The five are: Get Smart! Get Smart Once Again! Sorry, Chief... Max Smart and the Perilous Pellets & Missed It By That Much! In case you haven't guessed, these books are based on the television series, "Get Smart", and follow the adventures of that intrepid(?) spy for CONTROL, Maxwell Smart, agent 86. Of course, the Chief appears, as do agent K-13 (Fang), and agent 99 (99). The spirit of the show is captured quite well in the books, with Max stumbling his way towards saving the entire free world from the Bad Guys. All in all, they make for a good, fun read. -- Geoff Loker Department of Computer Science University of Toronto Toronto, ON M5S 1A4 USENET: {ihnp4 decwrl utzoo uw-beaver}!utcsri!utai!gkloker CSNET: gkloker@toronto ARPANET: gkloker.toronto@csnet-relay
