A group of giant European companies have formed "Council Six", a highly secret organization that is plotting to smash OPEC, the Arab oil cartel. Europe imports most of her oil and is, in short, at the mercy of the Arabs. Their plan: sabotage the Alaskan pipeline and make it look like the work of OPEC - in the hope that the US will take drastic military action against them, thereby destroying OPEC. The US knows how devastating disruption of the Alaskan oil flow would be. But even more devastating would be a war with the Arab states.
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...
