"US agent Nick Carter is ordered to prevent Nepal from falling into the hands of China. To achieve this he must discredit Ghotak, high priest of the influential snake cult. This classic espionage series is currently out of print, so a rummage through secondhand book shops may be necessary."
Stephen Coombs, Resident Scholar
