SWIVEL MECHANISM ALLOWS THE DART’S TAIL-FIN ASSEMBLY TO STORE FLAT AND OPEN IN THE FIRST SECOND OF FLIGHT

STUN DART: Stun-dart book: A flat canister of compressed carbon dioxide gas concealed in the book’s spine propels a stun dart when the trigger (the author’s name) is pressed hard. The formula of MI6’s current rapid-action knockout chemical, RAKO-88, is a closely guarded secret. It causes unconsciousness in a matter of seconds; this lasts up to one hour and has no serious side effects, although headaches and temporary nausea have been reported.
