When MI6 uncovers a plot by the international terrorist Greco to carry out a devastating suicide attack on the G-20 leaders gathered for a summit in Athens, M assigns her top agent, James Bond, to stop him. Bond chases Greco through the city and, in a high-speed pursuit behind the wheel of an Aston Martin, foils the deadly plan before it can reach the summit. But the mission is only the beginning. The following morning, M sends Bond to Istanbul on the trail of Malcolm Tedworth, a Ministry of Defence researcher who vanished while conducting top-secret work and is believed to have been kidnapped for it. As Bond races to recover the missing scientist and his research, the investigation draws him ever deeper into a dangerous international conspiracy spanning the globe.
