I read a book when I was in middle school that took place in Burma. It involved some Ivy League educated superspy save the world type. I can't remember his name. I only remember two of the names from the book, one was one of the 2 women he was hauling around Rangoon named Syri. The other is of the enemy leader nicknamed Iron Hand or something like that.
Plot was pretty much that Iron Hand was some expatriate American who was buying nukes and running some kind of typical bad guy operation from Burma. Main good guy hauls around some American girl and Syri -- of course he sleeps with both of them -- befriends the local Rangoon police chief (who has tuberculosis), catches malaria but is able to fight it off with his superspy, superhuman strength and then defeats Iron Hand and saves the world.
I've read it 2 or 3 times and would love to get my hands on a copy of the thing. It seems like the title was 'Beyond Rangoon' or something like that.
Help me out book experts, librarians, superspy types, or Syri. Thanks in advance.
