Nautipuss

Trevor Anderson, the irrepressible Agent 0008, is back in a wild 1960s spy spoof packed with danger, double-crosses, underwater intrigue, and the outrageous energy of the paperback pulp era. Originally published in 1965 under the Clyde Allison byline, Nautipuss sends its James Bond-style hero from Paris nightlife to the depths of the sea, where secret plots, exotic villains, and bizarre perils wait behind every hatch. It is lurid, strange, satirical, and unmistakably a product of its time.

Written by William Henley Knoles using the pseudonym Clyde Allison, one of the more prolific and colorful writers of the adult paperback boom, Nautipuss is part of the Agent 0008 series, a run of fast-moving spy parodies that pushed the conventions of Cold War espionage fiction into absurd and often outrageous territory.

This reprint presents Nautipuss as a vintage pulp artifact: a window into mid-century paperback publishing, spy mania, and the anything-goes commercial fiction racks of the 1960s. Readers interested in old paperbacks, pulp history, James Bond spoofs, sleaze-era publishing, and forgotten genre oddities will find plenty to marvel at here.

Includes newly created interior illustrations inspired by 1960s pulp-paperback design.
