THE ANDROPOV DECEPTION

by Brian Crozier ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 4, 1986

International bloodletting among supersecret assassins, and quite silly. After five days of sex With a curvaceous Soviet ""swallow"" (a spy with professional bedtime know-how), Chief Field Operator Bruce Lock of SO awakens in bed to find his partner dead. Poisoned!--with a newly developed tasteless but deadly KGB poison--administered accidentally? meant for him? Lock is ""an unmitigated bastard,"" a ""selective"" killer who gets a sexual thrill out of watching an enemy's head explode like a melon, who drinks too much and uses women for relief, like cocaine or marijuana. In the meantime, Lock's Ultra-Top Secret S-9 assignment (S for Special, 9 just a joke) is a lethal American-English-French-West-German group of killer agents dead set on stopping World War Three with any means called for. Right now their enemy George Henzen, member of West Germany's Parliament, is having terrifying success as a peacenik, trying to get West Germany to quite NATO, kick the Americans out, ban nuclear weapons on German soil and reunite the two halves of Germany under Soviet control. S-9's stark, no-holds-barred mission: stop George Henzen. And in the KGB, a similar message has gone forth: stop Bruce Lock. S-9 sets up a plot to discredit Henzen (who once raped his sister Heidi) by having him unmasked as an American agent. But, first, a psychopathic assassin must be seduced by brainy lawyer Gertrud Alders, nymphic sex pro, and put in place to take out Henzen. Meanwhile, Beryl Gravener--Bruce Lock's Scandinavian secretary-sexpot--is kidnapped by neo-Nazis, gang raped, and whipped repeatedly by Henzen's sister Heidi. In return, Bruce blasts the Nazis, and burns nasty Heidi alive like a monk (normally he's not all that spiritual). All this killing gives him such an unbearable erection that he beds Gertrud himself--she's given to lines like ""my vagina is on fire."" And so it goes, until Henzen is assassinated by prearranged psychopath and the psychopath himself assassinated by Bruce. Death and sex, oiling each other.
