The Strontium Code

A cargo of contamination headed for U.S. shores!

Securing the beta canister with its contents without upsetting OPEC's delicate balance is near routine challenge for Nick Carter "Killmaster N3". Until he learns that its deadly cargo is playing a crucial role in a vast and sinister Soviet scheme.

The contents: Fatally radioactive Strontium 90. Which can reduce human flesh to raw meat and promises a hideous and painful death!

The location: Aboard a Japanese tanker heading for California and the nation's largest oil refinery!

The clincher: The distinct possibility that Nick Carter himself has already been contaminated!
