Description: THE PLOT: David McDaniel had built a consistent background over the course of his six published U.N.C.L.E. novels. Their arch-enemy Thrush had evolved from the remnants of Professor Moriarty’s criminal gang after his death at Reichenbach Falls. During WWI, a young Alexander Waverly rescues a wounded Ward Baldwin. Baldwin later on joins Thrush.

In THE FINAL AFFAIR, we learn Napoleon Solo had been married twice before joining U.N.C.L.E. Both organizations had targeted him with potential very young in his life. Thrush sent an agent to get close to him. Joan was her name and they ended up marrying. She was supposedly killed while he was away on military service, instead returning to her life as a Thrush agent. His second wife was killed in a car accident. He reunites with Joan who defects from Thrush.

U.N.C.L.E. manages to plant a virus in Thrush’s three revolving Ultimate Computers, thus destroying most records and throwing the organization into disarray. They learn the location of Thrush Island and launch an invasion.

Things are pretty much over for Thrush after that and U.N.C.L.E. starts making changes as well. Illya Kuryakin returns to Russia and Napoleon Solo becomes the new Number 1 of Section 1.
