Colin Forbes – Sinister Tide – (2 cassettes, approx. running time 3 hours)

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?
