he end with honor,  or go down in defeat as a rogue bandit?

This was a rollicking good read, with lots of sword action. The author did his research on 17^th century France, and his writing puts the reader into the romantic tale of political intrigue, as well as personal honor. Except for the profanity, this novel could have been published in ARGOSY or ADVENTURE in the days of pulp magazine thrills, and stood beside the classics like THE THREE MUSKETEERS. For me the profanity was the only mark against this well written action yarn. I read to escape the world and its faults, and that includes the wide use of profanity in today’s literature. Other than this drawback, I highly recommend this swashbuckling adventure to all fans of the genre.

Cold War Heroes

“Cold War Heroes” by Tom Johnson. The misfits of France’s 202nd Military Police Company know what matters – drinking French cognac and chasing French women. Between parties, they chase after spies, crack down on the black market, and prepare for a boxing tournament on Post. With shades of M*A*S*H – ten years later, different settings, Tom treats us to a candid look at military life with dollops of humor. As Radar would say over the public address system, “Follow the adventures of those good old boys from home as they fight to keep the world safe one bottle and broad at a time.” Contains some mature language.
