Why this must be read:
Napoleon shifted forward onto one knee, suppressing a wince as pain lanced down his leg. "It'll do. Damn shame about my cane, though."
"I'll get you another one." Illya clenched his hands in frustration. "We should have checked with the local office before we left."
"And told them what?" Napoleon responded with some asperity. "That the head of Policy and Operations was spiriting off the head of Communications and Security and oh, by the way, could they check and see if there are any newly hatched THRUSH agents in rural Connecticut who may recognize them on sight, drug their coffee and throw them into a barn?"
Good things come to those who save the world, says the summary, and there are definitely good things afoot for Napoleon and Illya. As usual, however, THRUSH interferes in the most heinous way possible - by drugging our heroes' coffee. Veronica's story is told with gentle humour and real affection for the characters, and I was glued from start to finish. I'm not normally a great fan of feel-good stories, but with dialogue and characterisation like this, I was powerless to resist. Read and enjoy - I certainly did!
