Prophet Without Honor

First published in This Week, October 17, 1965.
The Messenger is the name given to the once British now Arab recluse who for the past 20 years has lived a life of a hermit in the deserts of North Africa. Now he has come out of seclusion and Section Q is certain the man has been murdered and replaced by a phony to turn that country's people against America's new base in the nation. Selena Mead is asked to fly there to learn what she can.
