Today’s the day! Hell’s Eden is now available to read at Amazon!
The Marines called it Starvation Island. The Imperial Japanese Army called it the Island of Death. The battle for Guadalcanal, which began in August 1942 and took six months to complete, saw the 1st Marine Division effectively cut off and under constant siege with few supplies. Marked by hunger, disease, massed nighttime bayonet charges by the enemy, and constant shelling and bombing, the campaign proved a turning point in the war.
From Craig DiLouie, author of the highly acclaimed Crash Dive and Armor series and other popular WWII fiction, Hell’s Eden tells the story of Guadalcanal through the eyes of a Marine and his rifle squad. Well-trained and tough but always looking to game the system for a little comfort, they tangle not only with the Japanese but the brass.
Hell’s Eden offers a gritty, savage, and humorous portrait of this crucial campaign that saw America on offense against the seemingly invincible Japanese Empire—examining what keeps men fighting in the face of harrowing odds.
The novel dropped today on Amazon and is now available to read in Kindle eBook, trade paperback, and audiobook formats.
I hope you enjoy the adventure. Thanks for reading!
