TEE PLOT

by Irving Wallace ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 22, 1967

A fictional opportunist ever, Wallace's new novel begins with the attempt of one Jay Thomas Doyle to expose a conspiracy behind the Kennedy assassination and, before it's through, blueprints without a blue pencil a War or Peace summit conference in Paris. While there's nothing to be said about the characters, and the less said about the writing the better, The Plot subdivides like paramecia into lotsa plots (2) involving Earnshaw, former President of the U.S. implicated in giving the neutron bomb to China; (3) Medora Hart, the victim of a Profumo-ed scandal denied re-entry into England by a man whose unassailably aristocratic wife had once posed in the altogether; (4) Matt Brennan, an American nuclear disarmament expert determined to clear himself of an unfair red blacklisting; (5) Chinese-Russian collaboration, an inside Russia subversive coup and an assassination. Not to itemize any further trying particulars, it must be admitted that Wallace keeps his story moving without any detente and parlays his parley from Dior's salon to Le Drug Store to a number of hotel rooms where his characters without faces appear without clothes to satisfy the great sexpectations of his readers....The publishers are featuring this as Irving Wallace's longest book. It certainly is.
