Synopsis

Well-known and acclaimed for their fast pace and rich local color, adventure thrillers by the classic action writer are presented here in double doses, each volume including special bonus materials The Spoilers: When film tycoon Robert Hellier loses his daughter to heroin, he declares war on the drug peddlers, the faceless overlords whose greed supplies the world with its deadly pleasures. London drug specialist Nicholas Warren is called upon to organize an expedition to the Middle East to track down and destroy them—but with 100 million dollars worth of heroin at stake, Warren knows he will have to use methods as deadly as his prey. Juggernaut: It was no ordinary juggernaut. Longer than a football pitch, weighing 550 tons, and moving at just five miles per hour, its job—and that of troubleshooter Neil Mannix—is to move a giant transformer across an oil-rich African state. But when Nyala erupts in civil war, Mannix's juggernaut is at the center of the conflict—a target of ambush and threat, with no way to run and nowhere to hide. "The House of the Lions" is also included, a previously unpublished story written exclusively for Desmond Bagley's Christmas house guests in the 1960s.
