His mission to Japan reunites him with his old friend Tiger Tanaka. It's been years since they worked together, but the dangers they faced then are nothing compared with what awaits them today.

With an emergency G-8 summit meeting just days away, Bond has his work cut out for him to discover when and how the next attack will occur. It's a race against time as Bond confronts both man and nature in a desperate bid to stop the release of a deadly virus that could destroy the Western world.
