ARMOR Audiobook Now Available!

June 15, 2020 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Available at Amazon, Audible, and iTunes, ARMOR: The Complete Series chronicles the journey of a tank crew through the Second World War, from North Africa to Berlin. Action-packed, authentic, and filled with flawed but tough men of the Greatest Generation, ARMOR drops you straight into the horror, brotherhood, and triumph of armored warfare. Enjoy the complete series as an audiobook available now–22 hours of entertainment–narrated by Garrett Michael Brown, who did an amazing job with the narration, characterizations, and a sprinkling of martial sound effects.

Listening to this book, you’ll fight alongside the crew as they go head-to-head with Tigers at Kasserine Pass, race to Palermo in Sicily, land during the horrific first assault wave at Omaha Beach, crash against the Norman hedgerows, make a stand against Hitler’s last blitzkrieg in the Battle of the Bulge, and batter their way into the heart of Nazi Germany. All the while, you’ll live with the crew in the cramped, noisy, and vulnerable fighting machine that was the American Sherman tank.

ARMOR: The Complete Series puts together for the first time all five episodes in my historical military fiction action & adventure series: The Battle of North Africa, The Fight for Sicily, Fortress Europe, The Bulge, and Reich’s Fall.

The eBook will launch June 26, and the omnibus paperback will launch around the end of the month. Thanks for reading!

April 10, 2020 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

The fourth episode of ARMOR, my WW2 tank warfare series, is now available to read in Kindle and paperback!

In ARMOR #4: THE BULGE, the Allies have chased the Wehrmacht across France, where the grand advance stalls due to supply problems and prepares for winter. But Hitler has in mind one last gamble to end the war on Germany’s Western front: the Ardennes counteroffensive, the last blitzkrieg.

Worn out by years of difficult campaigning, the veteran tankers manning a Sherman Easy Eight depart the siege of Aachen for rest, refit, and training. As panzers burst through the American lines in the Ardennes Forest, these men will enter a desperate fight against both the German Army and the brutal winter—a fight in which victory is defined as mere survival. The Battle of the Bulge.

Get it here!

JOJO RABBIT (2019)

February 22, 2020 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

Based on the novel CAGING SKIES by Christine Leunen, JOJO RABBIT (2019) is an amazing film about the clash of ideals versus grim reality, how hate becomes truth through propaganda, and the absurdity of programmed and institutional hate. I absolutely loved this one and highly recommend it.

It’s the latter half of 1944, and Nazi Germany is on the defensive. In a German city, 10-year-old JoJo Betzler has joined the Hitler Youth and wants to be an ideal Nazi, supported by his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler. When he discovers his mother is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic, he gradually questions his beliefs until rejecting the war, hate, and Hitler.

The film is best described as a comedy-drama, with both aspects presented to excellent effect thanks to director Taika Waititi, who also plays the hilarious and buffoonish Hitler. The comedy and drama work well together, highlighting the absurdity of Nazism while exposing the menace and horror of living under the Nazi regime, reinforcing rather than undermining each other. The overall effect is honest, without being overtly preachy, giving JoJo empathy when he’s at his most idealistic about Hitler, and giving him time to question his beliefs and realize Nazism is evil. The great sets, characters, directing, and cast bring it all together in one of the year’s strongest films.

ARMOR #1 Released Today!

February 7, 2020 by Craig DiLouie Leave a Comment

The first episode of ARMOR, my new WW2 tank warfare series, is now available to read in Kindle and paperback! ARMOR #1: THE BATTLE OF NORTH AFRICA takes you into the fight against Rommel in North Africa in 1942, which ended in the disastrous Battle of Kasserine Pass.

In this episode, we meet the flawed, contentious, and tough American men who crew Boomer, a Sherman tank, as they land in Algeria believing they are liberating the French only to find themselves fighting against them. Once the gunfire stops and the French are again an ally, Boomer joins a vast army slogging across the muddy Atlas Mountains to go head to head with Field Marshal Rommel, the Desert Fox himself, who teaches them a harsh lesson in the realities of armored warfare.

Fast-paced, action-packed, and authentically portraying armored combat, ARMOR puts you in the loud, smelly, dangerous, and very powerful war machine that was the Sherman tank.

Get it now here! And be sure to check out the rest of the series, which is available for pre-order. ARMOR #2: THE FIGHT FOR SICILY releases February 28.

“An instant classic of World War II historical fiction … brilliantly written, populated with realistic and entirely human characters who stay with you long after finishing the last page, and searingly, unflinchingly open about the realities of combat during World War II as experienced by the crew of an M4 Sherman medium tank.” – The Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer
