The Cold, Cold War of Paul Bryan

Mon, Sep 13, 196560 mins

Paul Bryan, an attorney speeding down the fast track, staggers from his physician's office after finding that he's got 1, at most 2 years to live. Telling no one of his diagnosis, he sets out to pack all he missed as workaholic and Air Force pilot, into his remaining time. First up is a ski trip at a remote, Alpine luxury spa packed with jet-setters. One guest is an arrogant son of a dictator, who assassinated a human rights champion, a law professor of Paul's. Paul spurned an offer to run for California Attorney General after getting his own death sentence. A suspicious avalanche severs the spa's ties with the outside world, causing the paranoid General Portaz and his bodyguards to quickly intimidate almost everyone, except a care-free, whip-tongued billionaire with a much-younger husband. Life-long bachelor Paul, and the macho General also vie over a beautiful young U.S. citizen. Which kills General Portaz first: Paul, an assassin, or severely hampered room service ?

The CIA violates Paul's civil rights and finds that Paul has a year or 2 to live. That enables the CIA to pressure Paul, a Korean War top gun, to help the U.S. determine if her spouse Biff Henderson is alive. Thus MI5 can rule out Biff's defecting or being kidnapped. Mrs. Henderson's desperate ploy to enter Soviet satellite Czechoslovakia, alerted the CIA to spy her. Paul spurned an offer to run for Attorney General to expand his soul before he dies, and he's supposed to stay in touch with his physician, in case a cure is found for his illness. Does the bachelor with no living relatives resume his Black Death tour of Europe, and will Paul's concern for the gorgeous, suicidal widow trump his patriotism?
