Operator #5 #32 Patriot's Death March

The Purple invader lorded it over the East, straddled the Rockies, rolled his guns ruthlessly westward to crush the last American defenders. But men who are willing to die for their country can never be completely licked! And Operator #5, leading a gallant handful, began a miracle march to seize a deadly treasure, rally an army, and fling the enemy a new, grim challenge on an unsuspected front! Jimmy Christopher belonged to the clean-cut, square-jaw, clear-eyed breed of hero made popular by the F. B. I. back in those grim days. Even with that wholesome, image, Jimmy came well armed and prepared. He carried a Colt automatic and wore a flexible rapier concealed in the hollow of his leather belt. A gold skull ornament dangled from a vest-pocket watch chain. It contained a fast-acting poison in case of capture by enemy agents.

Originally aided by a small group of trusted assistants, Jimmy Christopher was a one-man defense force. Proud and patriotic, expert marksman and swordsman, he is the best America has to offer in a time of severe trial. This would change, however, with the coming of the Purple Invasion. Gone was the camaraderie of a team exchanged for the trust and betrayal that only war can bring. Jimmy went from being clean cut to a hardened soldier, still proving to be exactly what America needed him to be. Can a beaten, subjugated nation fight back — and win? America was doing it!

Starting out with a handful of ragged, desperate men, Operator #5 went doggedly about the hopeless task of transporting his precious store of guns and ammunition — across two thousand miles of enemy territory — to our last crumbling defenses in the Far West. March with this swelling, triumphant legion of hungry patriots — in the greatest, most stirring epic of military history!

Patriot's Death March is read with stirring intensity by Milton Bagby.
