Thunderball Ian Fleming

James Bond is in disgrace. His medical report is critical of the high living that is ruining his health, so M packs him off for a fortnight to a health farm to be tuned up to his former pitch of exceptional fitness. Bond expects a trying two weeks. The last thing he expects is an adversary more deadly, more ruthless even than SMERSH.

Sent to the Bahamas in search of two stolen nuclear missiles, Bond still manages to hit the casino tables and act the playboy, working to get close to the sultry Domino, the mistress of treasure hunter Emilio Largo.

Thunderball is an incredible adventure that finds Agent 007 tackling SPECTRE, a daring crime ring operating in the Gulf Stream, which has perpetrated the most arrogant blackmail demand ever attempted.
