Pacific Blood

Decker's Marine Raiders Series, Book 1

De: Scott Cook

Narrado por: Dave Alexander

From the author of the USS Bull Shark Naval Thriller series comes a new companion series about WWII bravery, sacrifice, and adventure…

It's late summer on Guadalcanal, and the Japanese are getting deadlier and more aggressive by the day. Hemmed in and short on supplies, the US Marine Corps fights ferociously to maintain their tenuous hold on Henderson Field.

Major Al Decker, part of an elite unit known as the Marine Raiders, has put together a small crack team of battle-hardened men. Tasked with surveillance, hit and run attacks, and any other dirty job that’s required, it’s Decker’s Raiders that must venture out into the deadly tropical jungles and face down marauding Japanese soldiers around every corner.

When two marine flyers go down in heavily occupied Japanese territory, Decker and his men must split up and go out into the unknown to retrieve them. Deadly insects, crocodiles, and brutal tropical conditions hinder them and make them pay for every yard…and as the two teams dig deeper into enemy occupied territory, they begin to uncover signs of a massive attack by Japanese forces intent on crushing the American presence and retaking Guadalcanal.

Bullets fly, mortars thunder, and battles rage on the ground and in the skies above–can Decker’s Raiders find their men and get back to base before the mighty Imperial Army rolls over the Canal like a blood-red tsunami?

Great Story

I almost passed up this snack sized volume because it’s one credit and a 30 hour book is also one credit. But I had already read all the Bullshark and Jarvis adventures and was missing SWC’s writing and Dave’s narrations. It’s a great adventure just wish they were longer. It’s n to the next!

Pacific Blood

This is an excellent book about the actions of the Marine Raiders as they are against the.Japanese

Boom! Ooh-rah!

What an exciting ride. I did enjoy the fact that Senor Cook broke Bull Shark into 2 series. It makes each book a little smaller and a faster read. Once more, Dave Alexander does a great job and I can't wait for the next installment.

Pure Fiction

The fantastical storyline follows Marine Raiders as they cheerfully romp down the jungle trails of Guadalcanal, mowing down Japanese troops like ducks in a shooting gallery, while the Marines suffer only grazing wounds. While the story is entertaining from a purely fictional standpoint, it paints a picture of jungle combat so far from the sobering truth, that it's almost irreverent. Please keep this in mind if you decide to read it.

Good read but somewhat disjointed,
Lots of action.
The follow on hopefully will be more focused.

Love this Adventure

This was a terrific listen. Great side story from the USS Bull Shark sagas. Great to catch up with Decker and his lads.

Very good! Enjoyed

Enjoyed very much! Would recommend very highly! Narrator was great. Great story. Planning on listening to more of author’s books.
