Synopsis

"Deceased - line of Duty", U.N.C.L.E.'s dossier on Joseph King said their former Lab Chief had been killed during a field test of his Particle Accelerator Rifle, a very deadly new weapon that backfired on him. There was no doubt about his death of its circumstances. But could he somehow have escaped from the explosion and defected THRUSH, taking the secrets of that weapon with him? Could he now be fighting treacherously for a position of power in THRUSH, using the P.A.R. against his rivals? The head of THRUSH's San Francisco satrap claimed that was true, and he had voluntarily walked into U.N.C.L.E. Headquarters to ask for help against King. Obviously U.N.C.L.E. had to act - but Napoleon and Illya knew they would be facing sudden death from all sides.
