In this incredible adventure, James Bond finds himself tackling a daring crime ring called SPECTRE, which has perpetrated the most arrogant blackmail demand ever attempted.
This book describes five secret occasions in the life of James Bond - all of utmost importance. Russians, Cubans, drug traffickers and assassins are all just routine jobs in the life of 007.
James Bond is challenged by a maniacal superfiend: the worlds cleverest, cruelest criminal. A beautiful golden girl turns up dead, and a friendly game of two-handed canasta turns into a deadly game of survival.
M called this case a soft option. Bond can't quite agree. The tropical island is luxurious, the seductive Honey Rider is beautiful and willing, but they are both part of the empire of Dr. No . . . The doctor is a worthy adversary, with a mind as hard and cold as his solid steel hands. Dr. No's obsession is power. His only gifts are strictly pain-shaped.
Every major foreign government organization has a file on British secret agent James Bond. Now, Russia's lethal SMERSH organization has targeted him for elimination. SMERSH has the perfect bait in the irresistible Tatiana Romanova, who lures 007 to Istanbul promising the top-secret Spektor cipher machine. But when Bond walks willingly into the trap, a game of cross and double-cross ensues, with Bond both the stakes and the prize.
