  ROGUE WARRIOR III: GREEN TEAM

  Richard Marcinko

  and

  John Weisman

  Coming in Hardcover from Pocket Books mid-March 1995

  The following is a preview of Rogue Warrior III: Green Team …

  The first two floors were easy—no one in sight, no booby traps, and no cats, rats, bats, goats, sheep, or other miscellaneous animals to make our presence known. I crept up the dusty concrete stairs one by one, my black knee-length Pakistani ‘Pasha’ tunic covering the carbon-colored suppressed Glock 19 in its ballistic nylon thigh holster. The rest of my outfit was also basic black—from the thong sandals, to the Maharishi-style trousers, to the Titanium-framed Emerson CQC6 combat folder clipped to my waistband next to the Motorola beeper, to the lead-and-l
eather sap secured by a thick black Ace bandage to the inside of my right wrist.

  My beard was full—reaching almost halfway down my chest. My mustache drooped Fu Manchu-like way below my upper lip. My shoulder-length hair, restrained by a thick black cotton band, was wild and crazee. If anybody ever looked the part of Islamic fundamentalist rogue warrior—the kind of maniacal Mujaheddin you used to see on the TV news shows when they sent camera crews into Afghanistan—it was me. Which is precisely why I’d volunteered as point man on this little jaunt, prowling and growling up the unlit stairwell of a Cairo slum at 0-dark hundred to catch my quarry napping on his bedroll.

  I wasn’t alone, of course. You do not meander into Islamic Cairo, home to some of the meanest Muslim fundamentalist sons of bitches in the world, without some fundamentally mean sons of bitches of your own to backstop your ass. That’s why, half a yard behind me, Senior Chief Nasty Nicky Grundle, his suppressed Heckler & Koch MP5SD submachine gun at the ready, rested a huge paw on my shoulder. A yard behind him, Master Chief Boatswain’s Mate Howie Kaluha’s well-muscled Hawaiian back (not to mention his well-maintained Kraut submachine gun) brought up the rear.

  A few streets away, cruising in the limo—it was actually a baby blue Peugeot 504 station wagon, but in Cairo, as the saying goes, almost anything that runs can be considered a limo—Doc Tremblay, handlebar mustachioed master chief corpsman and super sniper, waited, a Manurhin PPK/s loaded with seven rounds of .380 MagSafe frangible man stoppers tucked in his waistband and a disposable syringe filled with 200 milligrams of Dr. Nostradamus’s best Ketamine Love Potion Number 9 in his hand. Behind the Peugeot’s wheel sat Grandma Noel’s favorite Peck’s bad boy, MM1 Stevie Wonder, on indefinite leave from his classified job at the Washington Navy Yard. Wonder’s carrot-colored hair was covered by a dark knit fellahin cap, and his tight frame was hidden by a shapeless gallebiyah. He was, however, wearing his trademark wraparound shooting glasses with lenses in the color named especially for him—bastard amber.

  Wedged under Wonder’s right thigh was a 9-mm hush-puppy—a suppressed Smith & Wesson semi-automatic—loaded with Doc Tremblay’s best handloaded, subsonic hollowpoint. To his nightshirt-like garment was pinned a throwaway receiving device about the size of a pack of gum. When I pressed a chiclet-size button in my pocket, his gizmo would vibrate for thirty seconds. The tickle would tell him he had one minute to get his Mick ass in gear and pick me and the rest of the team up.

  There’s more: While Nasty, Howie, and I crept up the stairs, Chief Gunner’s Mate (Guns) Duck Foot Dewey and Commander Tommy Tanaka were making their way up along a precarious path of irregular stonework, spindly balconies, laundry lines, and drainpipes that ran alongside the target’s third-story dormer windows. I knew it would take every bit of their mountain-climbing expertise to clamber up thirty-five feet of brittle brick without snapping anything off and raising a ruckus.

  I know, I know—you’re asking what the fuck? What the hell’s going on? What’s Dickie doing back in the Third World when he should be home at Rogue Manor, just climbing out of the Jacuzzi clutching a tall, frosted glass of Bombay on the rocks in one hand, and something warm, wonderful, and remarkably full-breasted in the other.
