Yes, I watched the debate. But since it took place the day before the greatest attack on America since Pearl Harbor, suck it Kamala, I really didn’t want to burn my once a day update on it. So what did I think of it? Trump was one against three, and everybody accused him of lying, even when he was telling the straight truth, and the moderators never fact checked Kamala when she lied. They lobbed exploding questions at him and soft balls to Kamala. They asked him how he could be such a bad person and then asked Kamala how she felt about him being such a bad person. Kamala spoke her memorized lines well, but her voice was cloying, her facial ticks were obnoxious, and she spent most of her time insulting Trump. Trump spent too much time responding to her attacks, sounded too whiny too much of the time, and did not spend enough time reminding people of his policies. It was a bad debate, and the only winner was Voyager, who has already managed to leave the solar system behind…

Captain William Carter has a long and distinguished history serving America. In this third story published by Raconteur Press, he serves as one of Carlson’s Marine Raiders in World War II, fighting the Japanese in the island hopping campaign all the way to war’s end. And he absolutely never goes to Japanese Manchuria to hijack a shipment of weapons taking their “Last Ride on the Asia Express.” The Asia Express was shut down years ago, and the Marine Raiders don’t even exist anymore. So none of that happened. History is clear on that point. But if you want to read about a Marine Raider mission that never happened, check out the Big Ones…

Why would the Japanese send one of the three largest submarines in the world to Manchuria to load up on enough fuel to sail around the world? What would it take for America to send Carlson’s Marine Raiders on one last raid into Manchuria? What could make the Japanese put together the fastest express train in Manchuria for one last run? Get the Big Ones from Raconteur Press, an alternate history anthology of World War II, to find out what never happened on the “Last Ride on the Asia Express.” Or did it?
