The Doomsday Affair

The stakes are higher in this book than in most of the TV episodes.
I was a big fan of this show as a kid and picked up a bunch of the books over time.
This one was pretty exciting and kept to the style and themes of the show pretty well.

There was one plot point where the bad guys had to get Kuryakin and Solo to call Waverly to assure them all was well or their plan would be disrupted.
And then the author forgot about it as this never happened.

In the final scenes, our heroes are rushing away from a disaster resulting from their thwarting the bad guys when they have to jump from a speeding car just before it explodes.
And that's where the book ends, just after the explosion.
No wrap up, no Solo going off with the woman, not even an explanation of how they
survived the disaster.

I had acquired two copies of this book and checked the other in case some pages were missing.
But no, that was how the book ended.
It's as if the publisher said the book could only 159 pages and just threw away any pages after that.
So, if you're a fan of the TV show, you might enjoy this.

If you only saw the recent movie, then none of the books or the TV show will make any sense
as the movie is about two characters who coincidentally have the same names as the characters in the TV show. Other than the names, the movie is completely unrelated to the TV show.
