It is the vulnerabilty of Modesty Blaise which distinguishes her as an action hero.
In TOP TRAITOR, an elaborate scheme to make Sir Gerald Tarrant appear to have sold secrets to the enemy has been hatched. Tarrant's assistant, Jack Fraser, is sure it's a set-up, but is unable to help his friend, so he turns to Modesty for help, which she is eager to provide at great personal risk.
In THE VIKINGS, Modesty comes to the aid of a former lieutenant in The Network who has fallen in with a bad crowd. Along with busting a nefarious criminal enterprise, Modesty also teaches her former charge about the value of family. Under the expert guidance of Peter O'Donnell and Jim Holdaway, Modesty is the ultimate iron fist in the velvet glove!
