Dare All Dangers chronicles the 741st Tank Battalion during World War II. The battalion waged a grueling war that began on D-Day when twenty-seven of its amphibious tanks sank, and hapless crewmen perished in the frigid water. Other tanks from the battalion successfully landed that day, and their crews battled on Omaha beach before carrying the fight inland. After a hard-won victory in Normandy, the battalion paraded through Paris, motoring down the Champs-Élysées, greeted by waving, screaming crowds. The euphoria of a liberated people enveloped the tankers, but the war and its agonies pulled them back. The 741st plunged into combat along Germany''s Westwall and fell into a muddy, grinding stalemate throughout the autumn. The impasse finally ended with the Battle of the Bulge when an SS Panzer Division slammed into the battalion. The defending GIs prevailed during the bitter, wintertime struggle. Shifting to offensive operations, the battalion swept across Germany, tangling with Tiger tanks and deadly Flak guns as the Third Reich died in a firestorm of its own making. The war ended for the 741st in Czechoslovakia on V-E Day, where the surviving tank crewmen found themselves mobbed by another exuberant, liberated population. Fifty years after the war, the book''s author, Bill Warnock, commenced work on a narrative about the valiant crewmen and their exploits. The book brings alive the savvy and raw courage it took to survive and achieve victory. Its words capture the sounds, images, and explicit details of armored warfare. As one veteran said, "God never made any finer men than good soldiers." The 741st proved it, time and again.

"Now battlefield investigators have enlisted the aid of Bulge veterans from the 99th Infantry Division for one last mission: to reconstruct the battles that took the lives of their brothers-in-arms, search the grounds where lives and innocence ended, and return the remains of missing comrades to their loved ones. Using good old-fashioned detective work, with assistance from forensic scientists, the team has fulfilled the final duty every soldier has to his fallen comrades." "The Dead of Winter is a story of loyalty and the bonds of war, a scientific mystery, and a harrowing and emotional journey of tragedy and triumph for the families who never forgot what was lost."--BOOK JACKET.

Best selling crime-fiction author, Jack Danziger, discovers that the film rights for his one highly personal novel–which details his passionate relationship with his beautiful international model ex-lover, Chantal–have been acquired by his deadly enemy, Kurtz, genius movie maker and psychotic. As an act of revenge upon Danziger, whom he hates, Kurtz, who has a Svengali-like hold on the girl, intends to turn the book into the ultimate pornographic fantasy; one that will ruin Chantal''s career, and maybe threaten her life. The only way to prevent her destruction by Kurtz and the circus of crazies with whom he surrounds himself, is for the soft-living Danziger to take on the tough persona of his own fictional invention, "Lieutenant McKnight'', and follow, step by step, the most dangerous plot he has ever written–an obsessive game plan for real-life that takes him in a deadly direction. As the pages roll off his word processor, and as Danziger hardens himself up physically for the desperate things he must do, a complex scam develops that will rock the film industry to its heels–and result in a final bloody confrontation with Kurtz.
