Microbes of Power

Book 6 in the series: In this stirring drama Sir Leonard Wallace, Chief of the British Secret Service, the idol of his subordinates and the terror of his enemies, again takes the centre of the stage. Major Wilson is never happier than when he is retailing the activities of Sir Leonard, and in this novel he has, in our opinion, surpassed all his previous achievements. The critic who described the last Wallace yarn as " the essence of excitement " will have to concentrate on coining a phrase even more telling when he turns his attention to Microbes of Power. For undiluted excitement the Wilson-Wallace combination stands supreme.
