Publisher's summary

Hell’s Choir of Killers!

The quiet of the jungle is shattered by a single command. The air fills with voices of death. A Texas cattle call. An Apache war whoop. A piercing scream of bloody blue murder. And a killing chorus of zinging hot lead. A mighty green wave surges up the hill. The Rat Bastards are on the rampage, and what the enemy began, they are about to finish.... The Rat Bastards.

Editorial reviews

Len Levinson's explosive, pulpy war adventure seamlessly interweaves two narratives featuring the "rat bastards" of the Recon Platoon. The first chronicles the wild erotic exploits of soldiers LaBarbara and Butsko with the nurses at a hospital in New Caledonia, and the second takes place on the front lines of Guadalcanal as Sgt. Bannon's platoon clashes with Japanese forces.

Veteran film and TV actor Ray Porter's fearless performance confidently shifts gears between the hard-hitting realism of the battlefield and the bawdy, sexually charged antics of LaBarbara and Butsko. Think The Dirty Dozen reimagined as a raunchy late-night cable movie.

Ends Mid-Sentence?!

I love this series - You cannot go wrong with Len Levinson. He is fantastic at making you feel like you are there in the middle of the action. Ray Porter does an amazing job narrating this series; he is great with the various voices. My only complaint and why it’s not 5-stars across the board is a production issue. The story ends mid-sentence. I have no idea how the story ends. I’m going to track down one of the paperbacks to see what happened.

Cuts off at the ending

Cuts off the last chapter at the ending. Not sure what is going on with that.
