The book follows on directly from Her Majesty's Secret Service, and is very different from the 1967 Sean Connery film of the same name. After the murder of his wife Tracy, the "emotionally traumatized" 007 is reassigned to Japan. There, he is requested by head of Japan's secret intelligence service to assassinate Shatterhand and his wife, who operate "a politically embarrassing 'Garden of Death'". Bond soon realizes that the pair are actually Tracy's killers, Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Irma Bunt, and secretly turns the mission into one of revenge.
Got to give credit where due BJ, you called it! I imagine they'll keep the name, it shows how "Bond woke" they are referencing a lesser known tidbit of Fleming. Working title or no we now know where Bond 25 is heading right into the shatter! Bad jokes aside, we all knew where this film was going as soon as credits rolled on SPECTRE or should I say OHMSS redux. So Craig will lose the love of his life again and go rogue again tearing off on a vengeance fueled rampage yet again, what's this make 5th time in a row?!
