Following the TV episode, THE GENIUS AFFAIR, from
Season 4, Illya Kuryakin is assigned to impersonate Colonel Nexor, basically
his twin, who Illya killed in the previous episode. One of U.N.C.L.E.’s agents
has been discovered in a group of Nazi collaborators, and not knowing that
Nexor is dead, they want to swap the U.N.C.L.E. agent for him. Illya takes the
assignment, but is quickly uncovered as an imposter. Now Napoleon Solo must
rescue Illya before the Nazi agents kill him. Disguising himself as a THRUSH
agent, he flies a captured THRUSH helicopter into the compound. But now the
Nazi’s have two U.N.C.L.E. agents in their midst, and it may be impossible for
Solo to escape with his Russian partner.
Although this is fan fiction, the story is as good as
anything that appeared in the MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. magazine from RENOWN. I can
see it appearing in the magazine back in the 60s, and a shame the magazine
isn’t being printed today. With the new movie now out, it would be great if a
publisher brought back a magazine like RENOWN and released new U.N.C.L.E.
stories. For U.N.C.L.E. fans, I can highly recommend this as a fun story.
