Publisher's summary
CIA officer Rene Granier heads up a covert team of specialists out to hunt down and annihilate the very heart of the Viet Cong. Will their merciless tactics shorten the war? Will it be worth the price?
In 1966, the Vietnam War rages with no end in sight. The Americans try everything in their power to stop the flow of arms to the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces in the south, but nothing works. The generals at the Pentagon underestimated their enemy and the army of dedicated civilians maintaining the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The Americans must do something fast and significant to turn the tide. Arclight, Iron Hand, Riverine, and Keyman are all unproven concepts that could change the course of the war. Will they work?
The Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese have their own plans on how to defeat their enemy. Like a worm on a hook, they use their soldiers as bait to draw the allied forces into ambushes and unleash their human-wave assaults. The more the communists fight, the less they fear. Even the Americans and their technology can be defeated.
A young photojournalist is there to record history and reveal the ugly realities of war to the world. But Vietnam is not what she expects, and neither is the thrill of danger she feels.
Like all the books in the Airmen Series, Beyond Courage is based on historical events and real people. Its pages are filled with combat action and heart-stopping suspense.

Story
In 1967, something has changed, and not in a good way. For the first time, the communists are holding territory that they have captured near the borders of Laos and North Vietnam. It could be that the leaders in Hanoi want to secure supply and reinforcement routes into South Vietnam… or it could be something far more nefarious. The communists’ new strategy is an opportunity for the U.S. military and its allies to finally engage their enemy in a large-scale, set-piece battle that would allow American airpower and artillery to destroy a massive enemy force. It’s tempting bait. Such a ...

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.
