Steve Doherty’s riveting World War II fiction book Call for Blood will be out on shelves soon. Doherty‘s military experience as an Air force officer gives him great insight into the world of military fiction. Doherty’s previous novel in the series Operation King Cobra is also an engaging read for historical fiction buffs. Operation King Cobra showcases the heroism and gravitas of covert operations in South East Asia during the Second World War. Doherty unearths and captures the chaos, atrocities, and intrigue of an exotic theatre of World War II that isn’t widely popularized. Historical fiction book fans looking for a new topic to become obsessed over will enjoy Doherty’s fresh perspective. These daring action adventure books should please historical fiction fans with plots that “will hold the attention of any reader, young or old.” - Brad Chase, former Special Agent, US Army Counter Intelligence Corps Military fiction book fans will relish in the danger, as the hero’s traverse a deadly landscape. “It is filled with exciting missions and covert operations that kept me anxious to get to the next page.”- Ken from Columbus, Ohio Amazon.com review. Operation King Cobra and Call for Blood centers around the covert activities of OSS agent John Preston and his two S.O.E comrades in arms. Doherty will take you through the elements as the heroes traverse dense jungles and steep ravines. Bringing you tense moments when the three special operatives move through the lush vegetation, dodging crocodiles and narrowly avoiding Japanese patrols. There is no lack of action when the trio takes part in daring raids to prevent Japanese sabotage operations. Recall such films as The Bridge on the River Kwai, as the men plan and execute a high risk operation to free prisoners of war. Both Call for Blood and Operation King Cobra explore the little known heinous Japanese military outfit Unit 731. For fans of historical war fiction this will be sure to be a rewarding plot, as the crimes committed by Unit 731 in particular are seldom discussed amongst the wider historical community. The men set out to prevent this nefarious Japanese unit’s use of biological weapons in a captivating and unique fictional World War II plot.
