Subject: Okay storyline, excellent reader
I am a fan of Murray Leinster, so this story was a bit of a disappointment.
The hero seems to narrowly escape death through far-fetched situations, and given the number of cities under the control of the antagonist, well, it seems also far-fetched that it would be so easy to stop the bad guy.
It was an okay story, so I would still recommend it, but be prepared to suspend reality and just go along for the ride.
I like RK's reading style, so I look for his books.
5 stars for the reader, but 3 for the book. Averaging it to 4.

The leaders in Latin America are being poisoned with some deadly Amazonian nastiness that causes the victim's hands to writhe, and then causes the victim to become a homicidal maniac. A mysterious madmen known as The Master is responsible. Can a lone lowly employee of the US State Department stop the MURDER MADNESS?
Pulp writing so often dashes the hopes raised by the outrageous covers of the magazines through 5 cents a word verbosity and cliches and coincidences. This one, on the other hand, is a good story, told at a breathless pace that makes the compilation of improbabilities very easy to take. (Only one coincidence really galls.) The story also generates a nice sense of paranoia -- our hero literally cannot trust anyone safely -- that keeps the suspense level high.
I found this one good for my 45 minute commutes. It features a somewhat bland reader -- but the blandness works well for this story, when another reader would have been tempted to take it well over the top.
