Synopsis:

While Thunderbolt battles Shard, Andreas Havoc summons Evila's spirit to form an alliance against the hero. Things look bad for Thunderbolt, until he is able to consciously perform an act of mind over matter and wrap the razor-sharp villain in debris; up until now, these moments had been instictive. Later, as Peter Cannon, he is threatened by Sir Hubert Abercrombie, who reminds him that the British government do not like people talking about the situation in Tibet; and Crusader, a British-born hero, becomes fed up with being overshadowed by Thunderbolt. Then, whilst she is on the 'phone to Peter, Cairo's office is invaded by armoured men with big guns.
