5.0 out of 5 stars Helm meets his match, October 7, 1998

By A Customer

Our Man Helm is in trouble. It seems he carried out a mission as required but overlooked an ex-Nazi agent and a Russian missile in the process. Matt is sent to find both after they disappear. He is also given a broken female agent to rehabilitate as an extra duty. An above average Helm adventure, this mission introduces Vadya, the seductive Russian agent who will bedevil our hero in several more adventures. The political assassination in the first chapters will also have future repercussions for Helm. As always, Hamilton mixes an exciting tale with bits of Helm's sardonic humor ( a hallmark of the Fawcett paperback series heroes). By all means find this book.

Matt Helm embarks on a secret mission in Costa Verde at which time he finds a Russian missile, a Nazi WWII soldier, and a severely tortured girl. When Matt reports to Mac, he is assigned to find the missile which is now in Mexico. Here he has his first encounter with a beautiful Russian agent named, "Vadya" and enters into a contest to destroy the missile. This is another of author Donald Hamiltons great Matt Helm series.
