Operator 5: The Complete Series, Volume 3 (Deluxe Edition)

Description

Before Bond, there was Operator 5: James Christopher—America’s top undercover ace—introduced in 1933 and written by Frederick C. Davis under the house name Curtis Steele. Collected here are five more of his most devastating missions, in which Christopher faces fleet‑sinking invasions, skyscraper‑toppling plots, sinister cults, and home‑grown saboteurs determined to raze the republic. Armed with a .45, a rapier, and a tiny golden skull that holds enough poison to end a thousand enemies, Operator 5 wages a monthly war to save the United States from total destruction.

Restored with illustrations and an illuminating new introduction by Will Murray, this deluxe volume is pulp espionage at its most apocalyptic and cinematic.
