(1960) Sci-fi (Gadgets) / Espionage (Kidnapping) / Short story (Magazine story)
Plot bullets
There is a secret American government organization having, hopefully, the anomalous name of 'The Society For Mystical and Metaphysical Research, Inc.'.
Agent Spencer Candron has a mission. Communist China has kidnapped the famous American physicists James Ch'ien, after faking his death by political radicals. Ch'ien's knowledge of the Interstellar Drive is critical to America.
Agent Candron has a quick mind and some rather advanced methods at his disposal. He must get to China, do his job and get himself and the physicists back alive.
It is a tangled web of deception. Success relies on the right hand never knowing 'What the Left Hand Was Doing'.
