Suicide Seat by George Warren

A routine assignment, until it starts looking like Nick Carter's farewell performance!

George Gross Cover
Bringing the girl out of Mexico is just delicate enough to call for Nick Carter's talents, but nothing fancy. Until Nick finds out that his support system has failed. AXE has been pulled our from under him and he is suddenly persona no grata in Washington D.C. And his boss, David Hawk, has disappeared! It's high suspense when Nick Carter "Killmaster N3" strikes out on his own against a ring of white slavers with very sensitive OPEC connections!

The Doomsday Spore by George Warren

A fanatical scheme to start an epidemic of murder!

George Gross Cover


The embassy party ended with a bang. Nick Carter "Killmaster N3" was there to protect the VIPs. He realized he had failed when the main attraction, a magician, did a vanishing act and the British Ambassador was found in a cake of ice, with a dagger in his chest. Nick is left with a cold trail that gets suddenly hot when he discovers that the murderer has a list of victims. Nick's name is on it, so is his boss David Hawk. The only clues are the disappearing magician and a boot heel that leads him to the headquarters of the Red Swineherd Gang. Finding them is just a setup for the big threat. Because they have the Doomsday Spore, a deadly virus picked up on a space mission, that eats away human flesh. It could be a bluff, but why is the press running the headline.
End Of The World?!

The Vulcan Disaster by George Warren

The microfilm was missing.
Already more than a dozen men had been brutally murdered for it.
And Nick Carter was scheduled to be next.

Around the world....on the trail of murder


Saigon
It was the last days of the war, and in the middle of the bloodshed Nick has to find a man named Walter Corbin. And the roll of microfilm. He found his man just in time to see his head scattered into a million pieces. 

Hong Kong
The trail from sampan city, where silence was safety, to a series of brutal, vicious murders, Nick Carter Killmaster was certain of one thing. The organization behind those killings had more at stake than roll of film.

Washington
Nick needed an update from Hawk. He called the States, but AXE had vanished! Free to die in Hong Kong gutter while powerful men made plans for global revenge!
