| From the acclaimed author of I Am Legend and What Dreams May Come, a powerful novel of young soldiers thrown into the fury of combat during the final weeks of World War II. In 1944, long before he wrote his classic novels, eighteen-year-old Richard Matheson served as a replacement in the 87th Division during the latter part of the war in Europe. His tour of duty there inspired The Beardless Warriors, a gripping tale of inexperienced soldiers fighting their way across Germany. Everett "Hack" Hackermeyer, the latest soldier to join the squad, is a troubled youth from a hellish family background. On the front lines, he faces a new kind of inferno, only to discover hidden reserves he never knew he possessed. Ironically, he doesn't come to value his own life until he runs the very real chance of losing it. Under fire and in over their heads, these fresh-faced young men must grow up fast if they ever hope to see home again. The Beardless Warriors is a haunting portrayal of the harsh realities of war and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. |
