When Max Smart, that intrepid secret agent for Control, gets assigned to the Computer Caper, it's the start of a laugh-out-loud adventure through a confusing labyrinth of international spies, UN delegates, Greenwich Village coffee house denizens, and a couple of beautiful girls who don't do much to help him but do liven up the nutty goings-on.

How Max foils the diabolical plot against the Free World makes a zany tale that no self-respecting spy lover can afford to miss.

When the diabolical Dr. X invents a serum capable of making man invisible and threatens to sell it to KAOS, the fate of the whole world hangs in the balance.

Only one man can jump into the breach against the Forces of Evil — Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 from Control. Max's assignment: to apprehend Dr. X, get the serum and formula, and, most important, bring back alive the six invisible guinea pigs, proof that the serum works.

Since Dr. X is sailing for Europe on his deadly mission, Max, Agent 99 and the fearless Fang, the spy dog, board the "Queen Edward" (her father wanted a boy). Thus begin the death-defying adventures of our super-spy, as Max, in the guise of a space scientist, turns the ship fore over aft in his search for Dr. X.

Does Max succeed in his quest? Does the whole civilized world triumph? Would you believe it?

Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 for Control, has often been confronted by the Forces of Evil. But never before has he been involved in such a vast panorama of intrigue, with the fate of the Free World hanging on his every move.

In Max's possession is the coded KAOS Dooms Day Plan, the only copy in existence, and it is up to him to break the code, decipher the Plan, and save the world from destruction. And this terrifying task must be done on the run, for I.M. Norman, KAOS's master spy, is in pursuit, intent of retrieving the Plan so it can be carried out!

With Peaches Twelvetrees, the beautiful blonde cryptographer, to aid him, Max sets forth for New York, Moscow and Peking, desperately trying to find the key to the brilliantly intricate code while eluding the nefarious Norman, whose India rubber face allows him to change his appearance at will.

Will Max at last be foiled by the evil schemers? Will KAOS snatch back the Dooms Day Plan before its dread secret is revealed? Or will Max, once again, outSmart his enemies and save humanity? The Free World awaits the answer.

As Agent 86 for Control, Max Smart has often matched wits with the evil operatives of KAOS, while the fate of the whole free world hung in the balance. But now, assigned to Operation Button, Button, Who'll Punch the Button, he's faced with another terrifying challenge, for this time it's the fate of Control that hangs in the balance — and that means Max's job is endangered!

Through a spectacular stroke of good luck, Control has in its possession KAOS's Little Black Book, with complete details of the location, layout and operational structure of every one of KAOS's installations. Control also has a powerful explosive, so tiny that it can be concealed in any target area and detonated from afar. Thus it is in Control's power to destroy KAOS completely.

But through a spectacular stroke of bad luck, KAOS has in its possession Control's Little Black Book, filled with its top-secret locations, and KAOS has also developed a similarly powerful explosive.

The race is on — who is going to infiltrate the opposing installations and push the button first? Will it be shrewd, clever Max Smart, or will it be the sly and sneaky KAOS men? And what will be the dire consequences — for with Max Smart in on the action, you just know the consequences will be very dire indeed!

Now, Max is back. In MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH!. Max and 99 face stampeding elephants, quicksand, a cannibal tribe, steaming jungles, and worst of all the wily Whitestone, a magician-illusionist turned KAOS agent.

Can Max get to Dr. Livingstrom before the Forces of Evil?

Can he capture his formidable foe, Whitestone?

Or does he MISS IT BY THAT MUCH?

The other five big hits in the GET SMART series — each one a mirthquake of humour and wild adventure, staring super-duper super-spy Maxwell Smart and the good-and-bad guys of Control and Kaos. As Maxwell would say, they may be hard to believe, but they're impossible to put down.

AND LOVING IT! is Max's latest — and perhaps greatest — case. Just imagine Max and 99 battling the paralyzing, petrifying powers of Guro Optimo, a mind-manipulating, Indian hypnotist and his merciless master, Lucky Bucky Buckley!

To save the world from falling under Optimo's sinister spell, Max and 99 team up with — of all people — a Kaos agent named V.T. Brattleboro. Unbelievable things happen to the Control-Kaos combo inside Buckley's evil medieval castle. They are menaced by brain-washed guards, giant crocodiles, and a monstrous avalanche of peanut brittle!

But can Max really trust Brattleboro? Or Brattleboro trust Max? And can 99 trust either one — especially Max?

The Chief of Control is sure that this time Max is in over his head. But he needn't worry, for Max doesn't have a fearful bone in his body or his head. As always, he's ill-prepared for danger of any kind — AND LOVING IT!

JOIN THE SMART SET!

It's easy. All you have to do is read the other six titles in the famous GET SMART series and you're a member in good standing.

Number Seven — THE SPY WHO WENT OUT TO THE COLD — takes Max off on a whirlwind, world-wide tour that has to go down as the wackiest travelogue in history.

Assigned to escort the great Professor Wormser von BOOM to a secret laboratory at the North Pole, Max and his beauteous sidekick, 99, take the scenic route. There's never been a polar expedition like this before as Control's beloved birdbrain races to elude his pitiless KAOS pursuers. To keep science wizard von BOOM from the cruel clutches of the enemy, Max puts his incredible "crow-disguised-as-a-wild-goose" plan into operation.

The results, which confuse no one except Max, would turn a travel agent's hair gray. Would you believe a camel caravan across the Sahara? A hitch by houseboat up the Nile? A jaunt by jet to Russia? A sortie by sub to Alaska? And a daring drive by dogsled into the Arctic wilderness?

But that's only part of the action in this zany, zigzag saga that rocks and rolls across every continent on — and off — the map. As THE SPY WHO WENT OUT TO THE COLD, Max is at his empty-headed best. It's a super cool caper that will keep you chuckling and shivering to the very end.

This is really Max's most Smart-alecky caper, and that's saying a lot. Just imagine, if you can, Max trying to outthink Number One, the world's most intelligent computer, which has been kidnapped by KAOS and brainwashed to do its evil deeds. It's an incredible, unforgettable duel between the slowest brain in the world (Max's) and the marvelous mental mechanism of nimble-minded Number One. The results, as expected, are amazing, amusing and mostly confusing.

Beautiful Agent 99 and Hymie the Robot join Max in the dangerous assignment to recapture Number One from his two kooky KAOS captors, Wayne Ways and Melvin Means. The action is fast and furiously funny as 86 fumble-fingers his way in and out of Maximum trouble. In one explosive scene he actually causes a wristwatch storm! And only Max could enter a candy factory and leave it as a giant Fudgy-Nut bar, completely wrapped and packaged. To top it off, there is Max's agonizing ordeal at Las Vegas when he goes on a gambling spree and can't stop.

It's all part of a hard-to-believe series of madcap misadventures that sets a new high in hair-raising hilarity. For when Max Smart loses Control, what else can you expect but KAOS?

     Assigned to tail KAOS's top U.S. assassins to a secret seminar, Max and wife 99 board a train and start searching for the KAOS killer contingent. They are checking out passengers when lunch is announced. One by one all the passengers file into the dining car...and disappear! Rather than ignore the "drop-out" situation, Max and 99 report the curious incident to the conductor, who conducts them, at gunpoint, to the engineer — KAOS's fast-acting, antiseptic assassin, Arbuthnot. The train speeds to Arbuthnot's devilish destination — a ghost town with a small but determined population: one ectoplasmic prospector and his immortal mule. Max manages to win the western wraith to the side of good. But can Max and his supernatural sidekicks stop Arbuthnot? And will Max ever find his Coolidge-head penny phone in time to summon Chief and Control's counter-attacking counter forces. As usual, Max's blundering booboos and mindless maneuvers menace friend instead of foe!
     Which all adds up to a ghastly ghost affair that's really out-of-this-world entertainment.
