Colin Garrett is the Super Hero with the highest I.Q. ever seen ... and the man with a brain faster than a computer, called in as special agent only for the most impossible missions.
This time it's hell on earth for Colin – almost literally. He's assigned to investigate the President's Chief Adviser on Foreign Affairs and finds himself in the Beelzebub Club...
... a haven of sex and Satanism for Senators – possibly a front for enemy political activists. When Colin comes up against the leader he finds his super brain-power matched by a mind shield of a man who is likely to destroy him!
(no UK paperback)
I first came across the these in the mid to late 70s when as a teenager I bought the Aardvark affair on a holiday to Bude. Loved it and always remembered it. Fast forward to 2PM today when I looked for these online at amazon. Sadly not available for kindle although quite a lot of other works by Brandner are. Also found out on Wikipedia that he died last month. So finding this here tonight is a wonderful coincidence. Even though the Big Brain books aren't available, some others I looked for are - Adrift In The Stratosphere (the worst sci-fi book ever according to some - the eight year old me didn't know that when I read it), The Expendables - Deathworms Of Kratos, The Benedict Arnold Connection - all now sitting on my kindle waiting to be read.
ReplyDeleteBTW - I am one of those people who shows up here every day - thanks for all the work you put in to keep us informed and inspired.
