But Cordelia soon discovers the final novel in the series, the incredibly rare Commando Gold, is all but impossible to track down. The books' creator-real name Monty Harrington, once a promising young poet and now a depraved drunk-proves easier to find. Writing pulp war stories didn't come naturally to Monty. Until he met someone who knew all about such stuff during a pub crawl; a genuine ex-commando who, for the price of a pint or two, was willing to provide Monty with authentic anecdotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToo authentic, it turns out...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause Commando Gold reveals the details of a real-life commando mission.
