In the Pacific jungle, survival is more than a mission, it's a war of its own.
August 1943. The war has shifted to the steaming, unforgiving terrain of New Guinea, where the 6th Ranger Battalion trains for operations unlike anything in Europe. The enemy is not just armed and hidden?it's the jungle itself, with its crushing heat, endless mud, and dangers that never sleep.
Sergeant Charlie O'Conner knows what it takes to fight behind enemy lines. But in this new theater, skill alone won't keep a man alive. Every step is shadowed by unseen eyes, every breath tastes of sweat and gunpowder, and every order could lead straight into an ambush. Side by side with hardened Rangers and fierce Filipino guerrillas, O'Conner must adapt to a war fought without front lines, where discipline meets improvisation and only the sharpest survive.
Rangers, O'Conner ? Book 2 is a gritty, historically accurate WWII novel set in the Pacific theater. Fans of realistic military fiction, U.S. Army Ranger history, and pulse-pounding special operations will find themselves in the thick of the action?feeling the mud under their boots, the weight of their weapon, and the pressure of making the right call before it's too late.
Perfect for readers of Mark Greaney, Jack Higgins, and WWII special operations histories, this is a story of grit, survival, and the unbreakable bond between men who fight in the world's harshest conditions.
