Synopsis

A desperate and bloody defense in the early days of WWII.
Hours after the fateful attack on Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Army invades Luzon. The allies retreat to the Bataan Peninsula and the ensuing bloody battle sets the tone for the entirety of the war in the Pacific.
Far from home and abandoned, the brave GIs and Filipinos fight the Japanese to a standstill. Long months of bloody fighting take their toll on both sides, however, the Japanese have reserves, the allies don’t.
Sergeant Tarkington and the soldiers of the 1st platoon are put to the ultimate test. With dwindling supplies and constant harassment from the battle-hardened Japanese, the GIs must adapt and become a cohesive fighting unit if they hope to survive.
Tark’s Ticks is the first book in a gritty WWII series. Pick up your copy today.

About Chris Glatte

Chris Glatte received his Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Oregon in 1992.

He loves reading a good war novel, but often finds world war two fiction to be missing the brutality and grittiness of the world's most violent conflict. He strives to fill that gap and honor our veterans by keeping his stories gritty. His readers won't find romance but hard hitting combat action.

He lives in the hills of Southern Oregon overlooking the amazing Rogue Valley. When he's not writing or reading, he's spending time with his wife and two sons, usually on a river or a mountain.
