While Rex “Gunner” Hobbs is waiting in Pearl Harbor for orders back to the States as an instructor in Gunner’s Mate School, his friend and combat partner Captain Paul Hendricks recruits him for Team 12 of the Underwater Demolition Teams. That’s a new adventure and after grueling training, Gunner explores the beaches of Iwo Jima before the invasion. After the Marines have landed, Hobbs and Hendricks are sent on a special mission to silence a Japanese gun that is wrecking havoc on the landing beaches and cannot be reached by bombs or ships’ gunfire. They accomplish the mission and Gunner goes on to serve as a sniper for a Marine company until he’s ordered back to the UDT ship. Next comes the Battle of Okinawa, that bloody island that takes so many lives. Gunner has left the UDT and volunteered for the Amphibious Marine Recon Battalion, and before he’s done he finds himself fighting as a sniper again for control of Sugar Loaf Hill with the 29th Regiment of the 6th Marines. And then comes the sudden end of the Second World War with the dropping of the Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the huge death toll on Okinawa, the fighting men are relieved that they will not have to invade the Japanese home islands.

"SERGEANT MURPHY" is now available in Ebook (4.99) and Paperback (14.99) https://t.co/q93v8CeqcD
Sergeant Murphy is about a young Marine who joined the Corps in 1939 to become a career man. Then came the war, and the book follows Sergeant John C. Murphy of the 1st Marine Division in the battles of Tulagi, Edson’s Ridge on Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu and finally Okinawa. Murphy was in the thick of the action in all of the battles, and he was wounded several times.
Having read accounts of the battles from war records to reminiscences and personal accounts I believe I have kept to the facts as much as possible while writing a book of historical fiction about a fictional character; my readers will let me know if I have been successful.
The U.S. Marine Corps was given the short end of everything in the Pacific war, as the U.S. Army always took precedence for equipment and supplies and replacements. Things grew better after the German’s surrendered on May 9, 1945, but it was common knowledge when the U.S. was fighting on two major fronts that the leaders in Washington D.C. felt the war in Europe was more important than the war in the Pacific, and the European Theater was first on the supply line.
