Unless Nick Carter could prevent it, the holy war brewing in India would set up the turbulent East for a Red Chinese takeover. But first, Killmaster had to destroy the deadly double who matched him in every skill.

Wang-wei, a Chinese spymaster, attends a meeting with Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai where he reveals a secret weapon – an American soldier captured during the Korean War who has been held captive, surgically altered and brainwashed into believing he is Nick Carter – a US secret agent.

The double is to attempt to destabilize the ceasefire between India and Pakistan and draw the real Nick Carter into the area where he can be eliminated.
