Call for Blood takes readers into the seldom discussed world of crimes and atrocities committed by the Unit 731, as the daring agents set out with a vengeance to prevent further experimentations and deaths of Allied prisoners, in this captivating and unique thriller.
Thriller fans will relish in the danger, as Preston’s team of Allied agents, Miles Murphy, Henri Morreau and George Linka, traverse a deadly landscape behind Japanese lines, parachuting into enemy territory, and dodging Japanese patrols and assassins dead set on stopping them.
Call for Blood is filled with exciting covert operations that keep the reader anxious to get to the next page. The novel is based, in part, on the true story and the covert activities of an American Army counter-intelligence agent and his ‘special mission’ team that takes the battle to the Japanese. You will walk through the elements with the team as they traverse dense jungles and steep ravines to engage the brutal and sadistic Imperial Japanese Army.
There is no lack of action when the agents plan and execute high-risk operations to free hundreds of Allied prisoners of war. Tension builds as the agents raid Japanese prison camps where Allied prisoners are being systematically exterminated by an illegal biological and chemical research program conducted by a secret Japanese Imperial Army organization called Unit 731.

Amazon Review - Jan 18, 2016
The legend of Jon Preston continues. In war there are real victims and real heroes. This is the second book on one of America's greatest heroes, Jon Preston. Steve Doherty's style put me into Asia during WWII where I could see and feel what it took to win the war and provided a view of true evil. The story flows with details that make it real and yet is an easy read. Yikes ... where is the next one?
