Nobody could foresee that the abduction of an old man in New Jersey will be the prelude to a drama played out on the world’s stage. Or that it is the first step in a plot so ingenious and skilful that the stability of nations will rock wildly to its adroit tune. Or that around the world a name now indelibly associated with the horror of genocide – Babi Yar – will once again be headline news. Or that soon an unlikely alliance will take place between the KGB, the Israeli Mossad, and the French and British Secret Intelligence Services. And all because of an organisation, hitherto unknown, the Scales of Justice.
For James Bond it means a twist that no-one could have invented in their wildest dreams before the era of glasnost and perestroika. For this new assignment Bond will not simply work with his former arch-enemy, the KGB, he will be operating under their control! When he hears that he’s being transferred to Moscow, he can hear warning bells a mile off.
Find James Bond as ready and able as ever in the battle for good against evil, however chilling the new realities of the 1990s. It’s his most lethal mission yet.
The Cold War is over. After two British agents die under mysterious and strangely old-fashioned circumstances in Germany, Bond is paired up with beautiful CIA agent ‘Easy’ St. John. He’s been assigned to track down the surviving members of Cabal, a Cold War-era intelligence network that received a mysterious and unauthorised signal to disband.
It’s not long before Bond and Easy find themselves playing a life-or-death game as they try to figure out who they can trust. All the while, Cabal agents are dying one by one…
In different corners of the world four high-profile figures are assassinated in less than a week. Nobody links the deaths, but one thing is certain: each of them has been stalked, sought out, and killed with care and preparation. Then a sinister connection is established: a single, blood-tipped rose is sent to each funeral and an unremarkable female agent is murdered in Switzerland. When MI5 come to MI6 to ask for help, M brings in his best.
At first, a weekend abroad seems tempting to James Bond: especially when he’s paired with Flicka von Grusse, an attractive Swiss intelligence officer. But this is a perilous assignment that starts with the mysterious actor David Dragonpol and leads them from Athens to Disneyland Paris and onto an explosive climax.
James Bond is back in action, with the stunning Flicka von Grüsse at his side and his license to kill renewed once more. His target is Sir Maxwell Tarn: a businessman whose legitimate empire spans the globe, whose wealth is uncountable, who also deals in illegal weapons on a breathtaking scale.
But even Bond is unprepared for the speed of events, as a sting operation in a Cambridge hotel leads rapidly to an assassination in Spain, a fugitive in Israel, and neo-Nazi plotters in Germany. Bond finally catches up with Tarn in Puerto Rico, where his prey becomes his captor. Can he escape in time to stop Tarn?
The enemies are more bloodthirsty and the action faster than ever before.
She is beautiful. She is Russian. And she is very, very dangerous. Once Xenia worked for the KGB. But her new master is Janus, a powerful and ambitious Russian leader who no longer cares about ideology. Janus’s ambitions are money and power: his normal business methods include theft and murder. And he has just acquired GoldenEye, a piece of high-tech space technology with the power to destroy or corrupt the West’s financial markets. But Janus has underestimated his most determined enemy: James Bond.
James Bond is on a mission that will become an obsession.
It all starts the night Flight 229 is torn apart at Washington Airport, killing 435 passengers. On it is the Principessa Sukie Tempesta: once Bond’s lover, still his friend.
Who is behind the violence? And what is their motive? The search for Sukie’s killers turns out to be the most complex and demanding assignment of Bond’s career.
With a new introduction from Raymond Benson.
In ten days, Hong Kong will pass into the hands of the Chinese – and 007 is on his way there to undertake his most dangerous and thrilling mission yet.
In the Australian desert, a nuclear bomb explodes. There are no survivors and no clues about who has made it or detonated it. In England, two police officers are shot dead when they apprehend a cargo vessel in Portsmouth dock. Vast quantities of heroin are later found on board. And in Hong Kong, an explosion rips through one of the colony’s famous floating restaurants, killing the entire Board of Directors of EurAsia Enterprises Ltd, a multi-billion dollar shipping corporation.
The People’s Republic of China is about to resume control after a century and a half of British rule – and the colony is a powder keg waiting to explode. The tension reaches breaking point when a solicitor from one of Britain’s most prestigious law firms is killed in a car bomb at Government House.
These apparently random events are connected – and Bond must find out how and why. From the heady casinos of Macau to the seedy strip clubs of Kowloon, 007’s investigations bring him into conflict with ruthless Triad gangs, a power-hungry Chinese general – and a beautiful night club hostess called Sunni Pei.
All inquiries seem to lead to EurAsia Enterprises Ltd – and its assassinated owner. James Bond is about to come up against one of the most formidable adversaries of his career.
Someone is poisoning British soldiers in Cyprus; the same killer has murdered a British intelligence agent in Athens. James Bond himself barely escapes with his life…
But the secrets behind these and other deaths first start to come to light in Texas, where Bond goes in search of the assassin of M’s friend and lover. Fearful of an international scandal that could engulf both his service and his country, he learns instead of the existence of the Decada.
Held together by an archaic philosophy and their own bizarre rituals, the Decada’s fanatics have stockpiled a terrifying range of poisons and are willing to use them to further their ambitions for power and revenge.
Aided by beautiful, brave Greek Intelligence agent Niki Mirakos, Bond puts himself into the firing line for a last-ditch attempt to stop the Decada before they unleash a horrifying weapon on their helpless prey.
A microdot containing the most important military secret of the century has been stolen. A lethal crime syndicate known as the Union has claimed responsibility. But when the Union’s airborne courier crashes on Kangchenjunga, one of the world’s highest and most treacherous mountains, 007 and an expert team of international climbers begin the perilous ascent of the Himalayan peak to retrieve it. With a sniper in their midst… with the brutal forces of nature against them… James Bond and his men begin a dizzying, cliff-hanging journey along the icy slopes of a frozen hell…
An intricately organised criminal organisation has vowed revenge on the man who thwarted their last coup: James Bond, 007. Their method is ingenious – to force 007 into believing he’s going mad.
The only way Bond can regain his sanity is to embark on a personal mission that takes him from the seedy underbelly of London’s Soho to the souks of Tangier; from a terrorist training camp in Morocco to the clutches of a fatal Spanish beauty with links to an international assassination plot. Each step brings Bond closer to a final, sinister face-to-face confrontation… with himself.
