Kevin Sorbo
Mike Droberg and I are working with Kevin Sorbo on a future historical drama project, great guy. In support of his efforts, we are posting links and trailers to his new films. We hope you all see them, and enjoy.
The Star of Africa
The Star of Africa is now a completed screenplay by screenwriter Michael Droberg and Colin D. Heaton, registered with WGAE. See Michael's work on his website at www.michaeldroberg.com
We have had great interest from the film and TV community about this project. Please feel free to contact us should your company also have an interest in this or other books to film. We have the proposal and treatment/teaser completed for review as well.
See our two pages on this website dedicated to the book and Hans-Joachim Marseille for the back story and photographs. Also see below for our foreign translations of this amazing pilot and his story, as told by those who knew him, and fought against him.
WW II Tuskegee Airman and friend Col. Charles McGee promoted to Brigadier General by President Trump on Feb. 4, 2020
As a military historian, nothing provides insights better than first person observations, captured for all time. John Frederick's book is a window into the past, when celebrities were larger than life. His first person accounts of these legendary performers increases our knowledge of American history in general, and the history of Hollywood's past in particular. Entertaining while educational, I highly recommend this book for high school age persons and above. Personally, I consider it one of the best nonfiction and non-military books I have ever read.

See the interview of May 3, 2013 with Colin about the new book on Southern Sense Radio. Link is below
The amazing life of Pieter Krueler (1885-1986) provides a window into a full century of conflict such as one man rarely experiences. Four-War Boer traces Krueler's highly colorful life from the Second Boer War, where he first served as a 14-year-old scout, through his service in World War I with the German Army in East Africa, to the Spanish Civil War to World War II, this time with the Allies, and on into the latter part of the 20th century, when he served as a mercenary during the 1960s Congo Crisis.
This material includes a wealth of fascinating new information, and breaks the great secrecy surrounding Rhodesian and South African special operations, as unveiled through the experience of a man who was a founding father of counterinsurgency in Africa.
Released in 2014
