Raider Staff Sergeant Robert Van Hook ambushed a group of insurgents, then chased the survivors into their compound, killing more and taking two prisoners. The next day, when he got word that another unit nearby was under attack from three sides, SSgt Van Hook manned a Mk-19 automatic grenade launcher on a rooftop to suppress the enemy fire. His raining grenades shifted the enemy fire onto his own position. An RPG exploded over his head, knocking him unconscious and flipping the huge gun on top of him. When he came to, he rolled the gun upright, applied a tourniquet to his leg above a ghastly wound left by the explosion, and resumed firing. When he could no longer feel his leg, and the overwhelming fire continued, a corpsman convinced him to leave the rooftop. SSgt Van Hook then called in medevac choppers and danger-close mortar fire to help clear the LZ. For his heroism and boldness under fire, SSgt Van Hook was awarded the Silver Star.
"Any Raider could have been switched out with me and done the same exact thing," he said. "A Raider isn't going to let anybody down: not the brothers that went before him, not the Marine beside him. He might have done it differently, but he would have gotten the job done.

It was an incredible thrill to co-write with JN Chaney, and to get to tell a story that walked a thin line between Science Fiction and Space Fantasy, under the larger umbrella of Space Opera.
Iβm still working on my new series with JN Chaney, a #militaryscifi called Portal Raiders, which will release this coming August.
Book 1 of Portal Raiders, my new Military #scifi co-write series with JN Chaney, is off to the editor.
If an elite team of Marine Raiders that infiltrates Portals to alien worlds in search of advanced technology sounds like your thing, you'll want to check this out when it releases.
A little BTS: I did something I haven't done for any of my books so far. I decided to go with dialogue snippets as the chapter titles, which ended up being a lot of fun.
Here's a few to pique your interest:

- I'd Rather Sell Feet Pictures On The Net
- Black Friday Sale At The Armory
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
