THE NEW AVENGERS OFFICIAL NOVELISATIONS

Fighting Men by Justin Cartwright

Published by Futura Publications in 1977, this was the fourth New Avengers paperback.  It was also published in the USA by our good friends at Berkeley Medallion.  The story is based on the screenplay for the TV episode, Fighting Men, which was written by Brian Clemens.  There was also a hardcover edition of this published in the UK.

From the back cover of the UK edition:
FIGHTING MEN
19th Special Commando contained some of the dregs of the Army, men with records of violence and crime.  They had been trained to be a killing elite, but they had been picked for a more sinister purpose that was masked by the comfortable respectability of the British Army.  One man discovered what their role really was and he died...

THE NEW AVENGERS
John Steed, Mike Gambit and the beautiful, lethal ex-dancer, Purdey, had only so much time in which to find out what was going on and to stop it before they, too, became execution targets.

FIGHTING MEN
The fourth in a series of novels based on the TV series, THE NEW AVENGERS, starring Patrick Macnee, Joanna Lumley and Gareth Hunt.

UK: 60p.
