The Long Walk

On December 16, 1944, the mad man, Adolf Hitler, launched a massive counterattack against Allied forces who were freezing their butts off in the Ardennes Forests of Belgium. We were caught totally off guard when more than a quarter million crack German troops and hundreds of high quality tanks descended upon our positions

The German offensive was led by the elite XLVII Panzer Corps. Hitler had launched his final gamble on these snow-covered forests. They thought the inferior, non-master race of Americans would just rollover and give up. But we stopped them cold in small forgotten towns and many unknown battles.

The smell of death, blood, and fear became our only brother. Hell is for heroes. They stay there for all of eternity. Oh no, we aren't heroes. We’re just walking through hell, until we can crawl back out. We have a job to do. That’s why we’re here. The SS death heads are going to taste their own blood now.

The Dead Never Sleep, a WWII historical fiction book, is a nonstop action thriller set in the Ardennes forests during the Battle of the Bulge. It concerns a group of worn out GIs who slowed the Nazi war machine down in one of the forgotten side battles during the end of German Operation Mist.
