For James Bond, British secret agent 007, international espionage can be a dirty business. Tracking down a wayward major who has taken a deadly secret with him to the Caribbean, identifying a top Russian agent secretly bidding for a Faberge egg in a Sotheby's auction room, and more, it's all in a day's work for him.

The destruction of a Russian hideout at SHAPE headquarters near Paris, the planned assassination of a Cuban thug in America, the tracking of a heroin ring from Rome to Venice and beyond, for Bond it is just routine. For anyone else - certain death.

Bringing together all of the James Bond short stories for the first time, this is the ultimate celebration of suave and deadly secret agent 007.

Ian Fleming, the creator of 'James Bond', invented 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' for his young son Caspar, and it went on to become the most famous and best-loved car in fiction. This treasured story inspired a film and a musical and is celebrated in this lavish, highly collectible new edition.

When Bond is called in to investigate a mysterious 'box' which has gone missing after the murder of its owner, Mike Channing, he becomes involved with a beautiful, deadly young adventuress - and the nefarious Baron Sharck. Can 007 avoid betrayal and death while persuading Channing's blind wife that he is her husband?

In this latest action-packed, Bond teams up with fellow 00 agent Suzi Kew once again on another sun-soaked episode.

This is the story that introduced us to James Bond. In his first mission, 007 must neutralize a Russian operative by ruining him at the Baccarat table and forcing his 'retirement'. But, Bond's attraction to a beautiful female agent leads him to disaster.
