You take a wrong step, play the wrong card in Fate's game, and you're lost in a world you had never imagined, against which you have no weapons. No compass.' Vivienne Michel is running away - from pain, from rejection, from humiliation. When she stumbles into a criminal plot, her life seems over... until a chance encounter with James Bond turns her world upside down. Ian Fleming's tenth 007 novel is a unique view of Bond, through the eyes of a woman who loves him.
