| The last great adventures of Agent 007. Octopussy, the
darling, was a bit surly. The tentacle she lashed around Major Smythe’s
arm that morning was none too gentle. So when Smythe found himself the
sudden quarry of James Bond at cocktail time, the Major had a brilliant,
if rather gruesome, inspiration. The Living Daylights are about to be
blasted out of a living target on a crowded Berlin street. Crouched behind
a .308 rifle, James Bond sights his victim, makes a split-second decision,
and gently squeezes the trigger. The Property of a Lady, a valuable objet
d’art, is about to be auctioned at Sotheby’s. At the start of the
bargaining, the room becomes electric with danger and terror and nobody
but James Bond knows why. |
