Description

A full-blooded, stirring yarn which grips the interest and carries the reader through a host of adventures to a breathless and highly exciting climax. This is a yarn told in the true Wallace tradition and Major Wilson is to be congratulated on maintaining the same atmosphere of quick-fire action.

Reviews

'The dialogue is reminiscent of that in the early Agatha Christie novels, and there is an air of Simon Templar about Wallace, who seems to be always one step ahead of everyone else.' Books Monthly 'a romping read ... James Bond may find he has a worthy rival' Daily Mail 'Without Alexander Wilson there is no James Bond, there is no Bourne, there is no George Smiley. Unmissable' Tony Parsons
