Missile Attack

Heroes of Vietnam, Book 6

By: Todd McLeod, Eric Meyer

Narrated by: Heath Douglass

The war in Vietnam has taken a new and deadly turn. The Communists have acquired sophisticated surface-to-air missiles, courtesy of their Russian allies.

American aircraft are going down, victim to missile batteries hidden deep in the jungles of South Vietnam, and they bring in an Air Force expert, Colonel Dan Carter, to analyze the defenses and devise a strategy to destroy them. Yet, the Vietcong gets wind of the colonel’s arrival, and plan to murder him.

Joe Cooper, Air Cav, returns from an abortive mission to grab an important and high-ranking North Vietnamese. A mission gives MACV an idea to protect their expert. Colonel Dan Mitchell is about to fly in the back seat of a Phantom F-4 to reconnoiter the Communist air defenses. If the enemy discover he is flying the mission, they will put everything they have - MiGs and AA missiles - to bring down the colonel’s aircraft.

MACV devises a plan to spoof the enemy and keep their man safe. To send a man who resembles the colonel in a different direction and draw the enemy fire. To a place he will not be safe. The man who most resembled Colonel Carter is Joe Cooper, and they are sending him to his death.

Missile Attack, book six of Heroes of Vietnam, is a short fiction set during the Vietnam War. The book is a collaboration between Todd McLeod and Eric Meyer, the best-selling author of more than 50 war novels.
