About This Item
1964 JAMES BOND 1ed You Only Live Twice Ian Fleming 007 British Spy SPECTRE MI6
Published in 1964, Ian Fleming's "You Only Live Twice" is the twelfth book in the iconic James Bond series, and the third and final entry in the beloved "Blofeld Trilogy" involving the criminal organization, "S.P.E.C.T.R.E." The story features James Bond on a mission in Japan, recovering from his wife's death and facing a crisis in his career. Tasked by "M" to collaborate with Japan's Secret Service, he investigates the enigmatic "Castle of Death" and its leader, Dr. Guntram Shatterhand. With the help of Tiger Tanaka, Bond confronts Shatterhand in a bid to restore his purpose and standing.
The world-famous James Bond novels tell of the fictional British spy, codenamed 007 and his many exploits. Created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, Bond's popularity led to the writing of twelve novels and two short-story collections along with the production of over 25 feature films and counting.

Synopsis
Bond, a shattered man after the death of his wife at the hands of Ernst Stavro Blofeld, has gone to pieces as an agent, endangering himself and his fellow operatives. M, unwilling to accept the loss of one of his best men, sends 007 to Japan for one last, near-impossible mission. But Japan proves to be Bond's downfall, leading him to a mysterious residence known as the 'Castle of Death' where he encounters an old enemy revitalized. All the omens suggest that this is the end for the British agent and, for once, even Bond himself seems unable to disagree...
