BOND BLINKED in surprise as he exited the building, which seemed to be the basement of a condemned warehouse. He recognized immediately that he was in Moscow, for he had been there many times. He heard Major Amasova bark something into a radio that sounded like

THE BLACK SEA
OFF THE COAST OF ISTANBUL


THE TERRORIST known as Hafiz stepped off the boat and onto his private island at precisely six. The sun was setting and the sky was stained a blood red. The island was nothing more than a spit of land, visible from no coast of the sea. It housed a gigantic glass structure that took up the entire island. The building was complete with a helicopter pad, a dock, and a well hidden missile silo in the center. The silo was what Hafiz had come to see.
Hafiz wasn

ISTANBUL

THREE HUNDRED MILES away, James Bond arrived off his flight to Istanbul at Istanbul International Airport. He was now in his hotel room in the European section of downtown Istanbul, drinking a shot of Smirnoff vodka. Istanbul is the only city in the world to be divided between to continents, Europe and Asia. The Bosporous, a narrow strait that connects the Black Sea with the Sea of Marmara, separates the European and Asian sides. Istanbul is rich in beautiful architecture and known for warm summers and mild winters, making it a huge spot for international tourism. Bond didn

VAUXHALL CROSS
LONDON


AN EMERGENCY MEETING had been called between high ranking members of the British intelligence community at MI6. At the head of the table, M stood, preparing to start her briefing on the threat situation. At the other end sat the Prime Minister.
M cleared her throat and began.

LONDON

CHARLES ROBINSON stood in the lobby of the hospital, soaking wet from the unstoppable rain. It was late, and Charles was tired, but the horrific news had been enough to shock his system into full alertness. A nurse appeared out M

INSIDE THE FORTRESS, Nicolas Stromberg was shaken from a dreamless sleep by his bodyguard, Kraken.

NICOLAS STROMBERG was not a patient man. He kept looking over his shoulder, expecting Kraken to return with James Bond as his prisoner, and was disappointed every time.

THE FOUR SEASONS Istanbul was the most expensive, and the fanciest hotel in probably all of Turkey. It was a converted prison in the historic Sultanahmet district with stunning views of the Hagia Sophia, a basilica dating back to the sixth century, when it had been constructed for the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. Anya and Bond had two adjoining rooms on the top floor of the hotel, with one of the most impressive views Bond had ever seen in all of his travel. The hotel had an excellent, if pricy dinner of Turkish and international foods, and served delicious Turkish coffee, after which fortuned tellers would look into your cups and tell your future for free.
Bond had been contacted that night by his superiors at MI6. He took the call inside his Aston Martin, after Anya had gone up to bed. An ally she may be, but still one from a rival superpower. That hadn

3/Finger on the Trigger

ISTANBUL


STROMBERG was perched lazily on one of the leather chairs on the observation deck that stuck out over the main floor of the private club. The club was dark, bathed in blue light with red lasers criss-crossing the dance floor. A sea of gyrating bodies churned beneath him, turning to the bombardment of terrible European techno music blasting over the speakers. The drink in his hand, a costly crystal snifter of champagne, was free. Stromberg personally knew the club

BOND AWOKE from a fitful sleep after only two hours. The sun was rising outside his window as he immediately got up and dressed. He and Anya walked down to the restaurant and ordered a decidedly Western breakfast of scrambled eggs and bacon and also two cups of Turkish coffee. The day ahead of them was going to be a trying one, and Bond had gotten word from MI6 before he went to sleep that a unit of Special Forces troops was on their way. They would be attacking the island base right after sundown.


NAOMI stood at the entrance to the restaurant, hidden from view behind a large potted plant. She couldn

NICOLAS STROMBERG sneered. He stood in front of the panoramic window, clutching a specialized H&K XM8 lightweight assault rifle. It was pointed straight at the door, the laser sight dancing exactly where Bond

IT SEEMED LIKE the whole thing was over. The missiles had been deactivated, the terrorists crouched in the lounge arrested, and Nicolas Stromberg and Jin Ho-Shin, the only one who could control the missiles, were taken care of. Backup was on its way to arrest the rest of the RedRaven Corp men. Bond, Anya, and Beta Team were gathered in the middle of the missile silo when suddenly the entire fortress was rocked with a tremendous explosion.
Bond spun to face Jin Ho-Shin.

ST. PETERSBURG
TWO WEEKS LATER

[AMVanish13]

JAMES BOND walked briskly down the cold streets of St. Petersburg. The sidewalks were covered in filthy black snow now that the snow had stopped falling. He checked the address once again and then proceeded up the steps to the small, anonymous looking home where Anya had once lived.
As he approached, the door opened a crack and an unshaven, intense looking man with hard brown eyes appeared.
