Summaries

  • Secret agent Matt Helm must battle foreign spies and a rogue nation's exiled ruler in order to recover a hijacked U.S. government experimental flying saucer.
  • Without a doubt, there's a mole in the secret Intelligence and Counter Espionage agency. Right after the successful launch of the first state-of-the-art USAF flying saucer, the powerful tractor beam of a nefarious criminal organisation forces the experimental vessel to crash-land in the lush Central-American jungles. As a result, having no recollection of the mysterious incident, the amnesiac test pilot, Sheila Sommers, will have to join forces with the spy extraordinaire and suave photographer, Matt Helm, and travel to sun-kissed Acapulco to shed light on this thorny case. Nevertheless, their luxurious Mexican resort is rife with deadly traps and crafty double-agents, bent on stopping the prying intruders. Will Matt and Sheila unearth the dangerous conspiracy? Can they retrieve the top-secret spacecraft?—Nick Riganas

Matt Helm and Shiela travel to sun-kissed Acapulco to shed light on this thorny case. The luxurious Mexican resort is rife with deadly traps and crafty double-agents, bent on stopping the prying intruders. Their targets are exiled ruler, Ortega, and his henchman Quintana. Quintana's Ole brewery plant becomes a focus of action. Interfering initially is foreign agent Francesca Madeiros. Eventually, they agree to cooperate. Most anxious to get his hands on the saucer is an Arab agent/assassin named Nassim. He fails to realize that the electromotive forces used to propel the saucer are fatal to men. That's why the initial test flight was piloted by Shiela.—Garon Smith
