MacMillan Audio Books
The wave of the future confronts
Tweed - carrying death for at least a hundred million people. With Paula Grey
and Bob Newman, Tweed tracks Dr Goslar, inventor of the supreme weapon. More
than ten years before, Tweed fought Goslar – and lost. His only failure.
The trail leads to London, where two
mysterious women appear - Serena Cavendish and Trudy Warner, just arrived from
the States. His team is joined by Captain Alan ‘Chance’ Burgoyne, guerrilla warfare
expert. The Yellow Man surfaces - the most savage assassin Tweed has ever
encountered.
The search for Goslar – who could be a man or
a woman - leads to Paris, where Tweed finds he has many enemies - the French
security services, a secret American unit from Washington, the rival British
Special Branch. The pursuit of Goslar forces Tweed and his team to race to
Geneva, then the idyllic French town of Annecy. By now Bancroft, American
professional ‘eliminator’ is on their heels. Goslar organizes ambushes to
destroy Tweed’s team. He is close to delivering the weapon to the West’s most
fanatical opponent.
Can Tweed outwit Goslar in time? A crescendo
climax explodes in remote snowbound mountains. Is Tweed too late?
