Peter James: Atom Bomb Angel (UK 1982) From the Publisher: His whereabouts are apparently made known when MI5 intercept a film cassette delivered to Television Centre. There, standing in Red Square, is Sir Isaac himself, explaining his deep misgivings about the development and exploitation of nuclear energy by the West that has led to his defection to Russia. However, expert analysis of the film establishes that Sir Isaac's image has been superimposed on the film of Red Square and that the sound-track is a very skilled dubbing job. In other words, it is not a matter of defection but of a kidnapping. Max Flynn, MI5 agent extraordinaire, whose slick style was so successfully portrayed in Peter James' first novel Dead Letter Drop, tries to find out why the Russians have gone to such lengths to mislead the British public and whether this incident has any connection with the mysterious Operation Angel, which has already cost two men their lives. And someone is making strenuous efforts to persuade Max that he too should rapidly lose interest in penetrating the secrecy surrounding the code name... Peter James: Atom Bomb Angel. London: W.H. Allen, 1982, ISBN: 0491026277, 224 p., £7.95.
