I found it to be too much of an early Cold War espionage novel rather than an over-the-top pulpy adventure, which was what I wanted. Nayland-Smith has traveled to New York City, where a brilliant scientist is on the verge of inventing a death-ray machine that will upset the fragile balance of power between the USA and the USSR. The Soviets, the British, and the Americans have all placed agents close to the scientist, and of course, Fu Manchu is involved. His goal is to prevent the device from falling into the hands of the Communists, who he despises. More death traps and more of Fu Manchu's outre agents and inventions would have helped enliven this one. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
World War II has ended. The United States is locked in a Cold War with the Eastern Bloc. It's the time of mutually assured destruction, yet the atomic bomb isn't the only weapon to fear. And the Soviets have another enemy with whom to contend. Dr. Morris Craig has developed an energy weapon with the potential for unlimited destruction--whoever controls it could tip the balance of global power. The quest for Craig's invention once again brings Fu-Manchu to New York City, his mission to prevent the Communists from acquiring the device. But who can keep it out of the hands of the Devil Doctor himself? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
