The Terrorizers

De: Donald Hamilton

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki

The survivor of a plane crash wakes up in a hospital in Canada, his memory a blank. Then in walks Kitty, a gorgeous woman, who tells him that he is Paul Madden, a photographer and her fiancé. Not bad. Except that a man on the phone keeps calling him Matt Helm.

Things don’t add up. This can only mean trouble....

Helm's Kitty!

Now for something different. The small freighter, Island Prince fished Helm out of the water in Hecate Strait near British Columbia, Canada. Helm had the misfortune to crash in a chartered bush plane. The pilot, Herb Walters was presumed dead. The freighter dropped Helm off at their next stop and a helicopter took him to Prince Rupert Regional Hospital. Helm suffered from a knock on the head and didn’t remember much, including who he was. Catherine “Kitty” Davidson, a pretty young woman, showed up claiming the title of fiancée and proceeded to convey the 411 on who he was; Paul H. Madden, a freelance photographer from Seattle. Sally Wong, the young woman from the plane charter, showed up and filled in some more information about Paul Madden and the bush plane charter. Evidently, Paul Madden had a bit of a fling with Sally as well. Paul, err… Helm, was released from the hospital and saddled with the task of figuring out who he was. So much for the setup of the story. Helm was captured, of course, his usual method to find the enemy and gather information. Helm’s amnesia persisted and had him making decisions you would have never thought possible, but like all good things, they come to an end. As we round the turn heading towards the final stretch of the series, unusual events may take place. This is one of the more interesting novels.

The Bourne Identity 4 years BEFORE Ludlum's book

Quite possibly the BEST Matt Helm thriller book in the lengthy series, The Terrorizers keeps the reader on his/her/hix toes with constant actions and plots that interweave and finally unravel in a satisfactory conclusion. Stefan Rudnicki is, as always, the perfect narrator. TWO THUMBS UP

Possible Jason Bourne inspiration

Interesting but one of the clunkier stories in this series.
Mysogyny a little less in this one and main characters racism a bit higher

he almost got away with

hey almost got away with it to get out of the racket to have a peaceful life and not remember anything but you know how that turns out very good books

Fun Read

I never knew what would come next. He had his choice of girls. Not all of them lasted.
