Deadly Conclusion

by Robert Fisher

Following its failure to gain military dominance in World War II, Japan implemented a top secret contingency plan. This plan was aimed at world economic dominance. It utilized genetic engineering and industrial espionage as primary weapons. The implementation of the plan was a brilliant success. Japan had stolen industrial secrets from the best companies in the Western world. Once Japan's economy was well established, all traces of the plan had to be eliminated, including killing everyone with even the remotest knowledge of it. Four of the five founders were also killed leaving only the Emperor with full knowledge. Or so he thought Years later an inadvertent publication revealed that one person with all this knowledge was still alive. Rob Campbell was believed to have been killed but unknown to the Emperor his life had been spared and he now lived with his wife and baby son in Hawaii. If details of this heinous plan were made public it could severely damage the entire Japanese economy and bring the downfall of the Emperor and his lineage. He would not allow this to happen. The Emperor sent a clandestine group of intelligent, highly trained assassins to find and eliminate the entire Campbell family. Fortunately for Rob, two allies came to his aid. Both had World War II espionage training. But would their combined capability be sufficient to overcome the Emperor's experienced assassins? There would be many more questions as the trail led from one side of the Pacific to the other. Many questions - but only one certainty. Many people would die before the quest reached a conclusion.

About the author

One of the most prolific of sitcom writers, Fisher began in television the 1950s by pairing up with a veteran radio writer twenty-five years his senior named Alan Lipscott. Lipscott and Fisher wrote the first episode of the CBS-TV sitcom series Make Room For Daddy (starring Danny Thomas) in 1953, and went on to craft teleplays for The Donna Reed Show, Bachelor Father (which starred John Forsythe), Bronco, How to Marry a Millionaire, and others. Following Lipscott’s death in 1961, Fisher then began writing with Arthur Marx, and that partnership (which lasted for over twenty-five years) produced episodes of McHale's Navy, My Three Sons, The Mothers-in-Law, the short lived ABC-TV series The Paul Lynde Show, and NBC-TV's Life With Lucy in 1986. He and Marx were also story editors and frequent writers on CBS-TV's Alice from 1977-1981.[1]

Fisher also wrote occasionally with Arthur Alsberg (on I Dream of Jeannie and Mona McCluskey) and had three plays produced on Broadway: the hit The Impossible Years (with Marx), Minnie’s Boys (with Marx), and Happiness Is Just a Little Thing Called a Rolls Royce (with Alsberg), which closed after one performance.

Fisher is also the author of the book "The Knight in Rusty Armor". A beautiful tale of man's journey to discover himself through a series of comic and tragic transformations.
