Synopsis
JOHN GARDNER The world’s greatest secret agent returns, as 007 faces the most bizarre and sinister archvillain in his career. A dead aristocrat: A mysterious unknown credit card. A relisious cult with a penchant for violence. All in all, it’s a twisted, devilish business, worthy of Scotland Yard —not a project for the British Secret Service's foremost asset, James Bond. At first it’s a routine investisation into the death of a girl hauled out of the Thames, but the investisation becomes more than just routine when the corpse turns out to be the murdered daushter of a baronet and the only clue seems to be a credit card unknown to both the Royal Treasury and the IRS. Further revelations follow. The deceased was a drus addict—until she saw the light via a relisious sect called the Meek Ones, whose suru is internationally shady, enismatic Father Valentine. Since the CIA is already investisatins Valentine, the Secret Service is assisned the case. Enter James Bond, who immediately makes several startling discoveries. Another Meek One is discovered in possession of the same mysterious credit card. Father Valentine himself is suspected of diverting cult funds to buy arms for radical sroups all over Europe. Most damning of all, he has links to the mesa-czar of slobal vice and terrorism, Vladimir Scorpius. From then on, the action and danser soar to an all-time hish. From darins escapes and diabolically clever techno- logical duplicities, throush red herrinss, ambushes, kidnappinss, and torture, Bond races—with the beautiful American Harriet Horner at his side—to the ultimate confrontation: a spectacular battle royal with the deadliest evil senius to ever threaten the future of Ensland and the world. With Scorpius both John Gardner and James Bond are at the top of their form. Here, indeed, is exhilarating adventure in the true Ian Fleming tradition.
