The Black Berets have fought for their country, for money, and for thrills … now they’re fighting for cold vengeance, as the classic series of wartime adventure continues.
They’d survived everything the Vietcong could throw at them. Now they’d throw it back … at the American renegade who’d betrayed them.
The Black Berets had to hand it to Parkes, their former CIA case officer. First he’d sent them on a suicide mission to Vietnam. Then he’d sent some CIA hitmen to finish them off when the enemy couldn’t. And the moment they set foot stateside, the world’s meanest mercenaries found that Parkes had arranged another lethal welcome.
Well, they’d never liked Parkes much. But how were they going to tell him? First they had to find him, and that would take Beeker, Rosie, Cowboy, Harry, and Marty, from the bayous of Louisiana to an academy of terror in the Libyan desert, where they’d get a chance to say just what they had in mind—with bullets and a body bag.
Mike McCray was a pseudonym shared by John Preston and Michael McDowell. John Preston was a pioneer in the early gay rights movement and publishing initiatives and the author or editor of more than twenty-five acclaimed books. Along with the Black Berets series, he wrote numerous entries in Gold Eagle’s Soldiers of Barrabas series under the pseudonym Jack Hild. As Preston McAdam, he wrote the three books in the Michael Sheriff: The Shield series. Michael McDowell wrote many successful novels under his own name, cowrote four novels under the pseudonym Nathan Aldyne (with Dennis Schuetz), and his screen credits include Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Thinner, and episodes for a number of television horror anthologies. Unfortunately, they both died at an early age due to complications related to AIDS.
