About this title

Synopsis

Hired by moneymen to funnel funds to anti-Aqurno rebels but interested chiefly in lining his own pocket, Booth Stallings seeks the help of the wily Artie Wu, pretender to the Chinese throne, in pulling off his dangerous scam

Reviews

Booth Stallings, a 60-year-old Washington expert on terrorism, is suddenly fired from his job and then offered half a million dollars to act as liaison between a Philippines guerilla leader and a shadowy group who want that leader retired to Hong Kong with a $5-million payoff. Not knowing whether he is working for private interests or the intelligence community, Stallings decides to enlist specialized help before leaving for Manila. His chosen allies are a group of con men who spend most of their time attempting to swindle the guerillas, the CIA, and each other in order to get their hands on the 5 million. This is a complex, and often confusing, novel with a lot of loose ends. Not up to Thomas's usual standard. John North, L.R.C., Ryerson Polytechnical Inst., Toronto
