A gripping tale of moral courage in the shadow of victory—where the end of war begins history’s most perilous reckoning. 

With Hitler's suicide ending the Third Reich and chaos consuming a shattered Germany, US Army Captain Edward Hume leads his bomb disposal squad—The Kaboom Boys—through the deadly aftermath of victory. What began as a coal miner's son seeking adventure far from Pennsylvania has become a mission to save lives in a world still bristling with unexploded ordnance and Nazi "werewolf" fighters who refuse to surrender. Their work grows deadlier each day. While other soldiers celebrate, Hume's men face booby traps and ticking bombs left behind by a crumbling Reich. Then comes the mission that will define them all: Hume is ordered to escort an evil but brilliant Nazi scientist who spent the war designing weapons specifically to kill Allied bomb disposal experts, across war-torn Europe to America. And somewhere in the chaos, an Army nurse from Normandy waits for Edward’s return—if he survives the gauntlet ahead. 

With the weight of history and the promise of peace hanging in the balance, in Book #3 in the A CALL TO WAR SERIES, Edward and his men discover that sometimes the most perilous battles come after the war is won.

In the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, four young submariners are thrown into the chaos of war…Book #2 in THE TIDES OF WAR SERIES 

December 7, 1941. Pearl Harbor lies in ruins, the U.S. Pacific Fleet is crippled, and Japan sweeps unopposed across the Pacific. America, no longer able to stand aside, rests its hope on rust-covered submarines manned by young, untested officers and crew. Four friends, newly commissioned from the U.S. Naval Academy, are thrust into the heart of the conflict. 

Alistair, a rich, entitled playboy, becomes a reluctant leader after his boat is sunk. Stranded on a remote tropical island, he and his crew wage a desperate guerrilla war against overwhelming odds. Stan, sidelined by a devastating injury, is pulled into the depths of naval intelligence. With cunning and perseverance, he struggles to unravel the Japanese naval code JP-25 and feed the vital knowledge to the sailors while staying one step ahead of the onrushing Japanese Army. Meanwhile, Fred and Brad fight the war onboard America’s latest submarines, pioneering deadly tactics beneath the waves to halt the enemy advance and rewrite the rules of warfare.

Amidst the brutal reality of naval combat, these young sailors must overcome impossible odds. Armed only with bravery, resilience, and brotherhood, they confront a ruthless enemy, determined to prove victory isn’t dictated by firepower alone.

The heroic true story of Major Richard Bong, America's top fighter pilot ace of World War II

Arriving as a fresh US Army Air Forces pilot in New Guinea in late 1942, Richard Bong wasted no time taking on the Japanese, shooting down two planes in an early skirmish-an action that earned him a Silver Star. Over the next two years, Bong would amass the US armed forces' most impressive record of aerial victories not only of WWII but in history, surpassing even the great Eddie Rickenbacker's World War I tally. In December 1944, he was personally awarded the Medal of Honor by General Douglas MacArthur. Don Keith's latest non-fiction work recounts the previously untold and compelling personal story of this true but little-known American hero.
