Overview

This is the story of the man who taught them how to fight. Before he commanded the 10th Mountain Division in World War II, he was a lone rider on the banks of the Marne. Bastille Day-1918. When a midnight barrage along the Marne River severs every field telephone line, cutting the Allied front line off from its artillery, First Lieutenant George ""Price"" Hays must become the lifeline of his regiment as Paris hangs in the balance. He alone must become their eyes, riding on horseback through an inferno of shellfire and mustard gas to deliver the firing coordinates that will stop the advance of thousands of German stormtroopers. The Choice Will Define Him Bound by honor-and a promise to his late father-Price rides not only for duty, but for love. Clara, the colonel's brilliant daughter, offers one future; Julia, an insightful librarian, offers another. Between his heroic duty and a survivor's heart, he must decide what-and whom-he truly serves. The Rock of the Marne In the decisive moment that will turn the tide of WWI, outnumbered three-to-two and outgunned two-to-one, the U.S. 3rd Division faces a terrifying barrage of heavy, low-flying Minenwerfer mortars-dubbed ""flying pigs""-designed to shatter their lines. With their orders absolute-""We Shall Remain Here""-Price's division makes its stand, earning its immortal nickname. Inspired by the Medal of Honor citation for First Lieutenant George P. Hays-who rode on as seven horses fell-The Tenth Station is a gripping novel of integrity, sacrifice, and a love that becomes his only map home-an unwavering light on one of history's darkest nights. A LEGEND BEGINS AT THE MARNE From the author of The Tenth Trail Mark and the forthcoming The Tenth Command-the WWII saga of the 10th Mountain Division under General George Price Hays-Joe Looby takes us back to where the legend began.
