Devil's Guard - The Complete Series Box Set Kindle Edition

The complete SIX-BOOK bestselling series that has sold over a million copies. Devil’s Guard traces the exploits of a German who fought in World War II on the Eastern Front, and went on to fight for the French and then the Americans in Vietnam. This massive volume includes the complete text of the novels DEVIL’S GUARD: BLOOD AND SNOW, DEVIL’S GUARD: BLOOD AND IRON, DEVIL’S GUARD: THE REAL STORY, DEVIL’S GUARD: VIETNAM, DEVIL’S GUARD: COUNTERATTACK, AND DEVIL’S GUARD: AFGHANISTAN. These epic novels are a breathtaking account of the harsh, brutal reality of one man’s war.

Jurgen Hoffman’s grueling career takes him from the vast snowy wastelands of the Russian Steppes, all the way to the steaming jungles of Vietnam. His enemy shouts the same, shrill slogans, and uses the same weapons. On the Eastern Front in Russia, they call themselves communists. In Vietnam, they are the Vietcong. Their motivation is the same. Killing, and more killing. To subdue and terrorize those who would challenge their absolute authority.

This is a fictional tale of the part one man played in the long, bloody battles. It is also the story of millions of fighting men. Of their guns, their tanks, their airplanes, and for some, their women.

Six full length novels. A rip roaring read from the first page to the last.

This box-set includes every book in the bestselling Devil’s Guard series:

DEVIL’S GUARD: BLOOD AND SNOW

It is February 1943 in the snowy wastes around Kharkov, in the Soviet Union. Stalingrad has fallen and a resurgent Soviet army is pushing the German forces back. Newly commissioned Jurgen Hoffman takes up his posting with SS Division Das Reich, part of von Manstein's Army Group South. He soon displays formidable military talents in a series of brutal, hard fought actions, but he finds his enemies do not all wear Russian uniform.
DEVIL’S GUARD: BLOOD AND IRON

The second thrilling book in the Devil's Guard series. The SS Officer Jurgen Hoffman has another battle to face. Kursk, the showdown between German and Soviet armor. The story begins before the battle when the commanders of both sides are fighting an intelligence war. Sent on a mission behind the lines into the heavily defended Kursk salient, Hoffman and the remnants of his platoon fight their way back to their own lines.

DEVIL’S GUARD: THE REAL STORY

The French Foreign Legion recruited widely from German soldiers left unemployed and homeless by the defeat of Germany in 1945. They offered a new identity and passport to men who could bring their fighting skills to the jungles and rice paddies of what was to become Vietnam. They were ruthless, trained killers, brutalized by the war on the Eastern Front, their murderous abilities honed to a razor's edge.

DEVIL’S GUARD: VIETNAM

There is to be no respite for the Waffen-SS veterans who fought for the French against the Vietcong. Some of the veterans still fight the communists, but this time for the Americans. Jurgen Hoffman and Paul Schuster are compelled to use their brutal fighting skills and expert knowledge of the terrain to once more wage a secret war in the steaming cauldron of the South East Asian jungle. The Devil's Guard is on the march again.

DEVIL’S GUARD: COUNTERATTACK

It is 1968, and the fighting in Vietnam escalates. Body counts continue to rise, and the fighter-bombers and gunships prowl the skies in the relentless hunt for their elusive enemy. Jurgen Hoffman is no longer in uniform. He runs a small civilian airline, with other old comrades from his time with the French Foreign Legion. They have left the war behind, until their hopes of peace are abruptly shattered.

DEVIL’S GUARD: AFGHANISTAN

The war in Vietnam is over, yet the descendants of those who fought there are pulled into a new war. Afghanistan. Flying freight for his bush pilot airline, Max Hoffman, descendant of an alternative agenda – personal gain and profit at any cost.

What a great read. From Russia, to French foreign Legion in the Indo China arena, through Viet Nam and finally into the Mountains of Afghanistan. A great insight into the politics of fighting a war.Seen from the pilots view and the ground troops. Enjoy the history lesson.

I really enjoyed these 5 stories, the way they were tied together, and their characters development. I would have liked more follow on for story one and how it's characters got out of Russia and then Germany. I also felt that Max' s character was at times a little weak, and very gullible. Thanks for an interesting read.

The storyline is good. THE LACK OF EDITING, ESPECIALLY COPY EDITING IS EGREGIOSLY BAD! The second book opens with numerous typos - annoying to a fault. How about hiring a good editor. It can only enhance your sales!

This is a 5 star marathon book. I'm old enough to have lived all these wars, including WWII to the present day. This series should be required reading for all history majors. It's a fantastic blend of fiction and truth, superbly written.

5.0 out of 5 stars W.E.B. Griffin Would Approve!

The Devil's Guard box set is in W.E.B. Griffin style a riveting account that takes historical military facts, battles, important personages and a fictional set of main characters from the brutal freezing temperatures of the Eastern Front in WWII to the steaming humid jungles of North Vietnam via the French Foreign Legion and the fight with the Viet Minh. The tale continues with the fictional Jurgen Hoffman and a few veterans who also served in the battles on the Eastern Front in the past to his new civilian venture as a pilot and owner of a small struggling airline now with the American military fighting Communism taking over the the battle in South Vietnam fighting the Viet Cong. Now we find ourselves weaving treacherous involvements, betrayals, and missions connected to the American Military and an interlude or two with the schemes of the C.I.A. Years pass and we find ourselves in yet another war in Asia only this time in the harsh and difficult conditions of Afghanistan, the Khyber Pass and into parts of Peshawar, Islamabad, Pakistan and back and forth so many times your head will spin. This time the fictional main character is Jürgen Hoffman's grandson Max who is also a pilot and still running his Grandfather's and then his Grandmother's airline Helen's Air. Like his predecessors he also is running it on a wing and a prayer until it fails. The C.I.A. saves the day or do they? More lies and deceit and Max and company are thrown into a military situation he is ill prepared for! Enough of of a teaser...I highly recommend this exciting historical read. I had my lap top set to Google Earth and Google to look up actual geographical locations in all the various countries and the other to check out the various vehicles, tanks, aircraft, weapons and equipment being used in the various wars and time periods. Buy the box set!

This series followed the life of a young german through this first days on the eastern front to end. Then on to his adopted country of france in the service of the FFL in indochina then onto his business venture s into the R of South Vietnam. Who knows how much is true or not, but certainly many of the facts are true and it is for this reason I enjoyed to books. I'm not a sifi person, just historic. So long as some of the facts can be verified I'm okay with it.

Very enjoyable romp through three War Zones. In different times. From the Russian Front in world war II. To Vietnam and finally Afghanistan. Eric Meyer leads you through each book at a blistering pace, the action is none stop and I found it very difficult to put down.

It took a while for my brain to disengage from the original devil's guard book and re-adjust to this box set.. but Eric Meyer writes in a way that suits the way I read so I find it easy to fully immerse myself in them. That is a purely personal rating.
