Helm is married to a woman so he can protect her from assassination. As usual, he's given the barest of information & expected to fulfill his objective. The plot hinges on a misunderstanding that is very well plotted. The idea behind the story is a scary one & all too plausible. While still in the Cold War era, it strikes a special cord today. See these pages for more of Hamilton's work, about him, & the latest releases. http://www.matthelmbooks.com/intro.html http://www.benish-industries.com/hamilton/hamilton.php http://goodreadergonebad.net/donaldhamilton/ Another solid entry in the Helm series. Occasionally, Hamilton backtracks to fill in Helm's history for readers new to the series, which is a bit annoying, but once this one hits its stride toward the end, it's a very satisfying tale with a bit more introspection than usual. The plot is even a little more far-fetched than usual - Helm has to marry a doctor in Pensacola who is being stalked by a "Shadower", one of scores of such people awaiting orders from a Communist agent to kill their targets. Helm's job is to lure the Shadower into a trap, then make him reveal the location of the leader so he can be killed. That's always the crux of the matter in a Helm book - he is a trained killer, pure and simple. Still, the pseudo-marriage turns out to have a lot more impact on his cold heart than one might expect. A very effective ending for this one as well. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

A brand-new edition of the classic novel. In order to foil a mass assassination plot, Matt Helm must undertake his most dangerous mission: matrimony. An agent like Helm might be a nice man to live with for a while, be he's not the kind a woman would marry. Unless she has too. Unless it's all part of maintaining an ingenious cover. The man whose daily bread is violence takes a most unlikely bride - just to make sure death doesn't part them. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
