So that I do not lose more recent reviews I'm going to repost some Cinebook reviews -it's not your memory going!

Fleeing the devastation of World War III, Blake, Mortimer and Nasir have been trying to reach a secret base with the blueprints for a new weapon, the Swordfish. But the forces of the Yellow Empire are hot on their trail, and soon Mortimer is captured. While Blake works tirelessly at coordinating the various resistance movements on the planet, the professor is forced to endure captivity, threats and torture from their eternal enemy, Olrik.
You know I might write that some of these B&M stories are right out of Dr Palfrey and Z5 or even Department Z run by Craigie.  However, that might be too obscure (just look up John Creasey, creator of The Baron, Gideon of The Yard, The Toff and many more).
WW III and the Yellow Empire. This is just too good to pass over and not a super hero in sight. Cinebook have been treating us to real gems….isn’t it about time we treated them…uh, buy…uh…buying some of these great books?
Subtle.
