Book Synopsis

JAMES BOND IS HOT ON THE TRAIL OF TWO STOLEN ATOM BOMBS

Upon M's insistence, James Bond takes a two-week respite in a secluded natural health spa. But amid the bland teas and tasteless yogurts, the iconic secret agent stumbles onto the trail of a lethal man with ties to a new secret organization called SPECTRE. When SPECTRE hijacks two A-bombs, a frantic global search for the weapons ensues in this high-stakes espionage novel, and M's hunch that the plane containing the bombs will make a clean drop into the ocean sends Bond to the Bahamas to investigate.

On the island paradise, 007 finds a wealthy pleasure seeker's treasure hunt and meets Domino Vitali, the gorgeous mistress of Emilio Largo, otherwise known as SPECTRE's Number 1. But as powerful as he is, Emilio works for someone else: Ernst Stavro Blofeld, a peculiar man with a deadly creative mind.
