The Marine Raiders were the best of the best of the best. An elite Marine unit assembled to do the things no one else could do. They were one of many attempts to create a special forces unit before the modern special forces, and like all of the others, they were retired in time. Disbanded and absorbed back into their parent force. The Marines. But when the son of the President of the United States walks up to former Marine Raiders and tells them he has a mission for the Marine Raiders, any man worth his salt answers that call. History does not record that the Marine Raiders performed one more mission in 1945, against a threat that never deployed, on a train that no longer existed, heading to a submarine that never set sail for America. But the threats were real. Everything was there. What if all of them came together in one point in time and space? What if the “Last Ride on the Asia Express” really happened? Should you ever meet Captain William Carter in person, maybe you could ask him. Maybe he would smile. Maybe.

You can read “Last Ride on the Asia Express” in “The Big Ones,” an anthology of alternate tales of World War II by Raconteur Press.
