Red China tries to get its hands on Nepal, and it's up to Killmaster Nick Carter to stop them, in Operation Snake, one of Jon Messman's entries in the long-running spy series.
Carter needs (various kinds of ) help from two women, one a British journalist and the other the daughter of a local leader. Less inviting is a pit of snakes and a Yeti-type creature, all in a day's work for Carter.
Messman's entries are often considered some of the better ones from a wide range of offerings, and he wrote steadily in "Men's Adventure" and westerns under a number of names (his Trailsman series preeminent among them).
60s Nick Carter doesn't offer much in the way of finely-shaded characterization but offers plenty of slam-bang action, of which this entry is one. Good for fans.
I got this in a big stack of Nick Carters and read it quickly.
