Ernst Stavro Blofeld is James Bond’s arch-nemesis:
a deranged criminal mastermind with ambitions to bring
the world to its knees in his pursuit of
power. This collection brings together three novels featuring the ultimate
Bond villain. First introduced in Thunderball,
Blofeld’s plan to steal
atomic bombs and hold the whole world to ransom leads to a thrilling chase
in the Bahamas. On Her Majesty’s Secret
Service sees Blofeld developing
terrifying weapons - and destroying the one thing Bond holds most dear
- and in You Only Live Twice,
the shattered secret agent must get his revenge in one last, deadly encounter.

Considered by
fans to be the most emotionally intense
of Ian Fleming's
thrillers,
these three novels
feature
007's
true nemesis: the relentless, nefarious Ernst Stavro
Blofeld. Thunderball whisks Bond to the Bahamas, where
Blofeld and the SPECTRE organization threaten to destabilize
the world with two stolen atomic bombs. On Her Majesty's
Secret Service features the thrilling Alpine ski chase
that is so well remembered by fans of 007, and sees Bond's
new wife killed by Blofeld. The British agent is sent
into a tailspin that nearly destroys him before he's
finally able to exact revenge in You Only Live Twice.
Featuring all the action and intrigue of the Bond franchise
with an extra dose of personal vendetta, this trilogy
is a must for every fan of the greatest secret agent
in literary history.
“Fleming has set his stamp on the
story of action and intrigue. . . . His proper place in
literature is with those demi-giants of an earlier day:
Jules Verne, Rider Haggard, Conan Doyle.”—Kingsley
Amis
