Another hard-hitting Helm adventure

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

This entry in the long-running series of novels first finds our hero in Chicago, where he has to decide what to do when someone he has become very close to is kidnapped and threatened with death unless he carries out an assassination for a revolutionary group. Afterwards - and linked to that event - Helm is sent to a fictional Central American country where he has to undertake an unusually tricky mission, even by his standards. As usual with these books, the exotic location is well depicted. The large number of very diverse characters are brought to life vividly, and their motivations (for whatever cause or belief) never fail to convince. Typically, loyalties are often not what they initially seem, and in the case of some characters shift back and forth as the story progresses. The satisfying conclusion takes place back in the city where the whole chain of events began, Chicago.

A cut (with a belt knife) better than the others

The plotting was quite intricate, even for a Helm novel. It is like two novels, one takes place in Chicago and the other in Central America. They do all nicely tie up, as you know they will, and there are entertaining asides regarding the Indian civilizations. And all of Helm's talents are on display, including new found diplomatic skullduggery. Mac terms it "Machiavellian." Who knew Helm had it in him?

The End of the World

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2016

This Matt Helm novel has the end of the world as a plot device. Remember the Y2K Bug? The “end of the Mayan calendar” on 21 December 2012? Doctor Frances Dillman from the University of Chicago translated an ancient Melmec prediction that the world would end sometime between the years 1980 and 2030 – and hostile forces want to find and make use of that Melmec doomsday weapon hidden somewhere in the jungles of Costa Verde. Matt Helm, ordinary doomsday weapon, is blackmailed: his current girlfriend will be murdered if he doesn't kill the current president of Costa Verde. Mac sends Matt to Costa Verde to silence another doomsday professional named Bultman. An ally turns enemy. Enemies are allies. Harmless tourists turn warrior. Liberators and con men and mercenaries and ancient religion – all deadly.
Donald Hamilton used real-world elements in his Matt Helm novels, giving them a realistic depth. Told from a First Person POV, the reader is taken into Agent Eric's deadly world. “The Annihilators” is 441 fast-paced pages that takes the reader from wintery Chicago to the tropical (and fictional) Costa Verde. I was fortunate enough to read this novel when it was first published in 1983. The story is as fresh now as it was back then.

One of his best for adventure, charm and insight

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2016

Hamilton's Matt Helm character is a true tough guy. The dialogue is excellent, tough and funny. In the book, the Matt Helm character is much tougher and stronger than the one that Dean Martin played in the films. He is a dedicated government agent who knows what his job is, what part he plays in the war against his country's enemies. He is highly practical and a realist. He does not gloss it over, what is job is, killing people.

He is also very funny. And like a number of his other novels in this one there are attractive women who are trying to seduce him or who he is trying to seduce. I find his insight into the relationships between adult, married and unmarried heterosexual couples is remarkably good.

A Kind of an Off Note

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

Most of the first 20 or so Matt Helm books rate four-stars as far as I'm concerned, and the few that don't rate 3 1/2. This is the first real indication of the terminal rot that increasing affects the remaining books in the series. It's a shame too, as there's actually a pretty good story underlying The Annihilators. Sections of it, though, are so over the top or require such a suspension of disbelief that the decent parts of the story are simply overwhelmed. It seems fairly apparent that Donald Hamilton thought that the Matt Helm series was getting stale and that he needed to change things up. It just doesn't work. I won't give any spoilers here, except to say that Frances Dillman is almost certainly the most annoying love interest in all of the 27 books. Where's that stray bullet when you really need it?
