Girl: Vesper Villain's Plot: Gambling to finance SMERSH activities. Main locations: Royale, France. The first and probably the most low key of the original books. Strangely enough most of the action takes place in a Casino in the french town of Royal. Bond has been send by M to use his card skills to stop the Russian agent Le Chifree from wining back embezzled funds. Bond is successful with the help from his new American friend Felix Lieter and manages to win the money with still a third of the book to go. I won't spoil things for first time readers but Fleming has a few surprises in store for both his audiance and this new hero. Possibly the most downbeat of the books along with OHMSS. |
