THE STARS GIVE WARNING

Feminine-fashioned, and good entertainment value in this blend of romance and espionage, with a setting of Panama and the U.S. Navy. Puss-in-the-corner matrimonial entanglements, with Lisa and Nick Brandon, Andy (also of the U.S. Navy), and a fifth columnist posing as a German refugee, as the foursome involved. Slick writing, good plotting, and a convincing handling of background, make this a definitely above average tale. Rentals primarily, but should cut a wide swathe in the ranks of those who want better books, even in their rental libraries.
