Now a second AXE man could accomplish Phase II. Bringing the microfilm, the secret plans for Russian's fastest fighter plane, into the free world. But in Cairo, the AXE courier was butchered to death. Now Nick has to recover the microfilm and also find the sadistic killer. To help him with the assignment, AXE assigned Fayeh, a golden skinned Egyptian Interpol agent. To feed Nick information, they send Thinman, a depraved addict who walked the narrow line between the law and the underworld for his daily fix. To fight Nick, they pit him against the New Brotherhood, the Arab version of the Mafia. The New Brother hood has the most lethal syndicate Nick had ever encountered. He only hoped he would live to tell about it.

3.5 STARS for me.
Read this at a stretch first in 1991 and several times after that. This was my latest tryst with this pulp fiction Bond wannabe series that was very popular in the 50's through to the 80's along with other similar titles including the more famous Mack Bolan series.
Over 200 titles full of short novels about a fictional CIA wannabe AXE along the lines of 007, with a license to kill.
This adventure is based in Egypt as the name suggests and concerns a microfilm about a secret weapon that is at stake with cold war rivals and others interested in it.

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.
