Matt Helm -- real American Hero

Every Matt Helm book is great. Don't delay getting this book. You'll fall in love with this rough, tough, lovable guy.

Matt Helm, a damaged girl and a race against time! Great!

One of the classic -- early -- Matt Helm books. Forget most other rivals, only Mr Helm, with his taste in women, hunting knives and total espionage professionalism -- will do.

Helm meets his match

Our Man Helm is in trouble. It seems he carried out a mission as required but overlooked an ex-Nazi agent and a Russian missile in the process. Matt is sent to find both after they disappear. He is also given a broken female agent to rehabilitate as an extra duty. An above average Helm adventure, this mission introduces Vadya, the seductive Russian agent who will bedevil our hero in several more adventures. The political assassination in the first chapters will also have future repercussions for Helm. As always, Hamilton mixes an exciting tale with bits of Helm's sardonic humor ( a hallmark of the Fawcett paperback series heroes). By all means find this book.

Tough and realistic secret agent story

Matt Helm embarks on a secret mission in Costa Verde at which time he finds a Russian missile, a Nazi WWII soldier, and a severely tortured girl. When Matt reports to Mac, he is assigned to find the missile which is now in Mexico. Here he has his first encounter with a beautiful Russian agent named, "Vadya" and enters into a contest to destroy the missile. This is another of author Donald Hamiltons great Matt Helm series.
