There is a small outfit of the CIA called the American Library Historical Society-Dept. 17 which is almost totaled by the machine gun in a mailman's pouch. From then on it's a nonstop hotfoot for survivor Malcolm, also known as Condor, who is wanted dead by his enemies and alive by his own people and who scarcely makes it -- with the help of a girl. A debut which is off to a good start (book club and film) although it doesn't add up to more than an extended chase.
