The Man with the Golden Gun (James Bond #13)

James Bond—arch-enemy of SMERSH, subjugator of the master fiends Goldfinger and Dr. No, has been brainwashed by Soviet captors into becoming the tool of Russia’s K.G.B. Secret agent 007 is deliberately setting out to perpetrate an act of treachery against the British Secret Service. Thus begins Ian Fleming’s last Bond book, The Man With the Golden Gun, which pits 007 against a most adroit and ruthless assassin. His name is Francisco Scaramanga and he is a master of destruction, a king of death. The two meet in mortal combat in Jamaica. Their terrified witness is the charming and beautiful Miss Mary Goodnight, the one woman who has successfully resisted Bond’s every attempt to woo her.—excerpts from front jacket.
