JUDAS--master spy for hire by anyone, this time by Red China. NICK CARTER--America's top operative, the dreaded agent N3. The prize they fought for was the free world and the fate of millions of lives. Their arena of violence--Indonesia, torn apart by savage rebellions and war. Judas was depending on his usual ugly Nife, the man-child who killed on command...Geitsch, who cared only for the huge bounty the job would bring...Muller, the es-Nazi, whose preference ran to young boys. Nick Carter had Tala, too beautiful to resist and too dangerous to trust! From inside front A sadistic game of kill and run... The Chicoms struck without mercy. The jungles echoed with screams of fear as the Reds kidnapped, murdered--and disappeared. Sometimes the Chinese offered terrifying bargains. A wealthy man would be spared--for a gigantic ransom. A sloe-eyed beauty could escape--in exchange for unlimited use of her body. A high official might live--if he agreed to treason. It was hell on Earth, but about par for the course in strife-torn Indonesia. Except this time something really big lurked behind the blood bath, something that spelled disaster in hideous, nuclear terms. That's where America--and Nick Carter--came in!
Nick Carter is a house pseudonym used by Award, Ace, and later Jove, publishing for the series Nick Carter who later graduated to a special agent for the Killmaster novels, a series of 261+ spy adventures published from 1964 until late 1990s.
A great number of writers have written under the pen-name over the years, beginning in September 1886 when Nick Carter first appeared in the 'New York Weekly' in a 13-week serial, entitled 'The Old Detective's Pupil; or, The Mysterious Crime of Madison Square'.
The Nick Carter character was originally conceived by Ormond G. Smith, the son of one of the founders of Street & Smith, and realized by John R. Coryell.
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.
