He was known as "The Butcher"--a former Hitler henchman, responsible for more murders than any man alive. Depraved in mind and body, he hungered for men and women with the same insatiable appetite. Hunted as a war criminal by the Israelis, he lusted for the chance to massacre his enemies. A captured Communist document had given America the whole story. But finding "the butcher"--and stopping him--was something else. Plastic surgery made the first half of the problem impossible..the Arabs' incoherent hatred of the Jews choked off efforts at the second. The U.S. was banking on Killmaster. And it supplied N3 with the most tantalizing helpmate of his long history--the beautiful Israeli named Sabra, who had the body of a goddess and the heart of an efficient killing machine. For "the butcher," a Mid-East holocaust would be a personal victory. But for the rest of the world, it held far greater meaning. For the Chinese had already ticketed the action as the start of World War III!
