4.0 out of 5 stars
A fair Avengers novel
This is a good Avengers novel but the scenes are very slow. If you don't have patients than you probibly should not read this.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Well written but it lacks the sparkle and wit of the Avenger
The color cover photo of Rigg and MacNee is pleasing. However; the book lacked the humor found in the series and in Kaewert's delightfully adapted movie tie-in. There are descriptions of the gourmet food Steed and Emma consume and a preposterous scheme to deceive two ruthless fascist villains by use ofa filmstrip projector. (That technology is outdated!)...

There are descriptions of the gourmet food Steed and Emma consume and a preposterous scheme to deceive two ruthless fascist villains by use ofa filmstrip projector. (That technology is outdated!) If you want to own every Avengers novel ever written then you will be satisfied. Otherwise, interlibrary loan the book and then purchase it if you want to afterward. I was very disappointed. MacNee and his co-writer assigned a subservient role to Emma. No humor, no banter. They should have adapted one of the TV scripts that was a delight to watch. The plot was very weak. Believe me, the Avengers movie had a far better, more absorbing plot than this book.
