Synopsis: 'The CIA is on edge. All signs indicate that something is coming at the United States; perhaps another 9/11, maybe bigger.
The body of a CIA agent is dumped on the steps of the US embassy in Mexico. His last operation was to tap into the communications of the Chinese embassy, but there is no record of why.
The agency again turns to Kirt McCarvey - an old warhorse trying to retire - to figure out the connection between China and the murdered agent.
Hit only informant is a darkly sensuous Iranian belling dancer. Though her story changes with the wind, her shattered mind holds the only clues to the terrifying truth behind the agent's death.' From the book cover.
Review: The only likable character in the whole story is the computer geek. The story drags with dialogue that no one would believe, and details that are completely inane. Although this is one of a series, I won't be reading any of the other books.

The first of a short lived attempt to get a modern (1980s) paperback franchise out of a 1930s character by discarding just about everything from the original apart from the central characters' names.

Not badly written - though the writer* does forget from time to time the geography of the giant space ship that plays a central part of the book. There's lots of 'up' and 'down' and people throwing themselves to the floor of areas which were, on the previous page, weightless.

* (whoever they were, there is not an author's name credited anywhere that I can find on the book)… (meer)

At the start of the book Flash is at the helm of an "18.5 trillion ton warship", "over 15 kilometres in diameter", "ploughing its way majestically through hyperspace".

Gosh!

After 195 pages of running up and down corridors and getting shot at by, and shooting at, anything that moved (that wasn't Dale Arden or 'aged scientist' Doctor Zarkov) - and pausing only to be battered unconscious several times and have periods of guilt and introspection - Flash Gordon ends a ten thousand year old pan-galactic war.

During several of his periods of guilt and introspection he neatly summarised the events of book 2 so I don't have to bother reading it - which is fine by me
