Synopsis

“In the world of adventure writers, Jim Mullaney stands on top of the mountain. Read him now. You’ll marvel and then you’ll roll on the floor, laughing.” — Warren Murphy, creator of Remo Williams, The Destroyer

It's the end of all life on Earth unless the Red Menace and Dr. Wainwright can stop a crazed communist colonel's countdown to Armageddon!

WHO IS THE RED MENACE?

Throughout the 1950s this was the number one question from Moscow to Beijing and in every communist palace and malaria-ridden backwater in between. The mysterious masked figure was a shadow and a whisper. For the Kremlin and its fellow travelers he was a damnable monkey wrench tossed into the gears of the not-so-glorious worldwide revolution. Wherever Reds schemed, the Menace was there to set things right.

And then, just like that, 1960 came and the whisper grew silent.

Twelve years later, Patrick "Podge" Becket, computer tycoon and security expert, thinks he's hung up his mask and cape for good. He escaped the spy game while still a young man, and none but a select few know about his long-dead secret identity. But into his restless retirement steps a ghost from his past, a bitter Russian colonel with nothing to lose and the means to wreak worldwide destruction.

Aided by his partner, brilliant inventor and physician Dr. Thaddeus Wainwright, the Red Menace is dragged back into the hero game. But it's a whole new world out there, and if the Menace doesn't watch his step the swinging Seventies might just find him Red and Buried!
