I'm so happy this book is included in the database!

I have a copy of this and it's pretty tattered, but I loved this book. This book is why I am an espionage book lover.

Surprisingly GREAT! And one of the coolest paperback covers ever designed.

So Many Twists & Turns!

Although this was published in 1972, the premise of nuclear terrorism still works even if there might be a couple of new players. You must pay close attention to the plot as it has more twists and turns than a road in the Himalayas but although it is a treacherous trek, it is well worth it. I just hope the book doesn't give the bad guys any ideas!
