"WE WILL BURY YOU!"
The Communist threat had never seemed so real! AXE had barely assigned Killmaster to his new mission when the message came from "the spoilers" — they were threatening to deal a death blow to American international influence.
It was clearly a job for Nick Carter — the most lethal of his career. For AXE's top Killmaster was destined to play the lead in the diabolical plot.
