The Inca Death Squad

Killmaster #66

by Nick Carter, Martin Cruz Smith

The mission would be unusually easy, and that worried agent N3. But when told that he is being "rented out" to the Russians, he is genuinely shocked. Until he finds out that his unusual assignment is imperative to Soviet-American relations.

And so Nick Carter assumes the unlikely role of delivery boy as he takes off for Chile to deliver a new style bullet-proof vest to Soviet Minister Alexander Alexandrovich Belkevo. A simple enough task, until Nick is faced with a coup that threats to burn South America to the ground — and cripple Soviet-American relations permanently!

Reviews

[Little Timmy]

A nice rewrite of an old Pulp character. Recast more in the James Bond spy mode. Good quick men's adventure read. If you are looking for some fast paced action and adventure then this is a recommended read.
