About this listen
Lieutenant Ducan has a political fugitive in his ranks....
Ethiopia, 1976
A rebel without a cause, Lieutenant Simon Ducan is bored with desk duty and longs for excitement and danger. When he is drafted into the brutal French Foreign Legion, the undistinguished lieutenant has a chance to prove himself.
In the blistering terrain of Ethiopia, Ducan is tasked with finding "the Fox" - a valuable Russian defector seeking protection from the Legion. But when he receives word that three women are being held ransom by rival forces, his mission becomes a thrilling chase across the desert.
With all his men operating under assumed identities, Ducan must work out who he can trust. And when the legionnaires' enemies begin to catch up with them, he is thrown into a desperate race against time to uncover "the Fox" before more lives are lost....

Story
Vietnam, 1968—United States Air Force reconnaissance photos appear to show a newly built POW camp close to the DMZ. Special Forces Captain Mack Gerber and Master Sergeant Anthony B. Fetterman are sent into the jungles of North Vietnam to take a closer look. Instead of a POW compound, they discover a Soviet-run training camp for the NVA. American military officials believe a Russian presence could severely undermine the US war effort in Vietnam. The only option is to launch a raid into North Vietnam. Gerber's men now have a new mission: go in with guns blazing . . . and get out alive.

Anyone living in Rhodesia during the 1960s and 1970s would have had a father, husband, brother, or son called up in the defense of the war-torn, landlocked little country. A few of these brave men would have been members of the elite and secretive unit that struck terror into the hearts of the ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas infiltrating the country at that time - the Selous Scouts.

Story
More than one hundred years after Columbus blundered onto Hispaniola, the West Indies are held in Spain's iron fist, and no threat to that absolute rule is tolerated. But such total control cannot last, and one threat will emerge as the most dangerous of all: the buccaneers. Camped on the shore of Hispaniola, these half-wild men eke out a living hunting the island's feral livestock. Among them, Jean-Baptiste LeBoeuf lives out his exile, content that no one in the hunters' camp is curious about his past. But when a hurricane sweeps through the Caribbean, it upends their rough existence.
