Inside lurks certain doom at the hands of 007’s bitterest foe-or a final chance to exact ultimate vengeance. But through rigorous ninja training, and with some help from the beautiful and able Kissy Suzuki, Bond manages to gain access to Shatterhand’s lair. Shatterhand is not who he seems, however, and his impregnable fortress-known to the locals as the “Castle of Death”-is a gauntlet of traps no gaijin has ever penetrated. Bond’s contact there is the formidable Japanese spymaster Tiger Tanaka, who agrees to do business with the West if Bond will assassinate one of his enemies: a mysterious Swiss botanist named Dr. At his wit’s end, M decides that the only way to snap his best agent out of his torpor is to send him on an impossible diplomatic mission to Japan. You Only Live TwiceThe tragic end to James Bond’s last mission-courtesy of Ernst Stavro Blofeld-has left 007 a broken man and of little use to the British Secret Service. Now Bond must save the world once again-and survive Blofeld’s last, very personal, act of vengeance. Bond’s not ready to settle down-yet-but he soon finds himself falling for the enigmatic Tracy.Īfter finally tracking the SPECTRE chief to a stronghold in the Swiss Alps, Bond uncovers the details of Blofeld’s latest plot: a biological warfare scheme more audacious than anything the fiend has tried before. She’s the daughter of a powerful crime boss, and he thinks Bond’s hand in marriage may be the solution to all her problems. The only thing that can rekindle his passion is Contessa Teresa “Tracy” di Vicenzo, a troubled young woman who shares his taste for fast cars and danger. On Her Majesty’s Secret ServiceIn the aftermath of Operation Thunderball, Ernst Stavro Blofeld’s trail has gone cold-and so has 007’s love for his job. Thunderball marks the beginnings of one of the most iconic villains in history, and the only match for the wits of James Bond.

But as powerful as Number 1 is, he works for someone else: Ernst Stavro Blofeld, a peculiar man with a deadly creative mind.

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. When SPECTRE hijacks two A-bombs, a frantic global search for the weapons ensues, 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. But amid the bland teas, tasteless yogurts, and the spine stretcher the guests lovingly call “The Rack,” Bond stumbles onto the trail of a lethal man with ties to a new secret organization called SPECTRE. ThunderballUpon M’s insistence, James Bond takes a two-week respite in a secluded natural health spa.
