Killing Ground - Paperback

by James Rouch (Author)

COURAGEOUS WARRIORS TAKE ONE FINAL STAND IN THE RADIOACTIVE WASTELAND OF THE FUTURE!

Mankind's final war continues in the contaminated strip of post-nuclear European hell known as The Zone. Drowning in a savage deluge of Soviet Warpac missiles, subjected to seemingly endless, round-the-clock air strikes, the brave but exhausted remnants of NATO's Special Combat Company are forced to fall back across the gutted, radioactive wasteland of West Germany. But American Major Revell and British Sergeant Hyde are sick of retreating. They want to hit back at the ruthless Russian aggressors, and hit back hard! In a huge, abandoned ammunition dump, Revell and Hyde prepare to rally their decimated forces for one explosive last stand against the overwhelming enemy. But in the face of an unstoppable Soviet advance, it will take much more than raw courage to survive in... THE ZONE.

Author Biography

James Rouch has been a full-time author for thirty years. In that time he has had fourteen books published. Three of them are novels of the Second World War. TIGER, set in Northern France during the breakout from the Normandy beachhead. THE WAR MACHINES, set in North Africa and GATEWAY TO HELL, dealing with the fighting for Monte Cassino in Italy. They were all published in the UK and the USA by major publishers and all went to reprints with translation rights sold in Spain and many other countries. A series of novels entitled THE ZONE has comprised the rest of his output. Again on the subject of war their theme is an alternative near future where the Berlin Wall did not fall. Instead the cold war suffered meltdown. A war across Europe imploded, concentrating itself in a great contaminated swathe of territory slashed across the continent, a huge no-mans land, THE ZONE.
