"You can almost smell the enemy in this WWII actioner ... Clary tells the adventure as if you were standing next to him." - William R. Burkett, Jr, Shadow of a Soldier A handpicked squad of men, Gunny's Marines struggle through an intensely hot and humid, Japanese infested Pacific jungle code named Boogeyman Island. After a successful mission and a harrowing departure from the island, the boys of Baker squad were on-route to their next mission when disaster struck the submarine they were traveling on. When they regained consciousness, the Marines found themselves marooned on an island smack-dab in the middle of the largest concentration of Japanese forces in a tri-island area: New Britain, New Ireland, and Bougainville. Their situation was dire, but Gunnery Sergeant Alistair Baker still had a couple of aces up his sleeve; his two scouts. Highly skilled trackers, they were also as silent as ghosts, and as invisible to the Japanese warriors as death's stalker.
