THE BLAZING AFFAIR
The intrepid Girl from U.N.C.L.E. downs three machete-swinging Mau-Maus without even chipping her manicure. Escapes from a ghastly trap in a South African diamond mine looking sexier than ever. But that's April. Cool, gorgeous, and delightfully deadly.
Here she teams with U.N.C.L.E. agent Mark Slate as they travel from Budapest to Johannesburg on the trail of TORCH — a world organization dedicated to a super-race, a Fourth Reich...an organization so fantastically evil it puts THRUSH to shame!

Other Editions
France | Paperback | Presses de la Cité | 1968 | N°18
This was the only Girl from U.N.C.L.E. book to be published in France, and was released as N°18 in the Télé-Mystère range by Presses de la Cité, who also published translations of fourteen of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. novels. The U.N.C.L.E. books were all released under the overall series title Des Agents Très Spéciaux.
Spain | Paperback | Plaza & Janés | 1969 | N°53
An omnibus edition of The Global Globules Affair and The Golden Boats of Taradata Affair, translated by Eduardo Mallorquí and Isabel Ulsamer. The book was released as part of the Colección Alcotán Intriga-Espionaje range, which eventually ran to seventy-three volumes in total, published between 1966 and 1972. Three Man from U.N.C.L.E. volumes had previously been published as part of the same range, again containing two novels in each one.
Notes
- Although The Global Globules Affair was the third Girl from U.N.C.L.E novel to be published, it was the first to be released in the UK, and one of three which would be exclusively available in the country. This wasn't an unusual situation for tie-in books in the 1960s and the United States also missed out on a number of UK novels based on the likes of The Invaders and Land of the Giants.
- The Global Globules Affair was the first of two Girl from U.N.C.L.E. novels to be penned by Simon Latter. Unlike the the two other authors who contributed to the range, Latter would not get the opportunity to write a book based on the parent series.
