I guess the younger generations will never know what we see in the old black & white movies, or why we enjoy reading the older pulp novels occasionally. Though this novel was written in the early 80s, Donald Hamilton continued to used the style adopted when he started this series in the 60s. I very much enjoyed the action and adventure, and will continue to look for these older novels, as they always provided a simpler story than their modern successors.
Typical Matt Helm adventure. Hamilton's no nonsense style works well here and there is plenty of action as Helm seeks revenge for a murdered friend.
Secret Agent Matt Helm's 20th adventure takes him into the realm of the Aztec and Maya in Central America, complete with plots and twists of political intrigue, amorous adventure, kidnapping, assasination and deception.
