The Black Berets have met the enemy—and he lives next door!
Letting a struggling Chicano gas company run its pipeline across their Louisiana land struck the Black Berets as a good idea—especially once Cowboy got an eyeball on Isabella Cifuentes, its stunning, sultry president. But the contract, it seemed, contained some very fine and lethal print.
A Texas oil magnate allied with a fanatical right-wing cult had made an unholy alliance to keep the territory free of Mexicans and competition—even if it meant taking his grievance to the people next door.
But when your neighbors happen to be a quintet of renegade warriors, your backyard may become a burying ground … and the bone you came to pick may just turn out to be your own!
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.
