The life of secret agent James Bond has begun to fall into a pattern that threatens complacency... until the sunny afternoon when M is kidnapped. The action ricochets across the globe to a volcanic Greek island, where Colonel Sun Liang-tan of the People's Liberation Army of China collaborates with an ex-Nazi atrocity expert in a world-menacing conspiracy. Stripped of all professional aids, Bond faces, unarmed, the monstrous devices of Colonel Sun in a test that brings him to the verge of his physical endurance.

And the thing about this is that he imitates Fleming's style incredibly well. So, well, and I read it for the first time when I first read all the James Bond books because it was actually in the official livery of the Panther ones, the ones which have white or black covers with different girls in glamorous dresses with a big gun, you know, big golden gun. It's like, you know, this obvious phallic symbol in the macroverse.
