He was unable to get enough information due to the high level of secrecy surrounding the rites. As he prepares to leave the city, he hears the story of a popular local chief who had just woken from a six-year coma and he decides to document the story. Convinced that the story would be some sort of compensation for his failure to get information at the coronation's coverage, he decides to go to the hospital. At the hospital, a nurse offers to help with interpretation as he interviews the man. He is only able to ask one question before the members of the man's family barge in to interrupt his interview. During the short interview, Thomas was able to get a name from the man, the name Idahosa. He arrives at his hotel room and hears the same name on a TV Broadcast for the Idahosa World Outreach. He assumes that the Idahosa must have played a crucial role in the old man's recovery. He writes down the address and phone number shown on display, and heads to the Idahosa World Outreach headquarters in Benin City. On arrival at the church, Thomas meets with a young pastor known as Pastor Osas (Kunle Idowu) who asks him to come back the following day to meet with Benson Idahosa. The young pastor gets Thomas a book to read about Idahosa. Out of excitement about the new development, Thomas reschedules his flight and starts preparing for this new story of on Idahosa. On arrival at his hotel room, Thomas flips through the book with sleepy eyes, and he falls into a trance and finds himself in the re-enactment of the story depicted in the book. The next day, Thomas meets up with Pastor Osas and they make several unsuccessful stops at different locations where the young pastor promised Thomas they would find Idahosa and get his story. Two days go by and Thomas is unable to get to meet Idahosa but every night when he gets back to his hotel room, he continues to read the book on Idahosa. Just like the first night, he falls asleep reading the book and experiences the re-enactment of the stories depicted in the book. He relentlessly kept on following Pastor Osas with the aim of getting to interview Archbishop Idahosa. On the day before Thomas’ scheduled departure, he is shocked to find out that Idahosa is dead. This discovery leads to an altercation between him and Pastor Osas which leads to a face off. In an unexpected turn of events, Thomas is Implicated in an accident that leaves Pastor lying unconscious on the floor. He was curious to understand Idahosa's role in the perceived miracle of the old man he had interviewed at the hospital. Pastor Osas thought Thomas knew of Idahosa's death and assumed that he just wanted to get to interview the people whose lives Idahosa's ministry affected positively. Thomas, now confused must piece the clues together as he finds strength to embark on a journey of discovery; to find truth, faith and salvation. ===== Protagonist is perhaps too strong a word to describe Colonel Russell. As Haggard himself wrote about his fiction: > My novels are chiefly novels of suspense with a background of international > politics. A Colonel Charles Russell of the Security Executive, a not > entirely imaginary British counter-espionage organization, while not a > protagonist in the technical sense, holds the story line together in the > background by his operations, while the characters in the foreground carry > the action."From the back flap of the dust jacket of the Walker and Company > American edition of The Conspirators, New York, 1967 Like Haggard's first book, Slow Burner, which involved the exploitation of a fictional nuclear power source, the events in Venetian Blind turn on the development of another notion from science fiction, "negative gravity". Gervas Leat, a rich and imperious Englishman with a second home in Venice and a beautiful Venetian step-daughter who is hostess to his English manor, is working on negative gravity in two of his otherwise highly profitable factories. Through his ties with a minor figure from Slow Burner, a Professor Wasserman, Colonel Russell learns that leaks regarding the highly secret work on negative gravity have been making their way to a rival firm in Germany for several years now. A world-class physicist become a wealthy industrialist, Wasserman is at home in both upper-class English society and German engineering works. Russell works mostly in the book's background to identify the traitor, helped by Richard Wakeley, a relatively young but very accomplished lawyer who is being considered by the government as a possible replacement for the soon-to-retire Russell. Much of the book is an examination of the complicated, even tortured relationships between Wakeley, Gervas Leat, Leat's step-daughter, the occasionally deliberately self-caricaturing Professor Wasserman, and a disaffected assistant to Leat whose wife is one of Leat's many conquests. Upper-class dinners, clubs, and government offices figure conspicuously as the plot advances from the English countryside to the heart of Venice. Only Colonel Russell is exactly what he seems to be on the surface and, as in Slow Burner, the final, violent dénouement finds him more of a bemused spectator than an active participant. ===== Bhagyalakshmi- Only daughter of the great musician and singer, who practiced and persevered in music and dance.

A Colonel Charles Russell of the Security Executive, a not > entirely imaginary British counter-espionage organization, while not a > protagonist in the technical sense, holds the story line together in the > background by his operations, while the characters in the foreground carry > the action."From the back flap of the dust jacket of the Walker and Company > American edition of The Conspirators, New York, 1967 Although Russell remains in the background for much of the book, he is nevertheless somewhat more active than in his first two appearances. In the previous book, he was sixty and supposedly about to retire; in Arena, however, no mention is made of this. His invaluable assistant from the first book, Major Mortimer, now with a first name (Robert), reappears and is in almost every scene in which Russell appears, frequently disagreeing with him about what course of action should be taken. The plot itself is straightforward: a small British company has made developments in the fields of radar and electronics that will be valuable assets for the country. It has, however, borrowed money from a old-line private bank in the City to finance this development. An unscrupulous, and highly murderous, Swiss financier is aware of this situation and determines to take over first the bank that made the loan, and then the company itself, thereby gaining control of the technological developments. The British government becomes aware of this and directs Colonel Russell to make sure that this is thwarted. Much of the book is then devoted to the character of two or three of the people most involved with the various family-owned private banks that are central to the plot. Social background—and bitter jealousies because of it—are important elements, as in many of Haggard's books, and although apparently trivial in nature lead to murderous outcomes. One of the families involved has a deep Italian heritage and so the action moves from England to Italy and back and finally ends with a deadly dénouement on the island of Capri. The resolution is highly successful for Russell and his Ministerial masters but only if its human cost is not reckoned with. From that standpoint, Russell's interventions have been bleak, grim, cynical, and morally unrewarding. ===== Retired soldier Kwan Chiu (Gordon Lam) who served in the British colonial army has joined the triads to make a living, but he has been suffering financially in recent years.

While Banaz's parents insist Banaz is not missing, her phone hasn't been used and there's been no movement on her bank account. It soon transpires that Banaz had been in contact with the police repeatedly in the preceding months; she'd even left a note with her local police station listing several men, including her uncle Ari Mahmod, who she claimed were planning to kill her, but she had not been taken seriously. Rahmat confirms that he and Banaz have been threatened with death because they'd been seen kissing and their relationship was deemed inappropriate; he claimed the threats were initiated by Ari Mahmod, and had been reported to the police two days before Banaz went missing.

He's arrested and while in custody his telephone calls are recorded; Nawzad Gelly translates the content and informs DCI Goode that Hama is openly boasting about how Banaz was raped, killed and her body disposed of.

What they find when they get there --here Kilpi was inspired by Bertel Gripenberg's Swedish translation of Edgar Allan Poe's "A Descent into the Maelström"--is a polar vortex that sucks them deep beneath the earth's surface. When Cartwright figures out how to extricate them from the vortex, they are shipwrecked on the ice, where they are rescued by an expedition from the British Geodetical Society in three airplanes--it turns out that their month in the polar vortex has propelled them forward in time two centuries, to 1938, the year Kilpi was writing the novel. They are flown to London, where they find modern civilization absolutely terrifying and appalling--and that's where Kilpi left them. Robinson's continuation of the plot involves an invitation to have lunch with the king (a Trump parody) and contact with pink Venusians, who help them escape in a stolen plane. They fly to the North Pole to cycle the vortex in reverse (the plot device that Kilpi reported to his son he was planning), but the rope they try to dangle in the water keeps bouncing out, so they tie it around Gulliver's father's Bible--and are propelled into the King James Bible. Ethel Cartwright, the skipper's 15-year-old son, rescues them from there and flies them back to 1738 and their home in Blyth. ===== Peter's denial of Christ, the trial before Pilate, the scourging, the journey to Calvary, the crucifixion, death burial and resurrection of Christ. ===== Spawn of Azathoth is an adventure in which the player characters try to avert a disaster that threatens the world. ===== After a poor audition at a New York music conservatory, Finley Sinclair travels to a coastal village in Ireland to begin a semester studying abroad.

With all plant life on Earth extinct, civilisation has collapsed around the globe; only one city in Australia has been barely able to hold out against these catastrophic changes, owing to artificial oxygen produced by the Chronicorp corporation. However, this oxygen is tainted and gradually causes a deadly affliction known as The Sickness. One day, Ethan Whyte, a tunnel worker for the city's power plant, is faced with the harsh fact that his wife Xanthe is afflicted with the Sickness. The next day, he is called before Regina Jackson, a Chronicorp research CTO, who explains that the Sickness will eventually wipe out humanity. During a test of the Chronicom, a prototype time machine Ethan's late father, quantum physicist Richard Whyte, had worked on before his death twenty year prior, the scientists received a radio signal from 407 years in the future with a message to specifically send Ethan to them to prevent the extinction of mankind. Despite the chance that Ethan might never be able to return, and his resentment against his father for apparently prioritizing his work over his own son, Xanthe and his guardian and work colleague Jude manage to change his mind. After surviving the traumatic time displacement, Ethan finds himself in a lush but lifeless rainforest, with only a device permanently fitted to his wrist by his father during his childhood and a hand computer named Archie as his only surviving pieces of equipment. Following Archie's instructions, he finds the entrance to a bunker-like structure, and before it, a skeleton wearing his jumpsuit and with a bullet hole in its skull, as well as a decaying Archie and the familiar wrist device. Shocked by the discovery of his apparently inexorable death in the near future, and sick from eating poisonous berries, he finds himself rescued by Jude, who followed him through time after his life readings, transmitted through the Chronocrom, were failing. After sharing their findings, they follow Archie's directions to another, still-functional bunker, which is revealed to be a Chronicom lab. It is there that Ethan's wrist device is revealed to be a DNA analyzer specifically made to grant him access to the Chronicom, which sets itself for automatic reactivation in four hours. From a holographic recording left by Richard Whyte, they learn that the Chronicom project originally entailed the reactivation of an atmospheric monitoring station which would ascertain the Earth atmosphere's breathability in the future and then transmit the data back to the past. When first activating the machine, Nathan was surprised to receive a message to send his own son to the future, so despite his misgivings he prepared Ethan's wrist analyzer. However, an immediate follow-up mission was rendered impossible because safely sending living matter through time requires an operational link from both sides. The activation of the Chronicom triggers a malfunction in its nuclear power core, threatening to unleash a nuclear explosion before the countdown is completed. Ethan and Jude make their way to the power core, which is located beneath the overgrown ruins of their home city. Finding the ruins littered with skeletons, including Xanthe's, they are forced to conclude that a cure against the Sickness was never found. When Jude attempts some comforting words, Ethan recognizes his voice from a recording he found on the decaying Arche computer, taken moments before his future self was killed. Exposed, Jude directs Ethan at gunpoint to the reactor's control room. Unable to activate the emergency override, Ethan willingly allows himself to be locked inside the depressurizing chamber to initiate a manual reboot. He succeed in rerouting the power, preventing the meltdown and reopening the control room. With 37 minutes to spare, they return to the Chronicom lab, where Ethan finds another exit which opens to the entryway with his skeleton. Upon its sight, Ethan suffers a nervous breakdown and implores Jude to kill him, which Jude refuses. Jude then confesses that there was no actual hope of ever changing the future; refusing to believe that, Ethan locks Jude in and plays back the remainder of his father's last message. From it, he learns that his mission was a sham from the beginning: Jackson intended to flee from her dying timeline into the future with just a few chosen to start anew, while Richard maintained the hope that the return message must have been sent by somebody, indicating that there is yet hope for all mankind. In order to prevent its abuse, Richard keyed the time machine to Ethan's DNA, but when Richard's colleague announced that the machine could be rigged to send a person into the future one-way, Jackson killed Richard. Jude, who had accompanied Jackson, was appointed as Ethan's guardian to ensure the full use of the Chronicom when the time was right. Refusing to allow this, Ethan tries to shut the Chronicom down, but Jude breaks out and moves to stop him. When Ethan refuses to fight him, Jude, guilt-ridden, commits suicide. Just before Jackson can put her plans in motion, Ethan sends the "Send Ethan Whyte" message, a copy of Richard's recorded murder, a large collection of live jungle plants and a personal farewell gift to Xanthe back to the past and then permanently shuts down the Chronicom. This creates a significant change in the time continuum: In the past, Jackson is arrested and the plants are used to revitalize the planet; and in the future, Ethan returns to his home city to find it advanced and populated. ===== Teenager Tsubasa Shiki moves from Tokyo to the city of Kitami in Hokkaido.

Suffering from tennis elbow and severe headaches, Mike arrives late to the rodeo stadium he works at, Polk's Cow Stadium, which is owned by his boss, Howard Polk. Participating in the "Ride-Out", an event where a rodeo cowboy attempts to "ride-out" a horse (an event he himself created to avoid getting fired), Mike is trampled by a newly-added horse, and is hospitalized with a broken leg. At the hospital, Mike remembers losing his parents at the age of five, dropping out of college after his grandparents died in a house fire, working alongside his first employer Mr. Croag, an animal husbandry inspector for the Department of Agriculture who once tasked him with putting down down a dozen horses, and his personal move into becoming a rodeo cowboy.

Five years ago, Howard went through a divorce and lost custody of his only son, Rafael "Rafo" Polk, who was sent to Mexico to live with his mom. In the present, Howard meets with Mike, attempting to persuade him into kidnapping Rafo and transporting him back to Texas, promising $50,000 (which Howard will obtain as ransom money from Rafo's mom) in return. Initially rejecting the offer, Mike remembers the time he unsuccessfully defended a hooker named Cissy Brewer from a hostile Ewell Macmillian, the former owner and co-founder of the Polk's Cow Stadium, who forced a horse onto Cissy. Ewell was given a suspended sentence, and he was replaced by Howard shortly after. Cissy, who had been traumatized by the event, became homeless and mentally ill. In the present, Mike decides to help Howard retrieve his son. After being given a dark blue panel truck, Mike drives down the Pan-American Highway and arrives in Mexico City, where he finds Rafo living in a mansion-like house with his mom, Alexandra "Lexa" Muños de Santis Polk, in the Lomas de Chapultepec. At midnight, while sneaking into the home, Mike becomes dizzy and suffers a fall that knocks him unconscious. Waking up, Mike is tended to by Lexa, who has learned of his intentions. Upset, Lexa reveals to Mike that Rafo doesn't live with her, and instead lives as a gambling thief out in the streets. Allowed to leave, Mike departs from the home and begins his search for Rafo. A few days later, Mike finds Rafo participating in a cockfight in Tepito. Before he can talk to him, Rafo runs away after the event is interrupted by a police raid. Shortly after, Mike finds Rafo's white rooster (nicknamed "Macho"), which he uses to bait Rafo into talking with him at a cafe. Once there, Rafo agrees to travel to Texas to reunite with his dad. The next day, Rafo meets with Mike alongside Macho. Following a short altercation, the pair begin their journey to the southern border, where they plan to pass illegally. In San Luis Potosí, Mike has his panel truck, money, and Macho stolen by a group of thieves. Using a public bus as transportation, the pair arrive in Janasco, where Mike finds and recovers his stolen truck, and Rafo reunites with Macho. The next day, the pair meet and become friends with Marta, a poor widow with who Mike becomes intimate with. After Marta suffers severe burns due to the burning of her jacal, Mike and Rafo depart from Janasco. Driving towards the border, the pair stop after noticing a patrol car following them. During their wait, a vulture flies away with Macho, saddening Rafo. At night, the pair are confronted by two officers from the national patrol, who search the car and ask Rafo his intentions of traveling to the United States. After Rafo lies about his plan to meet his father at the border, the officers follow the pair to a motel, with the intent of hearing Howard confirm the statement through a phone call. At the motel, located two kilometers away from the border, Howard refuses to admit his involvement with Mike, resulting in the arrests of both Mike and Rafo, for kidnapping and petty theft, respectively. Allowed to stay at the motel till dawn, Rafo learns that his father wanted to be with him simply to battle Lexa in court for her money. In the morning, the pair escape in their separate ways, with Mike continuing his journey to Texas, and Rafo returning to the town of Janasco. To ensure Rafo's safety, Mike has the officers pursue him, which ends with him reaching Texas, with a gunshot wound on his shoulder. Realizing Mike is in the US, the officers decide to dismiss the case to avoid punishment for their failures. Ignoring his injury, Mike decides to return to Mexico, for the chance of reuniting with Rafo, once again. ===== ===== In Luanda, Angola, a flooded apartment building is home to many vibrant families. The story is centered around Odonato who lives on the sixth floor of the Maianga Building with his wife, Xilisbaba, their daughter, Amarelinha, and Granma Kunjikise. While searching for his lost son, Odonato's flesh becomes transparent as Luanda becomes unrecognizable. When his son, Ciente-the-Grand, stumbles into the Maianga Building late at night, bloodied from trying to rob someone's house, Little Daddy mistakes him for a thief. Little Daddy warns the other residents by whistling twice. Nga Nelucha hears the whistle on the fourth floor and wakes her husband, Edú. Edú takes a broom and bangs the ceiling to wake Comrade Mute, while Odonato's family wakes up at the same time. When everyone descends to see who it is, they learn that Ciente-the-Grand was shot up the buttocks. Ciente-the-Grand can not go to the hospital for fear that he will be arrested for attempted robbery. Unable to receive proper care, Ciente leaves the apartment and collapses outside of the building. A group of six policemen believe that Ciente is a "pot-head" and attempt to kick him awake, then take him into their police car. While searching for his son, Odonato runs into Superintendent Gadinho who helps to locate his son. A destitute Odonato discovers that the policemen took him down to a police station with a strict commanding officer. The story follows the private lives of many of the residents of the Maianga building, whose lives each touch upon an aspect of modern Luandan culture. On the third floor is Little Daddy who came to Luanda searching for his lost mother. The residents allow him to live in the building if he gets some work done. Senhor Eduardo, Edú, and Nga Nelucha live on the fourth floor. Edú is often visited by international specialists who are fascinated by the large hernia on his left testicle. Meanwhile, Comrade Mute on the fifth floor is an excellent barbecue cook who loves playing music from his apartment. In Luanda, excavations are being carried out in search of oil, which not only takes peace of mind from the city dwellers, but will severely damage the city as a whole. The excavations culminate in the entirety of Luanda burning as an errant spark turns the oil buried underneath the city into a firestorm. Odonato, having become nearly entirely transparent by the end of the novel, floats above the flames, away from the fire engulfing his former home. In this final scene, the magical realist symbolism is very important. Despite the many warnings of the dangers of the oil drilling project, capitalist politicians and powerful businesses hungry for money and nothing else pushed through with the oil drilling, causing Luanda to become an inferno. As a result, this novel uses magical realist elements as a critique of colonialism, capitalism, and the corrosive and harmful aspects of corrupt politicians. ===== ===== Jack Hart, an LAPD crime-scene-photographer, is experiencing marital problems, and becomes involved with a mysterious married woman, Jean Starr.

At a local tavern, Lissa is harassed by a drunken racist man who calls her derogatory African American slurs. A kindly waitress, Bessie, apologizes for the patron's behavior, and recommends the group venture to remote trails along Black Friar Lake as part of their snowmobiling excursion. Along the lake, Tom crashes into a tree and severely injures himself. Chris, a medical student, finds Tom is in shock, and that he needs shelter from the cold. The group find the rustic, abandoned Camp Saint Dominic, a religious summer camp, situated in the woods near the lake, and decide to stay the night. As Tom's condition worsens, Ron departs on snowmobile at nightfall to seek help. Shortly after Ron departs, Tom regains consciousness, but remains weak. Karen finds a number of mementos from the camp's past, including photographs as well as a makeshift ouija board. Karen, Chris, Lissa, and Jeannie begin to play with the board, though Jeannie is initially reluctant. The pointer on the board begins to spin rapidly, during which Tom goes into convulsions and becomes possessed by a demonic entity. Meanwhile, Ron crashes his snowmobile into a fence and is killed. While Karen and Chris have sex, Lissa explores the lodge, and finds newspaper clippings about a Satanic cult having taken over Camp Saint Dominic. Lissa becomes frightened, and is cornered in a pantry closet by a supernatural entity, where an industrial fan decapitates her. Chris goes to look for Lissa, but senses he is being watched. He flees outside, where he is impaled through the eye by a falling icicle. Tom insults Karen, suggesting Chris went to find Lissa to cheat on her. Jeannie notices Chris is acting uncharacteristic from his normal self. At Tom's request, Jeannie removes a bandages from his hand and head, and finds his wounds that were there shortly before have miraculously healed. Tom seduces Jeannie, and the two have passionate sex. Meanwhile, Karen is hanged in a volleyball net while exploring the camp gymnasium. In the morning, Jeannie finds her friend's corpses, and realizes Tom is missing. She consults the ouija board for answers, and it tells her Tom is her enemy, and to leave. As she flees, Jeannie witnesses a cloaked Tom ceremonially knelt beneath photographs of the camp's past visitors. She flees on a snowmobile, but is pursued by Tom, who boards Ron's crashed snowmobile. A protracted chase ensues before Tom crashes into a snowplow, which runs over his body, crushing him and causing his snowmobile to explode. Tom, caught in the inferno, is burned alive. Jeannie flees the scene as a sheriff arrives. In voiceover narration from thirty years in the future, Jeannie, recalling the events, explains that she revisited Black Friar Lake and found the camp was merely a set of ruins—it had burned down decades prior. She expresses regret over agreeing to partake in the ouija board, but that the curiosity to do so was in her nature. ===== An English atomic scientist (Alister Smart) on his way to a Pacific testing site takes refuge in a lonely house in Brisbane.

A former board member of the company, Henry Leggatt, is now a Member of Parliament for the political party in power, as well as being the Parliamentary Secretary for Robert Seneschal, the Minister of Social Welfare and a striver who thinks that he should rightfully be prime minister. Leggatt is made aware, however, that there may be dangerous, unintended side-effects to Mecron, and he and his senior take quiet steps to see that the drug is withdrawn from the market until more conclusive studies have been carried out. A disgruntled underling, however, discloses this to a notorious newspaper and Mecron immediately becomes a scandalous public issue. Colonel Russell of the Security Executive, in this book without his "invaluable" aide, Major Mortimer, and without consultations with his Minister, Gabriel Palliser, the Home Office Secretary, is alerted to the fact that a lucrative black market has quickly come into being to sell small quantities of the now-illicit drug. A beautiful young Frenchwoman, Rachel Borrodaile, is his chosen operative for this book; she has been in the French Resistance during World War II, where she had known Henry Leggatt, then serving in the British forces. Captured by the Gestapo, she has been severely tortured and spent two years in the hospital afterward. Now she is a highly trained, highly dangerous British operative, given carte blanche by Russell to do whatever is necessary to shut down the black market. A small gang of ruthless Cypriots, already known to the police, has secured a supply of Mecron and, while their chemist in Turkey attempts to duplicate the drug, has killed at least one man in London and then kidnapped and begun to torture Henry Leggatt, hoping he will lead them to stockpiled supplies at his former pharmaceutical company. Rachel Borrodaile, however, has recently renewed her friendship with Leggatt after 16 years and is both motivated and determined to thwart the Cypriots.

Sir William Banner, a highly successful industrialist and jovial bon vivant, has hired Rex Hadley to be the chief production engineer at Maldington, a new, top-secret, and ferociously guarded plant not far from London where development is underway on Project A, a non- nuclear explosive that, if successful, will be 10 to 12 times more powerful than those presently being used by militaries around the world. But before taking up his new post, Hadley is ordered by Banner to take a vacation at the Italian ski resort of Sestriere. There Hadley is befriended by Francis de Fleury, a high-level French intelligence agent and his Central European mistress. Once back in England, de Fleury begins to try to draw Hadley into his circle. Unbeknownst to de Fleury, however, his charming mistress, Mary Francom, is actually an operative for Colonel Russell of the Security Executive, whose brief it is to protect Maldington and its employees by all possible means. Victor, the one-armed but murderously brutal head of a French espionage agency, is ordered by his master, the grandiose President, to secure the secrets of Project A at any cost. Ignoring the more delicate operation against Hadley already put in place by his subordinate and fellow-countryman de Fleury, Victor mounts a nocturnal war-like strike against Maldington involving helicopters, soldiers, land-mines, deliberate murders, and potential kidnappings of key personnel. At the cost of several lives, the Executive thwarts Victor's operation and so for the moment de Fleury's plans to blackmail Hadley into cooperation come to the forefront. But these too are thwarted, by Sir William Banner and Colonel Russell acting together, and Hadley returns to Sestriere for yet another skiing vacation, closely watched this time by both British and Italian intelligence and police agents. Victor, however, with nothing to lose, crosses the nearby border and manages to isolate both Hadley and his now-girlfriend, Mary Francom, in a stalled cable car high in the Italian Alps. There he intends to torture Hadley into revealing what Victor thinks are the secrets of Project A. Fortunately for Sir William Banner and the developments at Maldington, both the "invaluable" Major Mortimer of the Security Executive of earlier books and the now-renegade Francis de Fleury are in near proximity on the ground below and a determined Mary Francom is in the disabled ski lift.

He is the world's greatest expert in microwaves, which have become vital in the development of anti-ballistic missile defenses. It is a political decision: there are mounting tensions within his country between different groups of Communists, and the Soviets (also unnamed, but clearly identified) are trying to interfere in an unhelpful way. Gorgan is a prize that any of the factions would like to seize (or simply kill), so England, which enjoys friendly relations with Gorgan's President, is seen as being a sanctuary for weeks or even months. And Gorgan's masters have confidence that the Special Branch and Colonel Russell's Security Executive together will be able to secure his safety. Gorgan, however, although a relatively young, hard- living bon vivante, also has a serious neurological issue and he collapses immediately upon arrival in England and is rushed to a private hospital in the countryside where he will spend weeks in fitful recuperation. Seizing this unexpected opportunity, one of the factions immediately makes an attempt on his life but is thwarted by the Security Executive. And now another unforeseen faction appears: Americans, who are nominal allies of the English. Rather than wanting to kill him, at least one of them, an Embassy diplomat and multi- millionaire, merely wants to brainwash him and drain him of his knowledge of microwaves. But Colonel Russell, now aided by the timely reappearance of his "invaluable" aide Major Mortimer from earlier books, enlists the help of James Scobell, a American semi-colleague who clearly works for the unnamed CIA, and with Mortimer and Scobell consulting closely, he arranges an elaborate rescue of Gorgan from a kidnapping contrived to deliver him clandestinely to Russia. At the very end of the book Russell and his ministerial master from earlier books, Gabriel Palliser, are discussing what to do with Gorgan, now arranged by the Yugoslavs to be in England for a long period of time. Sir William Banner, the prominent industrialist from the previous High Wire, is proposed as being a possible patron. Russell agrees but says firmly: "We mustn't cheat."
