The Death Merchant: The continuing exploits of Richard Camellion, master of death, destruction, and disguise.  He gets the dirty jobs, the impossible missions, the operations that cannot be handled by the FBI, CIA, or any other legal or extra-legal force.  He is a man without a face, without a single identifying characteristic...except that he succeeds by being a merchant of death.

Now, fresh from his latest hit, the Death Merchant has been summoned to a top-echelon conference at a little restaurant near Chicago's Loop.

Come inside and meet the Family...

And nearly every facet of the plot is locked in place.  Top military figures are involved, operatives within the CIA and FBI have those agencies rigged - and any other needs have been bought or bribed by Fletcher and his Knights of Vigilance.

Only one man seems to be in the way, Richard Camellion, the master of death, destruction and disguise...also known as the Death Merchant!

Can he derail Fletcher's mad and murderous plot before it's too late?!

In testing the Psychotron the Russians destroy the minds of 209 villagers of Bel Sida, a small Bedouin settlement in the Sinai.

The Israelis are very concerned, realizing that the weapon might very easily be aimed at them next.  Strategically, by using the Psychotron for telepathic hypnosis, the Russians and Egyptians could annihilate Israel.

It's a mission for Richard Camellion, master of disguise, deception and destruction - The Death Merchant!

Now it's a race against time - with a deadline of murder - because the head of Project Toro, the government's program to put a space shuttle into operation before the end of the year, has been kidnapped from Cape Kennedy.  The CIA believes that the Chinese are responsible.  So do the Russians.  Their top espionage group, the GRU, is working with the Americans to find Dr. Goddard and the secrets of his brilliant mind holds before it is too late for Western civilization.

The man who planned the ruthless project is ex-Nazi General Hans Hugo Kronsleiter, who runs a "private" spy group for Red China.  Can he be prevented from taking Goddard out of the US to Canada and then to China?

A job for the Death Merchant!

It was developed by Jean Pierre Duvessalines - the sadistic dictator of a Caribbean empire.   He has a cunning plan to enable him to rule the entire northern hemisphere.  He's going to trap Russia and the United States, using germ warfare as the bait, and then watch them destroy each other.  Next...

When the United States and Russia find out, they send out an SOS for an antidote.  The GRU sends Colonel Boris Yushkik to head their section; the CIA, naturally, wants to find the best man in the country to defeat the diabolical scheme.  And fast!  But who?  Who else but the master of death and deception, the expert at extermination - The Death Merchant!

The men at Falcon I are experts in death by modern technology; they learned their trade at Peenemunde making rockets for Hitler's conquest of the free world.  Now they're trying again - with only Richard Camellion between them and hellish success.

He is only one man - alone against a fiendish plot - but he is the incredible Death Merchant!

The web grows tighter by the minute - the Spider vs. the Death Merchant.

The Russians want to use Cuba as the main base for all revolutionary activity in South America, and Castro refuses to go along with them.  He's making peace overtures to the United States and doesn't want to be held responsible for the violent upheavals due in the south.

The plans were made.  Richard Camellion would enter Cuba under a Canadian passport, posing as a left-wing Castro supporter.  Then somehow, he would try to contact those who could help him save Castro.

But if Camellion was caught by the Cuban Army Intelligence - Castro's own men - who knew nothing of the scheme, he would be as dead as if he were discovered by the GRU.

Cleveland Winston Silvestter appoints himself Lucifer's ambassador, with the full title of Ambassador of Emperor Lucifuge Rofocale.  His mission is to destroy the world - eliminate civilization!  No one will be spared but the ambassador and his followers, the 200 members of New Dawn, who will be safe in an underground city built on a giant ranch in Australia.  He plans to annihilate mankind by triggering an all-out nuclear war.  Then Lucifer can take over.

First, the Israeli premier is killed by a bomb.  The Egyptians are blamed, of course.  Next an attempt is made on the life of the French premier.  This time the Israelis are suspected.  Fidel Castro is almost assassinated.  Who else but the Americans would do such a thing?  Then the CIA learns of a plot to kill the President of the United States, and the GRU discovers a plot to kill their premier!

The two superpowers confer.  They've been watching Silvestter for a long time but have been unable to stop him.  Proof is needed, and there is only one man capable of smashing the fiendish scheme before it's too late - another ambassador of annihilation, a man who, like Satan himself, is a master of disguise and deception.

The Death Merchant and the Devil are hell-bent on a collision course!

Known as die brandwunde, a test model is still in existence.  Where?  The Egyptian doesn't know.  All he knows is what a Nazi war criminal told him: that the laser death ray machine is buried in the sands somewhere in northeast Libya.  Do the Russians know about the device?  No, but the Libyan intelligence service does!  This means that the Libyan dictator and his boys are also searching for die brandwunde.

Locating the superweapon is a job too big for the Israelis to handle by themselves, and they turn to Uncle Sam.  The CIA.  The Central Intelligence Agency calls in Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant.

He is to find die brandwunde, dig it up, and bring it out.  Fast.

Wreck the youth of a nation and you wreck its future.  Simple.  The plan is diabolical, seemingly foolproof.

Can the Death Merchant concoct a special strategy to counteract this fiendish plot?  Can one man - however brave and ingenious - hope to win against the combined might of the mafia and the North Korean Reds?

Richard Camellion has an idea...and as the master of death and deception, he specializes in the impossible.

Richard Camellion is directing a bloody drama to ring the final curtain down on organized crime - forever.  He'll do it any way he can.  He's been given the green light by Washington.  No combination of soldato hit men can stop him.  He's on the warpath...and ten times more dangerous to the four families than an army of red-taped federal cops.

It's a mop-up and a wipeout scene in Manhattan!

To make things even more convincing, the KGB is prepared to sacrifice a valuable illegal agent and nine other Soviet agents to guarantee that Camellion go to his death as a traitor in the eyes of his countrymen.

The hunted target of both his colleagues and his enemies, the Death Merchant becomes the object of the most intense and desperate manhunt in the history of international espionage.  Only one outrageous, longshot risk can save him this time.

By sheer chance, Hamosad - Israeli Intelligence - in hot pursuit of German war criminals, stumbled upon this bizarre collection of misfits.  Recognizing their limitations, they turned to the CIA, which called upon the services of the Death Merchant, the only man capable of aborting the dream of future "Reich Glory"!

Leading a small "anthropological" expedition into the sweltering Mato Grosso, Richard Camellion knew that his chances of survival diminished the deeper he penetrated the jungle.  But even his wildest imaginings could not prepare him for the blood-draining horrors that awaited him.

Assassination, skyjacking, letterbombing, and every possible terrorist activity has been used by the VGH.  The Israelis have been repeatedly hit by the fanatical campaign, and have been unable to penetrate the terrorist camp.

Now the VGH is assembling a rocket with an atomic warhead, and plans to unleash the murderous weapon on Tel Aviv.  The rocket will kill every person in the city, and flatten the area into a pile of radioactive rubble.  It is only a question of time.

And Richard Camellion, The Death Merchant, makes his very first move...into a Jordanian prison!  His CIA contact in Amman is murdered.  It is to be Camellion's wildest and most incredible race against time and disaster.

Can one man possibly succeed where nations and armies have failed?

The Spider is now attempting to snatch a huge treasure in gold - $2 billion worth - from the Atlantic waters off Argentina.  Only four men are known to have the exact location.  One is dead.  A second has disappeared.

Enter the Death Merchant, Richard Camellion, courtesy CIA.

A meeting in Vienna with one of the two survivors.  Maria-Theresian Plaza.  A beautiful park, as only the Austrians could design it.  Gay, green, and full of sunshine and life.  Until the Death Merchant and six Spider agents turn it into a bullet-spattered slaughter ground.

Only one man would walk away...with a last clue.

Would the Spider be waiting?

Clone the Death Merchant!  Duplicate the one-man army, Richard Camellion, a thousand times.

In a stunning finale, Camellion must do battle against five of his exact replicas.  The whole of Africa may be changed by the outcome.

The only man capable of such a mission is the Death Merchant.  He must infiltrate Zemlya One (guarded by the infamous KGB security boss Colonel Vershemsky), get the information, and escape - taking with him the Russian-born CIA contact living on Z-1.

One man against a Russian city!  No small wonder that the Death Merchant considers this his most dangerous mission ever.

Could this be the start of World War III?

There are two informants among the Sons of Allah - one feeding information to the Soviets, the other to the CIA.  Will the informants'  leak prevent this catastrophe?

Enter the Death Merchant, Richard Camellion, courtesy of the CIA.  His assignment: kill the leaders of the Black Avengers and the fanatical directors of the Blood Sons of Allah.

Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant, is the one man capable of doing the job: locating the bombs, preventing their detonation, and then eliminating the eliminators.  Camellion is the USA's secret superbomb!

The Pentagon is concerned because Soviet KGB boss, Major Kondrashev has discovered the location.  The CIA cannot afford to ignore this report, no matter how bizarre it sounds.  If only partly true, the potential value of these ideas to a world power like Russia could be disastrous to the USA...possibly the free world.

Another mission for Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant!

Join him as he battles his old nemesis, the KGB, and the deadly Indian tribesmen of Raj-mahal to locate the secret room - and prevent the vital information from becoming an enemy weapon.

Kondrashev has also reported rumors of a "lost land" somewhere close to the North Pole!

The man for the job?  The Death Merchant.  His mission?  Stop the Russian weather experiments!  Find the "lost land"!  But do it by not starting World War III!

The CIA is certain that "Steel Ball" is somewhere in Eastern Europe.  But where?  They know he will stay clear of American and British embassies because they are being watched by the KGB, as well as the intelligence services of other East European communist nations.  The next step?  The CIA sends the Death Merchant, Richard Camellion, to find this double defector and somehow get him into the US.

Join the Death Merchant as he battles through Europe - from East Germany to Czechoslovakia, then back to Communist Germany.  He's a one man army against the Russian KGB, the East German SSD, and the Czech SNB.  It's a deadly job, but he's done it before!

The DIA has only been able to get two leads: the hallucinogen gas has almost been perfected, and the project is under the directorship of Imre Maleter, a top Hungarian biochemist.

Do the Russians know what we know?  Will the KGB get to NK-hk-4 before we do?

Join Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant, as he fights his way through Budapest, determined to get to Karolyi Castle in the Bakony Mountains, where the gas is being developed.  He's racing against the Russians, in search of the formula that could immobilize the world!

The CIA investigates and finds out that the Cuban code name for the operation is Kronos.  The plot: Castro is planning to blow up two ocean-going vessels in the main locks and destroy the Panama Canal with tons of high explosives.  They are worried because Cuban Intelligence, as a result of 'de-Castroization" is under the firm control of the Soviet Union.  This means that the Kronos plot has the stamp of approval of the KGB!

Join Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant, as he fights his way through Panama, battling not only the Cuban secret police, but agents of the Panamanian National Department of Investigation as well.  It's a plot spawned in hell!  The Death Merchant knows what he must do - smash the Kronos plot before the canal is destroyed!

Enter the Death Merchant.  His job - go as a member of the Grundy Bible Institute and bring back photographs of the entire Soviet border sector with details of any secret installations.  There's just one complication: The wily Turks have allowed a Russian expedition to climb at the same time.

In the race up Ararat to the Ark the Death Merchant matches wits and brawn against the entire Soviet team making the forty-day flood of history seem dry!

The Mexican government once ignored this.  But the various revolutionary groups have now merged under the banner of the 23rd of September Communist League and are armed with American weapons.  Their financing?  Simple.  They sell drugs to Americans in return for weapons.  Automatic weapons.

The Federales appeal to Washington and there is only one man for the job: Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant.  An easy mission - merely halting the entire drug traffic across the border and preventing a bloody and ruthless revolution.

When the satellite goes off course and crashes in the jungle of Surinam, a tiny country in northern South America, there's only one man NSA will send to find it - Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant.

His mission - to destroy WINK-EYE-1, the film, and anyone who gets in his way, before the Soviets get to it, and to save the United States from nuclear destruction!

In order to plunge the world into turmoil and set nation against nation, the URA plans to assassinate key international figures and blow up their embassies.  Then the Kompei, the Japanese intelligence service, learns that the URA also plans to assassinate the President of the Philippines and the Emperor of Japan, and blame the murders on the CIA!

Only one man can stop the insidious world revolution - Richard Camellion.  Ordered to smash the Red Army completely, the Death Merchant dips into his bag of deadly tricks to save the United States - and the world - from the ultimate disaster!

The question: Who is the one man capable of stopping this hideous epidemic before it even gets started?  The answer: Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant.  His job: Find the secret laboratory somewhere in the Crimea, destroy the formula - and make sure no one remains alive who can recreate it in the future!

The CIA knows that the Red Chinese and the Russians are trying to find it.  Obviously the CIA must acknowledge these rumors, and get there first.  But without openly involving the US, how can they get an expedition started?

There's only one man who can handle anything of that magnitude with the necessary subtlety - Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant.  And so, along with Vallie West, an old CIA pro, Camellion begins one of the most eerie - and deadly - adventures of his career.

Question: What will happen when the North Koreans find out what a valuable catch they have fished up from the sea?  Answer: If the information stored in Dr. Hausheer's head falls into the wrong hands, it might mean disaster to the US - possibly to the rest of the democratic world.

The CIA knows that only one man can nip the impending holocaust in the bud: Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant.  His job: Get the Hausheers out of North Korea before either one is forced to talk - or kill them both!

His enemies are legion, but so far no one has been able to tie the feared and hated "Death Merchant" to private citizen Richard Camellion.  Except that someone did.  And that someone seems to be in three different places at once, to have a hundred eyes, and be as well trained in firearms, Oriental martial arts, poisons and electronics as Camellion himself...someone who thinks like the Death Merchant, and is always one step ahead of him - or behind him...

But the Death Merchant's true identity is known only to a carefully selected few.  And that means that someone Camellion knows has betrayed him.

Only one man is crafty enough to infiltrate the deadly "Council Six" and prevent an international slaughter.  That man is Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant - man of a thousand faces, whose trigger finger is as quick as his computer mind.  But "Council Six" is diabolically clever - and this time Camellion may have met his match...

When the Russians begin building an enormous complex that appears to be not only a radar station but a sophisticated weather experimental base, this can only mean trouble for the free world.

In a worried washington, the decision is made: Wrangel Island must be destroyed.  But how?  And by whom?  The choice is unanimous.  The Death Merchant - Richard Camellion - is elected to plan and execute the vital mission.

One man knows where the Red Brigade is hiding her, but he's a triple agent selling information to the highest bidder.  The CIA has got to find Gondozatti first, and strike out against the Red Brigade at the same time.

Richard Camellion is the only man for the job.  The Death Merchant's orders: Find Maria Gondozatti, and settle the Red Brigade's hash once and for all - at any cost!

The most outspoken enemy of the cult is Everett Padden, a dedicated deprogrammer of misguided children and Camellion's old friend.  When Padden is brutally murdered, the Death Merchant, with the help of a young, off-duty CIA agent, infiltrates the cult.  His job: smash and destroy the dangerous, maniacal Reverend Frimm and save the children from the evil of the self-serving, self-styled savior.

But despite the wild rumors about the Bermuda Triangle, the ONI didn't take any action...until the Kingfisher, a US diesel submarine, was reported missing - 310 nautical miles south of Puerto Rico.  And then came the CIA report that the Cubans and the Russians were building a secret underwater base south of Jamaica...

That's when the ONI summoned Richard Camellion to execute the most dangerous underwater mission ever assigned to a single man.  His job is to locate and destroy the Russo-Cuban underwater complex - and then the ONI will see whether the strange disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle come to an end...

When US Senator James Franklin Wilder is burned to death; when several months later a scientist goes up in smoke, with no explanation; when a key government employee in West Germany bursts into flames, and there is no official comment; when in eight months, twelve people, all connected to high government posts spontaneously combust, the Scientific Research Division of the CIA becomes concerned.

Richard Camellion, The Death Merchant, is sent in to find out the who, what, and why of the Spontaneous Human Combustion deaths...and he begins by placing a series of advertisements in newspapers around the world - an act that sets off a resounding chain reaction with deadly international implications.

The British Military Intelligence, the Federal Intelligence Service of West Germany, and the CIA have not been able to stop the Brotherhood's insidious plotting.

By the time Camellion is called in, it's almost too late and the plot too complex.  Camellion's mission is to simply stop World War III!  The atom bomb that will trigger a confrontation between the Arabs and the Jews is already enroute to its destination.  And the Cuban assassin - programmed to kill the President of the United States - has already entered the country...

What happened to the men aboard that ship and how this incredible feat was activated was a well guarded secret...until the entire file turned up missing.

Camellion's mission is to find out if the KGB has stolen one of Big Uncle's most important secrets.  But their perfect spy - governed by mind control - is diabolically clever, and this time Camellion may have met his match.

So they call on the best undercover man around, Richard Camellion, master of disguise.

Operating as a photojournalist, the Death Merchant infiltrates Ulster's arms smuggling rackets, hangs out in Irish pubs and finds out who's been slipping what to whom.  The answers come fast and furious - it's the KGB, it's the PLO, it's even underground operations in the US.  And their agents are on to Camellion's cover.  His number's up.  It's just a matter of who gets to him first - and how he'll die.

It seems that some of the Americans were on General Patton's staff.  Did Patton know about the gold heist, and was he killed before he could blow the whistle?

Working with deep-cover CIA agents and closely in league with French terrorist groups on the trail of the gold, it's up to Camellion to double-cross the terrorists - and get the gold before they get him.  But destruction and violence bombard his every move, and the master of disguise could soon wear the mask of death.

When the CIA and the BND - West German Intelligence - attempt to lure ODESSA, the worldwide organization of ex-SS men, into the open, they use the Death Merchant as a decoy.

Richard Camellion is placed in charge of the "Cologne Historical Society" expedition that will probe the depths of the deadly lake with modern underwater devices.  Camellion knows ODESSA will sink to any level to protect the Nazi secrets buried in the mud.  Will Camellion be able to swim out alive or end up as just another dead duck?

With the Russians a hairsbreadth away from universal domination, even Camellion, the most efficient crime demolisher of all time, has to think twice.  Can he infiltrate and destroy a scientific stronghold of professionals who are determined to let absolutely nothing stop them from taking over the world?

Only the Russians could have implemented such a terrifying strategy capable of destroying the entire United States - and more!  The CIA is called in, then NASA.  Finally, as the tension stretches into panic, Camellion is offered the job.

Can one man alone outwit the most far-reaching Soviet death game yet?  No one dares even think about the alternative...

The CIA has it figured out, though, and they want the Russians' pet project snuffed.  Kill Nujoma and Markevski, his KGB contact, and the scheme will collapse.  This has so far proved mysteriously impossible.

Desperate, the CIA calls in the Death Merchant.  His orders: kill two men no one has been able even to get close to.  Yet.

With lightning speed, US scientists develop a system to override the Russian frequency and gain control over Voktok-1, planning to bring the sucker down over the ocean.

The problem becomes a crisis when Voktok-1 lands in Indonesia, an island that shows every intention of keeping and using its lucky find.

The race is on.  Either the KGB nabs the satellite first, or Richard Camellion - the slickest, cruelest saboteur in the business - beats them to it.  Or the Indonesians pull a fast one, and surprise everybody...

Neither man makes it to the rendezvous.  They vanish into the hands of the KGB.  The Soviets know a good thing when they see one, and they're all set to import Davis and his instrument of terror into their own country.  And Richard Camellion - the only man who could do anything about it is out of commission...

Qahtan Al Shaabi is the muscle behind Yemen, a charismatic brute with a powerful following of fanatical Arabs.  Devil-worshippers - 35,000 of them.  No piece of cake even for the Death Merchant.

The CIA wants Shaabi out of the picture for reasons of their own.  It's the kind of job only Camellion would dare take a stab at - and even he's not sure it's such a smart idea...

Scientists call them ADM's - atomic demolition munitions.  The CIA calls them "Little A's".  Whatever they're called, everyone knows these small, easily-concealed atom bombs are the most dangerous weapons on earth.

And two have been stolen.  They're headed into the treacherous hands of Colonel Muammar Qaddafi, a crazed Muslim fanatic bent on destroying Israel and becoming King of the Arab world.  With a couple of Little A's to play with, Qaddafi won't have any trouble bringing the rest of the world to its knees.

For the sake of global survival Camellion must overturn one of the most effective power schemes of the decade - faster than he's ever worked before!

The CIA hears of the Russian expedition and sends out its own team to investigate, a team that vanishes without a trace.  It becomes frighteningly clear this is no ordinary crisis - it's time for the Death Merchant to go into action, the kind of unparalleled destruction no one is ever prepared for.

The Phoenix X-2 is scheduled to make her maiden voyage, stopping at each major urban center across the globe.  It's a perfect opportunity for sabotage - unless the Death Merchant can weave together all the clues and deliver a show stopping surprise...

Then the Palestine Resistance League steals the valuable scrolls and offers them to the highest bidder - Russia or the Vatican.  Price: $30 million.  But then the scrolls are stolen again.

This deadly game of hide and seek could undermine the entire Christian world.  Only the Death Merchant, master of cunning and disguise, can stop it.  He must penetrate the enemy dragnet and find the scrolls before the Russians do.  But now the hard part - even Camellion's not so sure he can get out of this death trap alive.

The mad Muslim strongman has sent a crack team of Libyan terrorists and East German spies to America to carry out his plan: the poisoning of the atmosphere above the east coast of the US.  If the scheme succeeds there will be twenty-five million corpses - from New York to the nation's capitol - and the world will rock as World War III breaks out.

Only Richard Camellion stands to stop Qaddafi's lust for blood - but the Death Merchant's search and destroy mission is turning into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the terrorist team.

The turmoil is an opportunity for Moscow - and a deadly challenge for the Death Merchant.  Wanting neither a Moscow stooge or a bloody dictator in power, the US assigns Richard Camellion to terminate the crazed leaders of each extremist faction.

Luck won't be enough, the Death Merchant will need all the firepower he can get - because his mission will put him in the middle of a jungle holocaust.

But the CIA needs Richard Camellion to get two key Western spies out of the Soviet-controlled Central Prison in Kabul, a hellhole of inhuman slaughter and torture.  Only the Death Merchant could attempt such a daring rescue, but even he'll have to use more than just his great cunning and deadly firepower to pull this one off.

Chances for success are extremely slim, like "trying to get the toothpaste back into the tube", as Camellion assesses the situation.  But with a little help from a handful of Romanian freedom fighters, a monastery of Jesuit priests, a top-secret aircraft, and a deadly arsenal of weapons, the master of cunning and disguise plots an extraordinary kidnapping and escape.

A specially trained group of KGB agents has managed to pull off a daring midday kidnapping of the inventor of the GA-1, Br. Burl Martin, from near his laboratory in California's famed "Silicon Valley".  Aided by a slick and ruthless motorcycle gang, Satan's Gentlemen, who "make the Hell's Angels look like Boy Scouts," the KGB plans to bring Martin to a Soviet submarine waiting off the Pacific coast.  The CIA is short on time, and even shorter on clues.

Only Richard Camellion stands to bring the scientist back alive.  But even the Death Merchant will have to use more than just his great cunning and awesome firepower to win at this deadly game of cat and mouse.

Never before has Richard Camellion encountered such brilliant defense.  No loopholes, no missing links.  The Death Merchant is slam up against terror on a scale far beyond the imagination of the average citizen, locked into a global game he knows will have only one winner...

The CIA and the KGB
want the DNA from the BND...and
they'll stop at nothing to get it.

West German scientists have just discovered a way to slow the aging process in man.  A fountain of youth for those who possess it; a cauldron of death for those who don't.

When a corrupt double agent leaks the info to both sides, the race is on.  Moscow dispatches an elite squad of expert assassins.  Washington sends Camellion, the Death Merchant.

Mercenary master of munitions, masks, and mayhem, Richard Camellion turns the autobahn into a battleground; gives both the Germans and the Russians a lesson in blitzkrieg on his way to capturing The Methuselah Factor.

The US Secret Service is anxious to liquidate the assassin's academy before its graduates are unleashed upon an unsuspecting free world.  They dispatch Richard Camellion, American ambassador of annihilation, the Death Merchant.

In a race against the clock, the Death Merchant must dig deep into his bag of deadly tricks to abort the burgeoning evil and destroy the Bulgarian hydra...permanently.

It's a cross-country dance of ambush and attack.  The Reds have a head start and Camellion has no time to spare.  He's a whirling dervish of destruction as he leads a top-notch kill team on a crusade to crack the KGB's cover.  This time he'll use every gruesome tool of his trade to exile the Reds - from the USA to the Land of the Dead! 

The Russian Spetnaz - even the CIA feared them.  The Spetnaz were nothing less than special assassin-commandoes trained in terror; marauders skilled in sabotage.

Now US Intelligence has discovered a seething Spetnaz base secreted in the rugged mountains of occupied Afghanistan.  Poised to ravage unsuspecting Pakistan, only thirty miles to the south, the Spetnaz will spearhead a brutal Russian drive to isolate the crucial oil fields of Saudi Arabia, and bring the oil-dependant West to its knees!

Only a miracle can strangle the impending invasion - or a master of mayhem named Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant.  He must rouse the troubled Pathan tribe of Pakistan to dare the impossible: a furtive thrust through the death-drenched Afghan frontier to surprise the Soviets and raze the savage Spetnaz base to the ground!

Veliki - a Russian missile base.  Loosely translated its name means friendship.  To America it could mean World War III.

Now an amazing energy converter is being studied by top American scientists.  Its origin and composition, a mystery.  Its power for destruction, awesome.  Underlying its dread presence in the world is a prediction of nuclear holocaust that dates back to the ancient, lost city of Atlantis.  The Russians will stop at nothing to get their hands on it.

But America's got another weapon of destruction that gives it a cold, hard, deadly edge: Richard Camellion, the Death Merchant.  He will lead an assassination squad on a blood-soaked mission into frozen Antarctica that will leave America's enemies wishing they had never been born - or lived long enough to face the Death Merchant!

Determined to put a stop to the plan, the CIA has established a base in Peru.  But Richard Camellion isn't satisfied with that.  For behind the cocaine, backed by the whole might of the KGB, stands a man whose name is whispered in fear, a shadowy legend.  And the chance to seek out and destroy his archenemy El Cobra is more than a challenge.  For the Death Merchant it's a sacred mission...

But the CIA has a one-man antidote: Richard Camellion.  Determined to stop his old nemesis, he will lead an international killing team on a break-neck, blood-soaked chase across Western Europe to deliver his own cure for commie terror: sudden, violent death!

Enter Richard Camellion.  Posing as a harmless tourist, he leads a team of special agents on a blood-soaked manhunt from the back alleys of Delhi to the Holy Temples of Kashmir...toward an explosive showdown that will leave Uncle Sam's most powerful enemies without a hope or prayer.

Now the CIA has its own avenging angel.  His name: Richard Camellion. 

Only the Death Merchant could lead a strike force of Israeli paracommandos from a daring kidnapping in Damascus to a stunning air assault in Tunisia - and lead his enemies into the hellfires of Judgment Day!

Richard Camellion has prepared a surprise reception for the unwelcome visitors.  Now, in the Arctic wilderness, the Death Merchant and a cutthroat band of mercenaries are poised for an explosive showdown that will convince the advancing commies that Hell itself has frozen over!

In desperation, the CIA sends their top agent to locate the secret island fortress.  But as Richard Camellion closes in on his target, a highly placed double agent prepares to betray him.  For the Agency has decided that success must be bought at any price - even if it costs them the Death Merchant!
