section7mfu | "The Pelorus Affair" by mlaw for WRITER'S CHOICE! (Reply)

I wrote this story back in 2012 for our friend

laurose8 who asked me to do a Man from UNCLE story that takes place in her part of the world as none have taken place down in New Zealand. It's a nice long weekend read!

I had a major adventure myself researching for this story (and there's lots of it) and I became enamored of the Maori culture because of it, as well as NZ.

It's on my bucket list to visit there!

Thanks to Laurose and

rosywonder for their help and advice in writing this MFU adventure!

Summary: Thrush is building nuclear bombs; Napoleon, an Army CID officer and Illya are on the trail of missing enriched uranium stolen from a facility in Virginia, but their assignment takes them in very different directions. A bit of het in chapter 3.

"Kia hora te marina, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana,

Kia tere Karaohirohi te i mua i tou huarahi_ May calm be spread

around you, may the sea glisten like greenstone and

the shimmer of summer dance across your path."~ Māori blessing.
