Survival... Zero!

First edition (publ. E.P. Dutton)

Survival... Zero! (1970) is Mickey Spillane's eleventh novel featuring private investigator Mike Hammer.

Plot Summary

We have the standard Mike Hammer tale of a dead body found which everyone ignores, leading to Mike charging through the city trying to solve it – but in the background we hear increasingly about canisters filled with deadly bio-weapons which Soviet agents have left around New York. Of course the two strands are going to entwine together, and Mike Hammer finds himself involved with a very nasty underground network conspiring to destroy the USA.
