Bond returns with a vengeance in this electrifying new chapter celebrating Ian Fleming's legacy. An Algerian drug runner is brutally executed on the outskirts of Paris, prompting MI6 to recall Agent 007 from his sabbatical in Rome. The head of MI6, M, assigns Bond to shadow the enigmatic Dr. Julius Gorner, a power-hungry pharmaceutical magnate with a troubling interest in opiate derivatives, both legal and illegal. To navigate this dangerous mission, Bond teams up with the glamorous Parisian Scarlett Papava. Together, they confront a life-and-death struggle against a formidable adversary, as a series of events threaten global catastrophe. A British airliner disappears over Iraq, and the specter of war looms in the Middle East, while a flood of lethal narcotics threatens to engulf Britain amid the social upheavals of the late sixties. Picking up where Fleming left off, Sebastian Faulks immerses Bond in the height of the Cold War, delivering a tale of relentless pace and tension. This narrative not only captures the essence of Fleming's original novels but also resonates with contemporary issues, showcasing Bond's resilience against modern dangers.
