Assignment: Israel by Manning Lee Stokes

Assignment: Israel
by Manning Lee Stokes

A Deranged Nazi Killer Out to Destroy the Mideast


He was known as "The Butcher" and he was a former Hitler henchman who was responsible for more murders than any other man alive. Depraved in mind and body, he hungered for men and women with the same insatiable appetite. He was hunted as a war criminal by the Israelis and he lusted for the chance to massacre his enemies. 


A captured Communist document gave the United States the whole story. But finding "The Butcher" and stopping him were something else. Plastic surgery made the first half of the problem impossible while the Arabs' hatred of the Jews choked off the second half. 


The United States was banking on Nick Carter and it supplied him with the most tantalizing helper, a beautiful Israeli agent named Sabra. Sabra had the body of a goddess and the heart of an efficient killing machine. For "The Butcher" a Middle-East holocaust would be a personal victory, but the rest of the world it held a greater meaning. For the Chinese had already started the world towards WW III.

The Filthy Five by Manning Lee Stokes

The Filthy Five
by Manning Lee Stokes

Killmaster uncovers a plot to assassinate the President of the United States
A life worth a billion dollars in Chinese gold!


American intelligence had intercepted the message. The Red Chinese were paying one billion dollars to have the US President killed. The money was used to create a super weapon out of five convicted murderers. But the US could not act without proof. This was a mission for only one person, Nick Carter, Killmaster. The nation waited in horror as Nick battled the insurmountable odds. Tortured and a young lady was killed as to avert failure. The assassination plot had to be stopped at all costs, the clock was running out fast.



Four people stood in the way
Dona Lanzos: She was filled with hate for the men who killed her lover. She was more than wiling to use her body as a weapon or revenge.

Harry Crabtree: He hated mankind. He was a sadistic hired killer who got a sickening, terrible kick out of his job.

Malcolm Drake: He could not stop hating his crippled and useless body. Having life and death power over others help to ease the pain. He would torture, betray, and murder for power.

Ramon Ramirez: He was a skilled expert at his work. His work was killing, and Nick was to be his victim.
