In the aftermath of Operation Thunderball, Ernst Stavro Blofeld´s trail has gone cold―and so has 007´s love for his job. 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. She´s the daughter of a powerful Corsican crime boss who thinks Bond´s hand in marriage may be just the thing to settle his volatile daughter. But Bond´s chances at marital bliss are interrupted by a call from MI6--they finally have a lead on Blofeld.
After 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. It´s up to Bond to save the world once again―and survive Blofeld´s last, very personal, act of vengeance.
