Section One was not dead -- after America, he'd be back to give it life again -- but it was badly mangled. Last week, it had been the most effective operational unit of the People's Revolutionary Force for Direct Action.-- The Hidden Target by Helen MacInnes.
I have a stack of Helen MacInnes books and always enjoy them. This is a later one, published in 1980, and involves "a new undercover counter-terrorist network" and "a deadly game playing across thee continents."
It was a little dense to start with, but now that the players are in place and the adventure has begun, it is rolling right along.
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by Should Be Reading, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.
I've never read anything by Helen McInnes, though there are some in the stack by my bed.
