Colin Forbes Knihy

The wave of the future confronts Tweed - carrying death for at least a hundred million people. With Paula Grey and Bob Newman, Tweed tracks the creator of the supreme weapon, Dr Goslar. Identity unknown - man or woman? The trail leads from the coast north of Dartmoor to London. Two mysterious women appear - Serena Cavendish, then Trudy Warner, just arrived from the US. Can Tweed trust either? Captain Alan Burgoyne, Gulf War veteran, joins Tweed`s team. The Yellow Man surfaces - the most savage assassin Tweed has ever encountered. The pursuit of Goslar moves to Paris. Tweed has many enemies - the French security services, a `non-existent` American unit, the rival British Special Brand - all determined to seize the weapon. From Paris, Tweed, always under threat, races to Geneva, on to Annecy. Goslar`s base is still unknown. He is close to delivering the weapon to the West`s mose fanatical opponent. Is Tweed too late? A crescendo climax explodes in remote snowbound mountains. For pace, for intriguing characters, Forbes has created his most atmospheric novel yet.

Paula Grey 'witnesses' the murder of Norbert Engel, key German Statesman. A veiled woman entered and left the building. One by one, the elite strongmen in a leaderless Europe are assassinated. Tension rises as Tweed, Paula and Bob Newman fly to Zurich, where a fresh assassination takes place. Again a veiled woman was seen. Tweed's pursuit leads to a strange village in Vienna where attempts are made to kill him.

Rejecting any terrorist involvement, Tweed senses the danger but cannot identify the source. His desperate search drives Grey, Newman and Cardon underground inside Europe. And Cardon is trapped in an emotional situation with a strange woman.

NO ONE IS WHAT THEY SEEM TO BE... Who is Lisa Trent, mysterious redhead who warns Tweed of impending catastrophe? Aides to top statesmen in Washington, London, Paris and Berlin are murdered by the invisible Mr Blue. Tweed, Paula and Newman race to East Sussex to view the second victim, then back to London which, mercifully, they reach alive. Tweed meets slippery Gavin Thunder, flamboyant Oskar Vernon, the devious Mrs France and murderous Delgado. Lisa -- fleeing for her life -- keeps reappearing. Pursuing the secret Elite Club, Tweed and his team fly to Hamburg to meet a key informant -- just before he too is murdered. The frenetic pursuit leads to ancient Flensburg on the Danish border, the team always under attack. But who is Rhinoceros? Could it be urbane Victor Rondel, partner in the world's richest bank? The startling climax erupts violently on Berg island in the Baltic.

" ...Urgent you penetrate icefield for possible rendezvous. Maximum risk must be accepted. Repeat. Must be accepted." In the weird world where huge ice islands rotate round the North Pole, Soviet submarines still prowl beneath the icecap. Top Russian oceanographer Michael Gorov, early believer in world peace, flees from his Soviet base to hand the West secrets which would neutralize the East's potential stranglehold. His escape route is across the grimmest terrain on earth - the empty wastes of the frozen Arctic. Keith Beaumont, Polar veteran, is sent to bring Gorov in to safety. Moscow sends master polar strategist, Colonel Igor Papanin to seize him first. Exposed to traitors and worsening weather, Beaumont struggles to outwit a whole Soviet fleet to save Gorov - to help him to reach the Western base. "Colin Forbes 'has no equal'" - "Sunday Mirror".
