The return of 007

Agent 003, Joanna Harwood, has finally found James Bond after years of searching. All she has to do is get him out of Russia alive and convince him to trust her again.

A mission for revenge

But Bond trusts no one. And he wants revenge on Mora, the monstrous figure at the head of Rattenfanger - a terrorist organisation with links to the past.

The final showdown

MI6's Double O section is in pieces. Moneypenny is captured. Agents have switched sides. And Rattenfanger's plans for hijacking the cyber-intelligence of the West are finally about to be realised.

Bond and the remaining Double Os must work together to save the world - and figure out which of them are still loyal...
