The Black Berets have fought for their country, for money, and for thrills ... now theyâre fighting for cold vengeance, as the classic series of wartime adventure continues.
Theyâd survived everything the Vietcong could throw at them. Now theyâd throw it back ... at the American renegade whoâd betrayed them.
The Black Berets had to hand it to Parkes, their former CIA case officer. First heâd sent them on a suicide mission to Vietnam. Then heâd sent some CIA hit men to finish them off when the enemy couldnât. And the moment they set foot stateside, the worldâs meanest mercenaries found that Parkes had arranged another lethal welcome.
Well, theyâd 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 theyâd get a chance to say just what they had in mindâwith bullets and a body bag.
