Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A spy reveals startling secrets and carries out a breathless mission in an astonishing guide that takes the 'Ologies to a new level.
The year is 1958, and British spy Spencer Blake, aka "Agent K," is on an undercover mission to expose a deadly criminal organization. As he traverses the globe with his American and Soviet cohorts -- from Scotland to Berlin to Las Vegas to Cuba -- he furtively records his secret techniques in a manual for new recruits.
Once they've primed themselves on the essentials of spy craft, keen-eyed readers will discover that Agent K has been setting them challenges and clues to decipher all along. If they are clever enough to unravel them all, a great reward awaits!
Illustrations by Ian Andrew, Anne Yvonne Gilbert, Tomislav Tomic, and Helen Ward.
