War of Nerves

Attar the Merman #2

by Robert Graham, Joe Haldeman

Nerves of steel vs. nerve gas

The villain Rasputin was blackmailing the U.S. Government, threatening to detonate forty drums of deadly nerve gas in the Caribbean. If he succeeded it would mean the total destruction of every living thing in the area.

Attar felt powerless to stop jo,, for Rasputin wore a deadman switch-if his heart stopped beating, the bomb would go off!

I honestly thought I was onto something special here. But then the silliness about the "split personality non-pacifistic sarcastic orca Grampus" stops and with every page the whole thing grows more and more dull to a point when it's almost unreadable. I can see why the series ran for only two entries and I'm not really interested in finding the first one.
