The common theme among these books is the mission to rescue someone or something from danger or captivity. The rescues range from real-life events, such as the Gulf War and World War II, to fictional adventures involving animals, fairies, and wizards. The protagonists of these stories are often brave individuals who risk their lives to save others, and the missions involve danger, suspense, and sometimes magic.
