Casino Royale

About this book

This title introduces James Bond: charming sophisticated handsome; chillingly ruthless and very deadly. Spymaster M has sent Bond on a mission to neutralize a lethal high-rolling Russian operative called simply Le Chiffre - by ruining him at the baccarat table and forcing his Soviet spymasters to retire him. It seems that lady luck is taken with James - Le Chiffre has hit a losing streak. But some people just refuse to play by the rules and Bonds attraction to a beautiful female agent leads him to disaster and an unexpected saviour.
