No wonder Thrush was so difficult to destroy. It was necessary first to locate and simultaneously capture three mobile Ultimate Computers, then to locate and attack Thrush Island. (There is a SPECTRE Island in one James Bond film and a Thrush Island in this one UNCLE novel.) Even then, national THRUSH leaders will try to re-internationalize the organization. This makes sense of Return Of The Man From UNCLE.
The biographical details of the main characters as given in this novel differ from the details as given in the recent prequel film. (See here.) In the novel, Solo was still in school in 1949, not leaving the US Army and joining CIA in 1945, and Kuryakin came from the Russian navy, not from KGB.
