About this listen
The Fight for the Pass is book six of Fierce Girls at War.
“It’s not fair! Nobody told me I was supposed to wear socks with my new combat boots!” (Montana Hernandez, age 15, second year student, New Hope Academy)
“At least she was wearing a bra with her girlie panties unlike some of them! And we’re supposed to train them to fight demon wolves? Please, just kill me now!” (Sergeant Miruku Nakamura, comm tech, CTL Cairo)
It’s time to begin training the students, and teachers from the New Hope Academy who survived the crash of the Cairo to fight like colonial rangers. They have just two months to get ready before the lake and river in their mountain valley freezes and the deadly demon wolves come down to eat them, and the aliens may come before that.
Not all are prepared for what they are in for. Gunnery Sergeant Molly Pickford has designed a special "hell week" for them, and the trainees will begin their first day of training while Pickford and Commander Rick Cassidy begin their check of the valley to see if it’s safe to go outside the crashed transport. The first casualty lists come in. One of the missing is the father of one of the girls on Cairo.
The Rift commander reviews the progress of his campaign to take back the planet with his senior officers and what they have learned from the battles. They have taken Southport, New Cancun, and are closing in on New St Louis. The Rift and their primitive but powerful mercenaries troops will move on the passage through the mountains east of Winter Haven, known as McKinley Pass, next. Major Claudia Stairs organizes the defense.
On the inbound Asia, Rick Cassidy’s daughter Ciara is working with some of the female officers among the rangers onboard to improve their marksmanship in the virtual reality trainer where she now holds the highest scores on the ship. In North America, a malware attack starts playing havoc with the ship’s systems. Rick’s sisters Chloe and Nicole get ready for their departure for the colony on the Australia.

Story
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

In this book, Ken Wiley, a Coast Guardsman on an Attack Transport in the Pacific, relates the intricate, often nerve-wracking story of how the United States projected its power across 6,000 miles in the teeth of fanatical Japanese resistance.

Here, in his own words, is the true story of America's wildest flying hero, of his extraordinary heroism, and of his greatest battle of all-the fight to survive. The World War II air war in the Pacific needed tough men like Colonel Pappy Boyington and his Black Sheep Squadron. The legendary Marine Corps officer and his bunch of misfits, outcasts, and daredevils gave a new definition to "hell-raising" - on the ground and in the skies.

Story
Relive six decades of flying helicopters, including an extended tour in Vietnam and the mountains of Afghanistan, with a little Iraq, Kuwait, and National Guard thrown in. This is Minuteman: Two, Three…Go! recounts Wayne Chasson’s times, from the early, young, and dumb days to becoming a more seasoned pilot of Huey and other helicopters in three American wars and the National Guard here at home. Chasson relives it all for us in this gritty and honest memoir — with humility, humor, and gratitude — as he himself is still trying to figure out how he made it through alive.

Story
In April of 1972, near the end of the Vietnam War, SEAL Lieutenant Tom Norris performed an unprecedented ground rescue of two American airmen who were shot down behind enemy lines in North Vietnam, a feat for which he would be awarded the Medal of Honor. Just six months later, Norris was sent on a dangerous special reconnaissance mission that would take his team deep into enemy territory. In the running gun battle that ensued, Lieutenant Norris was severely wounded; a bullet entered his left eye and exited the left side of his head.

The images of soldiers and marines coming ashore on hostile shores are embedded in our collective memory of World War II. But what of the sailors who manned the landing craft, going back and forth under fire with nowhere to take cover, their craft the special targets of enemy gunners? In this book, Ken Wiley, a Coast Guardsman on an Attack Transport in the Pacific, relates the intricate, often nerve-wracking story of how the United States projected its power across 6,000 miles in the teeth of fanatical Japanese resistance.

Here, in his own words, is the true story of America's wildest flying hero, of his extraordinary heroism, and of his greatest battle of all-the fight to survive. The World War II air war in the Pacific needed tough men like Colonel Pappy Boyington and his Black Sheep Squadron. The legendary Marine Corps officer and his bunch of misfits, outcasts, and daredevils gave a new definition to "hell-raising" - on the ground and in the skies.

Story
Developed specifically for the Vietnam War, Swift Boats were versatile craft "big enough to outrun anything they couldn't outfight" but too small to handle even a moderate ocean chop, too loud to sneak up on anyone, and too flimsy to withstand the mildest of rocket attacks. This made more difficult an already tough mission: navigating coastal waters for ships and sampans smuggling contraband to the Viet Cong, disrupting enemy supply lines on the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta, and inserting SEALs behind enemy lines.
