Brigitte en Acción: El Gran Amo

# Catalog Description

"Brigitte en Acción" (Brigitte in Action), by Lou Carrigan (1983), is a spy-adventure serial featuring the protagonist Brigitte Montfort, a world-famous journalist and spy with extraordinary influence. Recently nominated for U.S. presidency, Brigitte is recruited by Herbert Nadelman, calling himself "El Gran Amo" (The Great Master), leader of the resurrected "New Galaxia"—a criminal organization descended from a previous incarnation she had destroyed. Nadelman, claiming to be one of the world's most intelligent men, enlists Brigitte for "Oilplan," a vast scheme involving Iran. He requires her to travel to Tehran and publish accounts of planned events there as he directs, exploiting her credibility with two hundred million Americans. The narrative involves her companion Número Uno and admirer Frank Minello monitoring her movements. The text references contemporary geopolitical tensions regarding American hostages held in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and the Shah of Iran.
