HOGS #4 is finally here!
Things were looking bleak at Fort Apache, the desolate US outpost 100 miles inside Iraqi terrotory when Hogs #3 ended. But you can continue the adventures in HOGS #4: SNAKE EATERS, the newest in the 1991 GULF WAR AIR COMBAT SERIES, now available on KINDLE! JUST $5.99!
Find out what happens to all the Hogs heroes: weapons expert Bristol Wong, captured by elite Iraqi forces; "BJ" Dixon, wounded, starving and left for dead; Tech Sgt.Becky Rosen fixing helicopters in the war zone she's not allowed to be in; and Devil Squadron mates Doberman Glenon and A-Bomb O'Rourke, tasked with destroying a chemical weapons depot, who face Iraqi MiG pilots out to stop them. Can a Hog go up against a MiG and return alive?
A breed apart, the A-10A Warthog fighter-bombers and the gutsy pilots who flew them helped win Operation Desert Storm in the 1991 First Gulf War.
Jim DeFelice's long-out-of-print 1991 Gulf War air combat series, HOGS, puts you right in the cockpit, as an eyewitness to all the blazing action. Don't know much about the First Gulf War? In August 1990, Saddam Hussein of Iraq invaded its tiny neighbor Kuwait. The UN condemned the attack, imposing an economic boycott. President George H. Bush formed an international military coalition to chase Iraqi troops out of Kuwait. Aerial bombardment started on January 17, 1991, led by the unlikely A-10A Warthog - a much dissed, ugly-as-sin fighter-bomber that proved to have few equals for the kind of down-in-the-sand, close-in, air-to-ground combat need to win this war.
"White-hot action" and "intelligent heroes" are the prime ingredients in all Jim DeFelice books. From his first 1992 NY Times bestselling novel "Coyote Bird" [a high-flying "man vs. doomsday machine" thriller], DeFelice has written more than 30 high-energy, thought-provoking books and short stories, featuring male and female heroes both fictional and real.
"I'm one of those people who has a lot of interests and I've been very lucky to be able to pursue them," DeFelice says. "I'm best known for military and spy thrillers, especially 'Leopards Kill,' and probably for my collaborations with Dick Marcinko [Rogue Warrior series], Steve Coonts [Deep Black], Dale Brown [Dreamland/Whiplash], and Larry Bond [First Team/Red Dragon Rising.]"
