The Black Palm

A band of terrorists in a Caribbean paradise are up against the Black Berets, the deadliest fighters on the planet!
The Black Palm called themselves a nation, though their own people had cast them out. They called themselves an army, but made war on unarmed men, women, and children. And in their fanatical crusade, they might strike anywhere. Even in the tiny Caribbean republic of New Neuzen.
The only thing that stood between New Neuzen and a terrorist bloodbath were five American tourists. Those tourists happened to be the Black Berets, the dirtiestâand deadliestâwarriors on earth. And they had not come to New Neuzen for a vacation. Unless your idea of a holiday is total war!
