The adventure begins with three seemingly unconnected events:
a woman in abducted in Peru by flying saucers and ghost-like
twins, a scientist is kidnapped in London, and missiles
are stolen when a British nuclear submarine is attacked
by a high-tech enemy craft under the arctic ice shelf. Meanwhile,
James Bond is on a mission in Switzerland, encountering
the wrath of a KGB window (007 killed her husband earlier).
Bond is called in to London to search for 009, who had been
investigating the missing missiles and had disappeared during
his search in Peru. Prime suspect for the theft of the missiles
is an man called Indigo, who suffers from a rare condition
that gives him the appearance of a human lizard - with the
help of a little genetics treatment. Bond faces his result
of Indigo's experiments whilst trying to find the missing
009, and has a race against time to recover the nuclear
missiles. |

Trivia
Almost every sequence from the three issues has been heavily influenced
by the movie series. Two of the most obvious "lifts"
is the Russian woman avenging her lover's killing by 007 ("The
Spy Who Loved Me"), and the river boat chase in the jungle,
complete with Q-boat ("Moonraker").
