James Bond is back in action, with the stunning Flicka von Grusse 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?
