	Assignment—Afghan Dragon Sam Durell #42 First published 1976 Edward S. Aarons It was supposed to be a routine assignment. Nothing Dangerous. Nothing Sticky.

The missing Dragon had become a cause celebre. The Middle East had a brand new powderkeg. And Sam was sitting right on top of it. Durell was not happy. Someone was using him as a patsy. Someone had betrayed him. Someone on his own team. . . GM #p3527 #13527-6 #14085-7

In Louisiana a man named Peter Labouisse who owned a fishing boat was mutilated before his jugular vein was slit. And the link between these murders was a beautiful, fiery woman called Angelina.

	Assignment—Ankara Sam Durell #15 First published 1961 Edward S. Aarons IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. Their plane had been purposely lured off course, deliberately shot down. That meant the Russians knew where they were and would send a ship. How long would it be before they came and found the tape Durell was guarding? How long before they discovered who he was and put him through living hell until he'd have to take the pill the CIA supplied its agents because no human being could stand the agony of modern torture? And if no one came, how long would it be before the six passengers with Durell would erupt into savage hysteria, killing each other for food and water? But if that didn't happen, could they perhaps still survive? Fat chance. Soon the plane would shudder and go down. And then . . . well, it was just a matter of time.

	Assignment—Burma Girl Sam Durell #14 First published 1961 Edward S. Aarons The First Man had been given up for dead long ago and in another country. Now, twenty years later, there came a single bright shred of evidence that he was still alive. They sent the Second Man to find him. He got himself taken by guerillas, who stuffed him into a bamboo cage and hung him from a tree to see if he'd sing or croak. That's when the Third Man came into the picture. His name was Sam Durell, and he was a tougher cookie than the other two. An ex-whore with 300 million dollars' worth of influence sent him up the Irrawady and into the boondocks to bring them back—whole or in pieces. GM #s1091 #k1423 #d1612 #r2165 #t2669
