Duty: Suspense and mystery stories from the Cold War and beyond.

By Martin Roy Hill

War does not end when the guns fall silent.

In DUTY, Martin Roy Hill brings together a collection of military and suspense stories exploring the courage, fear, and moral choices faced by those who serve-and those who carry the memories long after the battlefield is gone.

In the title story, "Duty," a Cold War soldier finds himself caught in a terrifying confrontation where one decision could trigger World War III. In "Something Far Away," a former Coast Guardsman must confront the ghosts of a past he thought he had left behind. A Navy investigator discovers that some secrets aboard a nuclear aircraft carrier refuse to stay buried in "Destroyer Turns."

During the final days of the Cold War, a retired intelligence officer embarks on one last dangerous mission in "Brandenberg's Diaries." Across generations, soldiers face the enduring curse of combat in "The Stragglers." And in "The Use of Innocence," a Vietnam veteran must decide whether to warn a younger generation about the true cost of war.

From the tensions of the Cold War to the aftermath of Vietnam, these stories explore the meaning of honor, loyalty, sacrifice, and duty-and the invisible battles that continue long after the fighting ends.

For readers who enjoy military fiction, Cold War thrillers, espionage stories, and powerful tales of veterans facing the consequences of war.
