Description
At the Tango briefing, Quiller got his orders. Orders that sent him on a bizarre undercover operation, a double-suicide mission in the Sahara. His assignment: find & destroy a my sterious downed aircraft before the world learns of its existence, before its cargo is disclosed, & before enemy agents destroy the plane - & possibly Quiller along with it!Tags

A desert reconnaissance for Quiller this time -- somewhere near the Tunisian border looking for the wreck of a plane referred to as Tango Victor ... [T]he action is sketchier than in other Quiller appearances but you do read it, edgily, partly in the anticipation of what is to come and partly with a kind of 20-20 nostalgia to which Michael Caine's dark glasses have contributed materially.

- First words
- I came in over the Pole and we were stacked up for nearly twenty minutes in a holding circuit round London before they could find us a runway and then we had to wait for a bottleneck on the ground to get itself sorted out and... (show all) all we could do was stare through the windows at the downpour and that didn't help.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Of course he started asking a lot of questions but I cut him short, told him where I was, north of the rocks, told him to pull me out.
