Time Clock Of Death

by George Snyder

Nick's mission was to find the jet before the ultimatum runs out!

This was the ultimate in hijacking. Russia's super-secret jet, stolen from a New York airport, whisked from under the noses of guards. Hidden, but where? Nobody knew who had master-minded the plan, but Russia knew who had to be blamed, and if they didn't get a satisfactory answer from the United States, the missiles would take off. Nick Carter's only clue were a few garbled words from a dying man.

Time was running out. Russian missiles were programmed to attack. Their target, the United States. The Soviet's super-spy plane had been hijacked and the Kremlin blamed the Americans. But nobody knew who was really behind the plot, or how the hijackers got away with their fantastic feat. Nick Carter only had a few hours to find the missing plane. All he had to go on were a few garbled words from a dying man's lips and a beautiful women with an expensive taste for the bizarre.

But both agents are pros and soon develop a cautious respect for each other. Besides, she is beautiful and Nick Carter is Nick Carter, and where they are going the nights are long and cold.

The location of the Chinese installation was somewhere thousands of feet below the Arctic ice.
