Auric Goldfinger is the richest man in England – though his wealth can’t be found in banks. He’s been hoarding vast stockpiles of his namesake metal, and it has attracted the suspicion of Bond’s superiors at MI6. Sent to investigate, Bond uncovers an ingenious gold-smuggling scheme, as well as Goldfinger’s most daring caper yet: Operation Grand Slam, a heist so audacious it could bring down the world economy and put the fate of the West in the hands of SMERSH. Only 007 can stop the enigmatic millionaire and his murderous mania for gold.

Vivienne Michel, a precocious French Canadian raised in the United Kingdom, feels like a foreigner in every land. With only a supercharged Vespa and a handful of American dollars, she travels down winding roads into the pine forests of the Adirondacks. After stopping at the Dreamy Pines Motor Court and being coerced into caretaking at the vacant motel for the night, Viv opens the door to two armed mobsters and realizes being a woman alone is no easy task. But when a third stranger arrives—a confident Englishman with a keen sense for sizing things up—the tables are turned.

A collection of both classic intrigue and intrepid self-examination, For Your Eyes Only packs full, vibrant worlds into five classic tales.

Bond may have a license to kill, but “Pistols” Scaramanga has a talent for it. He’s a KGB-trained assassin who’s left a trail of dead British Secret Service agents in his wake. His weapon of choice? A gold-plated Colt .45. In the aftermath of his brainwashing by the Soviets, Bond is given one last chance to win back M’s trust: terminate Scaramanga before he strikes MI6 again.

Dispatched by M to investigate the mysterious disappearance of MI6’s Jamaica station chief, Bond was expecting a holiday in the sun. But when he discovers a deadly centipede placed in his hotel room, the vacation is over. On this island, all suspicious activity leads inexorably to Dr. Julius No, a reclusive megalomaniac with steel pincers for hands. To find out what the good doctor is hiding, 007 must enlist the aid of local fisherman Quarrel and alluring beachcomber Honeychile Rider.

In 1957, as the Cold War raged, Ian Fleming took a respite from writing James Bond to craft a work of nonfiction every bit as tense as a Bond adventure. Aided by an ex-MI5 agent and International Diamond Security Organization operative going by the alias “John Blaize,” Fleming chronicled the IDSO’s infiltration of the “million-carat network”—the world’s most notorious diamond smuggling ring.

In “Octopussy,” a former operative in the Second World War must face the consequences of past sins when James Bond knocks on the door of his Caribbean fortress, and in “The Property of a Lady” Bond deciphers the elaborate codes of a Sotheby’s bidding war in order to catch a KGB agent. “007 in New York” takes Bond to the titular city to warn an ex-agent of her boyfriend’s secret KGB affiliation. And “The Living Daylights” sends Bond to Berlin to protect a British agent before an assassin strikes.

From the shores of Dieppe in 1942 to The Foreign Department in Kemsley House, from treasure hunting in Norfolk and fine dining in London to a golden typewriter in Jamaica, these are the writings of Ian Fleming. This collection of rarely-seen journalism spans Fleming’s career as an author, encompassing reviews for the Sunday Times, Second World War documents, travel journalism and his correspondence with Raymond Chandler and Geoffrey Boothroyd. It also includes newly-unearthed articles that have not been available for over half a century plus two very early works of fiction.

The following recording is from the late 1950s.

Der einer Gehirnwäsche unterzogene Bond hat versucht, M, seinen Chef, zu ermorden, und ist gescheitert. Nun muss Bond beweisen, dass er in alter Form zurück und wieder vertrauenswürdig ist. „Alles“, was 007 zu tun hat, ist, den tödlichsten Auftragskiller der Welt zur Strecke zu bringen – Paco „Pistols“ Scaramanga, der Mann mit dem goldenen Colt. Doch trotz seiner Lizenz zum Töten ist 007 kein Mörder. So beschließt er auf der Suche nach Scaramanga in der schwülen Hitze Jamaikas, die kriminelle Vereinigung des Killers zu infiltrieren. Bald schon wird ihm klar, dass er seinen Gegner so schnell wie möglich erledigen muss.

Als Bond eine leichtsinnige, junge Frau vor der Selbstzerstörung bewahrt, stößt er auf die Spur einer der gefährlichsten Männer der Welt – Ernst Stavro Blofeld, der Kopf hinter SPECTRE. In der schneebedeckten Feste seiner alpinen Station betreibt Blofeld Forschungen, die die Sicherheit der gesamten Welt bedrohen könnten. Um die Pläne des kriminellen Genies zu vereiteln, muss Bond sich selbst und die lebenswichtigen Informationen, die er gesammelt hat, den SPECTRE-Agenten entreißen und aus der Station retten. Das bedarf der Hilfe einer Person, die weiß, wie man auf Hochtouren läuft.

What do you think of when you think about the book of Revelation? Prophecy, apocalypse, rapture? Revelation rarely shows up in the pulpits of mainline Christian churches, and many progressives feel as if Revelation is only for "the end is near" apocalyptics or Christian Nationalists and QAnon theorists. But the book of Revelation offers so much more if we're willing to crack it open in new ways. The End Is the Beginning cuts through the echo chamber of rapture-haunted apocalyptic anxiety with a clear picture of God's persistent love for all that was, and is, and will be.

Die meisterhaft erzählten Agenten- und Spionageromane aus der Feder Ian Flemings erstmals UNCUT! Für James Bond, Geheimagent 007, kann Spionage eine dreckige Angelegenheit sein. Ob er einen unberechenbaren Major aufspürt, der ein tödliches Geheimnis mit in die Karibik genommen hat, einen russischen Agenten identifiziert, der aus undurchsichtigen Gründen für ein Fabergé-Ei in einem Sotheby’s Auktionshaus bietet, oder unbarmherzig einen Auftragskiller in einer Heckenschützen-Gasse zwischen Ost- und Westberlin niederschießt – Bond schließt den Fall ab – mit verbissener Zielstrebigkeit.

Bond, ein gebrochener Mann nach dem Mord an seiner Frau durch Ernst Stavro Blofeld, will dem Agentenleben entsagen und gefährdet so sich selbst und seine Kollegen. M, der nicht bereit ist, den Verlust einer seiner besten Agenten zu akzeptieren, schickt 007 nach Japan auf eine letzte, fast unlösbare Mission. Aber Japan besiegelt Bonds Untergang, als er in einer mysteriösen Residenz, bekannt als „Schloss des Todes“, auf einen alten, wiederbelebten Feind trifft. Alle Zeichen deuten auf das Ende des britischen Agenten hin... und diesmal scheint selbst Bond dem nichts entgegen halten zu können.

Ian Fleming was best known for bringing to life the legendary character of James Bond, one of the most beloved and enduring icons of our time, but he was perhaps even more interesting than his creation. His career in Naval Intelligence and extensive travels around the world gave Fleming a keen eye and the authority to write on a wide range of topics beyond Bond’s adventures. This collection contains a selection of journalism and other writings by Fleming, covering his wartime experiences, reflections on crime and espionage, and the process of writing his novels, among other topics.
