Kissy Suzuki

**Kissy Suzuki** is an Awabi diver and ex actress who assists James Bond on a mission to Japan.

## History

### *You Only Live Twice*

Kissy Suzuki was an Ama diving girl from the island of Kuro. She was spotted by a talent agent who hired her for a film in Hollywood. Kissy made the film and received a generous paycheck. She became an overnight celebrity and was donned the "Japanese Greta Garbo".

However, Kissy did not enjoy her experience, being disgusted by the conduct of the actors she met. The only one who was ever polite to her was David Niven, whom she later named her pet bird David after. As a result she retired from acting and returned home to Japan.

She is distantly related to one of Tiger Tanaka's agents and is therefore asked to assist Bond with his mission for Tanaka. Bond, going undercover as a Japanese fisherman, stays with Kissy and her family on Kuro in order to better establish his cover. Bond and Kissy use their cover to investigate a nearby island where the evil organization SPECTRE and its leader, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, occupy a castle where Blofeld maintains a "garden of death" where people come to commit suicide. Bond, however, is secretly seeking revenge for the murder of his late wife, Tracy. Bond is helped by Kissy to swim to Blofeld's "Castle of Death" where he scales the cliff to infiltrate the fortress.

Bond sustains amnesia after a strike on the head in the aftermath of his vendetta against Blofeld and is believed dead by Tiger, Dikko Henderson and his superiors; in reality, he was rescued by Kissy who nurtures him back to health inside a cave. Bond comes to believe he is a local fisherman and lives with Kissy for several months.

When Bond memory is faintly triggered by a newspaper article, he decides to leave for Vladivostok, Russia, believing the answers to his identity lie there. Kissy does not follow him or prevent him from going, keeping a promise that she would not do so. Unknown to Bond, she is pregnant with his child. Kissy Suzuki therefore, remains the only character who bears a child by him (that has been revealed at least).

### "Blast From the Past"

Kissy Suzuki appears again in the Bond canon in "Blast From the Past", a short story published in 1996 by Raymond Benson as a direct sequel to *You Only Live Twice*. By the time of this story, Kissy is now deceased (having succumbed to ovarian cancer a few years before the story's events) and Bond is contacted by his Anglo-Japanese son named James Suzuki, of whom he has evidently learned of in the interim.

Although Bond knew of the birth of his son early on; he has not apparently paid much attention to his duties as a father; save for paying for the tuition and expenses when his son was a college undergraduate.
The Boneyard

**The Boneyard** is a nightclub owned by Mr. Big located in Harlem, New York.

## History

The Boneyard is a jazz club that also showcases exotic dancers in the heart of Harlem. Mr. Big uses the club as a legitimate corporate front for his operations. James Bond and Felix Leiter end up there while investigating Mr. Big after a phony tip off organized by "Whisper". A trap is in wait and the pair are subsequently captured.

There, Bond meets the beautiful Solitaire, a fortune teller in Mr. Big's employ. To Bond's advantage, she lies, and he is released with only a broken finger courtesy of Tee-Hee Johnson, one of Mr. Big's henchmen, as a warning. Leiter is also released by a member who has a mutual love of jazz music.
Seraffimo Spang

**Serrafimo Spang** is a Las Vegas casino tycoon and brother of London jewel expert Jack Spang. Together the pair head a criminal organization called the Spangled Mob, and are involved in the diamond smuggling trade.

## History

Twin brothers Serrafimo and Jack Spang are the controllers of the Spangled Mob; a crime syndicate which operates widely in the United States. Together with Jack, Serrafimo establishes a diamond smuggling 'pipeline' reaching from Africa to North America via Europe.

Seraffimo Spang runs the Tiara hotel in Las Vegas which he owns and also operates it as the headquarters of the Spangled Mob. Seraffimo also oversees the smuggling operations of the Spangled Mob at the end of the pipeline, giving instructions to smugglers such as Tiffany Case and the Spangled Mob's chief enforcers, Wint & Kidd from Las Vegas.

After James Bond deliberately wins extra money with his payment fee at the hotel's card tables, Seraffimo has him kidnapped and dragged out to his own private ghost town, Spectreville. There, Spang likes to reside remotely in a "Wild West" themed surrounding.

At Spectreville, Bond is tortured by Spang's men and is exposed as a spy. However, Tiffany Case manages to free him in the night. The pair escape in a railroad inspection cart after Bond sets fire to the ghost town. Spang emerges, however and is on their tail in his private locomotive. Bond and Tiffany get off and switch the tracks setting Spang's locomotive down a side track into a mine. Bond shoots and kills Spang as his train goes past.

## Behind the scenes

Literary academic Jeremy Black criticised the characters of the Spang brothers for being unexciting villains in comparison to many of Fleming's other characters. He called him "little more than an effective hood" and notes the lack of any megalomania or unusual personality quirks common in other Bond villains.

Is Newtonian Physics a Sufficient Explanation for Celestial Mechanics?

Everyone has probably heard a physics teacher tell you that Earth
moves around the Sun like a stone rotating on a string. Stone's inertia =
 Earth's inertia. String counteracting it = Gravitation counteracting
it.

Youtube provides a video for those who haven't:

Earth revolves around the Sun like a stone on a string | Gravitation | Physics on KClassScienceChannel :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKvCmUpCVIA

Is this a good illustration?

If inertia = inertia is a good illustration, string = gravitation
 is perhaps not the best we can do. How about electromagnetic
attractiong = gravitation?

This video provides an example:

[ISS] Don Petit, Science Off The Sphere - Water Droplets Orbiting Charged Knitting Needle on SpaceVids.tv:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyRv8bNDvq4

Note that the balance between inertia and attraction is more
delicate than that between inertia and string. It breaks in this example
 after 10 - 20 orbits.

So, how can we be sure the balance is better in the cosmological
case? That it works without either divine or angelic interference?
SPECTRE

**SPECTRE** (an acronym of Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion) is a global terrorist organisation. SPECTRE was founded and led by evil genius and villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld. SPECTRE is not aligned to any nation or political ideology and works purely for personal gain and profit.

SPECTRE's physical headquarters is in Paris, operating behind a front organisation aiding refugees (Firco).

## Ideology

SPECTRE is effectively a commercial enterprise led by Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Their top-level members were 21 individuals, 18 of whom handled day-to-day affairs and were drawn in groups of three from six of the world's greatest criminal organisations—the former Gestapo, SMERSH, Marshal Tito's secret police, the Sicilian Mafia, the Unione Corse, and a massive heroin-smuggling ring based in Turkey.

## History

SPECTRE's first and last appearance as a worldwide power is in the novel *Thunderball*, published in 1961. In the novel, SPECTRE, headed by Blofeld, attempts to conduct nuclear blackmail against NATO. Apparently disbanded afterwards, SPECTRE is said to be active again in the next book, *The Spy Who Loved Me*, although the organisation is not involved in the plot. Bond describes investigating their activities in Toronto before the story begins.

In *On Her Majesty's Secret Service*, the second chapter of what is known as the "Blofeld Trilogy", Blofeld has revived SPECTRE and is hired by an unnamed country or party (though the Soviet Union is implied) is executing a plan to ruin British agriculture, and Blofeld's final appearance, sans SPECTRE, is in the final novel of the trilogy, *You Only Live Twice*.

Later, the John Gardner Bond novel, *For Special Services* introduces a revived SPECTRE led by Blofeld's daughter, Nena Bismaquer. Although Bond ultimately prevents SPECTRE from reforming, it continued, under the leadership of Tamil Rahani, to play a part in *Role of Honour* and *Nobody Lives For Ever*. The next Bond novelist, Raymond Benson, reintroduces Irma Bunt, Blofeld's assistant, in his short story "Blast From the Past", which is a sequel to *You Only Live Twice*.
Greifen

Greifen sind sehr seltene Lebewesen in Vagorn. Durch ihre Fähigkeit zu Fliegen und auf dem Rück noch Humans zu transportieren sind Sie ein wertvolles Gut. Jedoch ist es selbst mit Hilfe der Humans nur sehr schwer für Nachwuchs bei Greifen zu Sorgen. So legt ein Greifen Weibchen gerne 2-5 Eier auf einmal, jedoch stehen die Überlebenschancen gerade mal bei 20% bis es zum Schlüpfen geht. Selbst unter optimalen Bedingungen sterben viele Greifen noch in den Eiern. Sollte ein Greif dann doch mal Schlüpfen überlebt es dies auch meistens.

Durch diese Seltenheit werden Greifen sehr wertgeschätzt in Vagorn und gehören meistens zu den Adligen und Königen der Welt. Desse bewusst sind Greifen meist sehr Eitel und suchen die Aufmerksamkeit. Schon von klein auf hat ein Greif mehrere Humans die sich nur um das Wohl des Greifenbabys kümmern. Doch dieses Ego sorgt auch gleichzeitig dafür dass Greifen wegen Treue und Loyalität gegenüber ihren Besitzern haben. So ist es nicht selten dass der König selbst nicht mal den Greif reiten kann.

Die Anatomie eines Greifen ist eine Mischung aus Adler und Löwe. Dadurch sind Greifen zu Land als auch in der Luft sehr schnell. Auch ihre Kampfkraft ist nicht zu unterschätzen, wobei dabei sehr viel der Flugvorteil macht. Der Speichel von Greifen beschleunigt zudem die Regeneration bei anderen Lebewesen. Greifen können um die 250 Jahre alt werden und bis zu 7 mal Eier legen. Sollte ein Greif aus freie Stücken mit einem Human interagieren oder sich sogar reiten lassen, heißt es dass der Human königliches Blut in sich trägt und dadurch von momentanen Herrscher in Adel erhoben wird.
Horst Uhlmann

**Horst Uhlmann** is an ex-Gestapo SPECTRE operative who operated out of Toronto, Canada. He is briefly mentioned in the 1962 Ian Fleming novel *The Spy Who Loved Me*, where Bond describes investigating SPECTRE's activities in Toronto before the story begins.

## Novel biography

Bond relates the story of a previous assignment to Vivienne Michel. He explains how a Russian defector dubbed Boris, an influential member of their nuclear submarine team who had settled in Toronto, was placed on the Soviet Union's hit-list. The assassination job was subsequently contracted out to SPECTRE for the fee of one hundred thousand pounds. Horst Uhlmann, a former member of the Gestapo and SPECTRE operative, was assigned the task and approached "The Mechanics", the toughest of the Toronto gangs, to assist him in killing the defector for fifty thousand dollars.

Later, Uhlmann led a murder squad that consisted of three top gunmen from the mob and walked into a trap set by Bond (posing as Boris) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Caught in the ambush, Uhlmann broke into the defector's house whilst the mob enforcers engaged in a gunfight with the Mounties and had his machine-gun shot out of his hands by Bond. He jumped behind the door, which 007 promptly sprayed with a wide Z of bullets - two of which hit him in the left shoulder and right hip - and fired a quick burst before crashing down behind the door.

As the firefight subsided, a Mountie appears at the entrance to Bond's room and offers him assistance; prompting the German, who had been laying quiet, to fire through the door at the voice, killing him. Bond retaliated, incapacitating him and brought him to hospital in an ambulance. They attempted to get him to talk in hospital, but as Bond lamented "a mixture of Gestapo and SPECTRE is a good one – and he died the next morning."
Kronsteen

**Kronsteen** (Кронстейна) is a fictional character from the James Bond novel *From Russia with Love* by Ian Fleming. In the novel Kronsteen was the head of the planning department for SMERSH.

## History

Kronsteen holds the rank of Colonel and is the head of the Planning Department at SMERSH. He had been the chess champion at Moscow for 2 years, and when he was first introduced, he was playing the final round of what could be his 3rd win. He was near the end of the game against the Georgian champion Makharov, when he received a letter saying "You are required this instance".

When Kronsteen read the note from SMERSH, he was only moments away from winning the championship, but he knew that he could be killed by SMERSH if he didn't obey the note immediately. With sweat coming down his brow, he disobeyed the order and took three minutes to win the tournament, later telling SMERSH that the public would have been suspicious of him if he had left with only a few moves away from a win.

Kronsteen thought of all people as chess pieces, and he was constantly planning ways to manipulate them and use them to his advantage. Good and bad meant nothing to him, and human life, even that of his own children, was a mere tool, with no significance.

The letter Kronsteen received summoned him to a meeting with the head of SMERSH, General Grubozaboyschikov and the Head of Operations, Rosa Klebb. The General wanted Kronsteen to devise a plan to create a scandal and kill a British agent, humiliating both him and the whole of MI6. Kronsteen ignored Klebb's condescending tone while she outlined her choice of men to bring in on the mission. Although he was skeptical of her choices, her opinions satisfied him.

Kronsteen decided that he would lure an agent into Turkey with a beautiful Russian girl, by having her send a message to MI6, asking to be brought back to England in exchange for a Spektor decoding machine. He would then kill the agent and the girl, and steal the decoding machine back, making a fool out of MI6 and accomplishing his objective.

He decided that the agent should be James Bond, because his high reputation would humiliate the British even more. He had a watch put on Bond and realized that he was off a mission and would be perfect for the trap. He choose Istanbul, Turkey as the meeting point because of its weak MI6 base and its strong MGB base.
Hendriks

**Hendriks** is a foreign intelligence operative of Dutch origin working abroad for the KGB.

## History

Hendriks is a rather short stocky man who works in the foreign intelligence section of the Soviet KGB. He appears to be a controller who oversees the operations and operating costs of KGB agents working overseas.

In 1964 he is sent to Jamaica to see the progress report on the activities of Francisco Scaramanga, an agent under loose KGB guidance who works for them in the Caribbean. Whilst attending the summit where Scaramanga updated his associates on the activities of their syndicate, Hendriks suspects that one of the men present working for Scaramanga is a double agent. After one night, the man in question "Mark Hazard" performed a trick shot show for the other guests with abilities that convinced Hendriks he was a foreign agent.

The next day Hendriks phoned Moscow to see if any unfriendly operatives were known to be in his area and finds out that Hazard is actually British agent named James Bond. Hendriks immediately informs Scaramanga, and the two plan to kill him at the end of the day. However, before they get the chance Hendriks is shot in the head by Bond on board a train.
Whisper

Affiliation:

**Whisper** is one of Mr. Big's henchmen and member of the Black Voodoo Cult.

## History

Whisper was born on 'Lung Block', on Seventh Avenue, at 142nd Street, where death from tuberculosis was twice as high as anywhere else in New York city. During his childhood, Whisper's quiet voice is attributed to a bout of tuberculosis during infancy, from which one and a half of his lungs had to be removed, leaving him with only half a lung with which to breathe and talk.

Later, Whisper became an assistant to Whisper the negro gang in Harlem run by Mr. Big working as a telephone messenger. When James Bond escapes Mr. Big's men, he is sent out to pursue him, though unsuccessful. He is arrested in the end of the novel after Mr. Big's death off Jamaica.
Wutreptil

Das Wutreptil ist ein Dämon des Gegenschlags und Provokation. Durch seine seelenreflektierenden Schuppen provoziert er um nahe gelegene Wesen ihn anzugreifen. Darauf kann er dann mit seiner zweite Kraft reagieren, der Gegenschlag, welcher die Kraft von einkommen Angriffen speichert und auf Wunsch des Wutreptils zurückwirft in Form eine Kraftwelle.

Das Wutreptil wird meist verwendet um wie eine Bombe zu fungieren. Meist in den feindlichen Reihen beschworen und dann warten bis die Gegner sich selbst ausrotten durch die Kraftwelle. Dabei muss man allerdings aufpassen dass man selbst nicht der Provokation verfällt.

Meist wird beschworen um Gegner auszuschalten oder selbst die Fähigkeiten der Provokation udn des Konters zu erlangen.

Quantum of Solace

Published in:

**"Quantum of Solace"** is a short story written by Ian Fleming featuring his fictional secret agent James Bond, first published in 1959. It was included in the 1960 short story collection *For Your Eyes Only*.

"Quantum of Solace" was first published in *Cosmopolitan* in May 1959 with illustrations by Bob Peak.

## Plot

After completing a mission in the Bahamas, Bond is in Nassau and attends a dinner party at Government House. When the other guests have left, Bond remarks that, if he ever marries, he imagines it would be nice to marry an air hostess. The Governor then tells Bond the story of a relationship between a former civil servant Philip Masters and flight attendant/air hostess Rhoda Llewellyn. After meeting aboard a flight to London, the couple married and went to live in Bermuda; but, after a time, Rhoda began a long open affair with the eldest son of a rich Bermudian family. As a result, Masters' work deteriorated, and he suffered a nervous breakdown. After recovering, he was given a break from Bermuda by the Governor and sent on an assignment to Washington. Upon his return, Masters was determined to end his marriage; and he divided their home into two sections, half to each of them and refused to have anything to do with his wife in private—although they continued to appear as a couple in public. He eventually returned to the UK alone, leaving Rhoda with unpaid debts and stranded in Bermuda—a cruel act which he would have been incapable of carrying out just a few months earlier. The Governor explains his point to Bond: when the "Quantum of Solace" drops to zero, humanity and consideration of one human for another is gone and the relationship is finished. Despite the success of Masters' plan to take revenge on his unfaithful wife, he never recovered emotionally. After a time, Rhoda married a rich Canadian. The Governor then reveals that the dinner companions whom Bond found dull were in fact Rhoda and her rich Canadian husband.

## Background

"Quantum of Solace" was based on a story told to Fleming by his neighbour and lover Blanche Blackwell about a real-life police inspector, who Fleming turned into the civil servant, Philip Masters. As thanks for the story, Fleming bought Blackwell a Cartier watch. Fleming wrote the story in the style of W Somerset Maugham  and this was Fleming's homage to a writer he greatly admired. The story takes its structure - an agent's private conversation with a high-ranking diplomat about socially unequal romance - from Maugham's short story "His Excellency".

Miss Moneypenny

**Moneypenny** is the private secretary of M, head of MI6. She is a regular, albeit unsubstantial, character throughout the Bond series.

## History

Miss Moneypenny is a confidential clerk and private secretary to M, James Bond's superior, and the head of MI6. Her desk is in the room adjoining the entrances to M and his chief-of-staff Bill Tanner's offices. She holds the rank of Lieutenant RN, which is a prerequisite rank for this position. She is cleared for Top-Secret, Eyes-Only and Cabinet-Level intelligence reports, the latter of which she is often required to prepare, and in some cases present. Moneypenny is depicted as being utterly dedicated to her work, implying she has little time for a social life.

A close confidante of her boss, she also enjoys a flirtatious — though never consummated — relationship with Bond, whom she understands perfectly. Moneypenny is also described as being naturally inquisitive and possessing "eyes which were cool and direct and quizzical" which prevents her from being desirable to Bond. She is shown tacitly to be smitten with Bond. For example, in the novel *Thunderball*, Fleming wrote that she "often dreamed hopelessly about Bond." However, she never vocalizes these feelings. Moneypenny seldom interacts with Bond directly as he also has his own secretary (Loelia Ponsonby and later Mary Goodnight) with whom he has closer working relationships.

## Background

In Fleming's first draft of *Casino Royale*, Moneypenny's name instead "Miss 'Petty' Pettaval," which was taken from Kathleen Pettigrew, the personal assistant to real life MI6 director Stewart Menzies. Fleming changed however it in order to be less obvious. In Andrew Lycett's *Ian Fleming*, he discloses the source of the name "Miss Moneypenny," to be the name of a character in an unpublished novel by Fleming's brother, Peter. Other candidates for Moneypenny's inspiration include Vera Atkins of Special Operations Executive; Paddy Ridsdale, a Naval Intelligence secretary; and Joan Bright Astley, whom Fleming dated during World War II, and who was noted for giving a warm and friendly reception to senior officers who visited her office to view confidential papers.

## Trivia

* Moneypenny's first name is never revealed, however in several novels she is referred to as "Penny" (a shortened version of her last name) by Bond and Bill Tanner. The spin-off series *The Moneypenny Diaries* by Samantha Weinberg gave her the first name of Jane however.

 Publisher
 Pages

***Trigger Mortis*** is a 2015 James Bond novel written by Anthony Horowitz, and commissioned by the estate of Bond's creator Ian Fleming, which was published on 8 September 2015.

The book is set in 1957 against the backdrop of the Space Race, and begins two weeks after the events of *Goldfinger*. The novel is the first in the literary series to be set during the original timeline created by Fleming since 1968's *Colonel Sun* and sees the return of Bond girl Pussy Galore.

## Plot

The book is set in 1957 against the backdrop of the Space Race, and begins two weeks after the events of *Goldfinger*. The novel is the first in the literary series to be set during the original timeline created by Fleming since 1968's *Colonel Sun* and sees the return of Bond girl Pussy Galore, who made her debut in *Goldfinger*. Bond's mission is to protect a British racing driver at the Nürburgring racetrack. He begins with driving lessons from an expert driver, Logan Fairfax, who shows Bond the ropes in a Maserati 250. Pussy finds herself a little tied up and painted a la Goldfinger, but Bond saves her just before she succumbs to death by painting. At the Nürburgring Bond beats the would be assassin with a pit manoeuvre at high speed and the true mission is then revealed.

## Background

In the 1950s, Ian Fleming wrote several episode treatments for an ultimately unmade James Bond television series. The material, was an episode treatment for it. "It's a huge challenge... but having original, unpublished material by Fleming has been an inspiration." said Horowitz. Horowitz said Fleming's hero had had "a profound influence" on his life adding: "This is a book I had to write." "When the estate approached me to write a new James Bond novel how could I possibly refuse?" said the 59-year-old, who was made an OBE in the New Year Honours.

Several of the plots turned into the short stories that are now in the collections *For Your Eyes Only* and *Octopussy and The Living Daylights*. There are still several plot outlines which Fleming never adapted and which, until now, have not been published. "Given that Anthony is as brilliant a screenwriter as he is a novelist, we thought it would be exciting to see what he would do with one of them." said Jessie Grimond, Fleming's great-niece.

Golden Gun

The Golden Gun is the signature weapon belonging to Cuban assassin Francisco Scaramanga. It appeared as the titular weapon in Ian Fleming's posthumously published 1965 novel, The Man with the Golden Gun. In the novel it is a gold-plated .45-calibre revolver.

## Specifications

* Production: unique
* Type: Pistol
* Weight: 1,048 g
* Length: 12.5" (31.8 cm)
* Capacity: 6 rounds
* Fire Modes: Single action

## Background

The golden gun is a gold-plated .45-calibre revolver that carries gold dum-dum bullets with silver jackets. Bond himself uses the gun once to shoot a pineapple off a dancing showgirl's head. The dossier M reads on Scaramanga suggests that he has a form of fetish with guns and that having such an ornate weapon may act as a form of compensation for a possible lacking of sexual promiscuity that he is famed for.

Additionally, Scaramanga also carries a single shot golden derringer with a bullet coated in snake venom that poisoned Bond.
Jill Masterton

**Jill Masterton** was the private secretary and assistant to Auric Goldfinger.

## History

Jill Masterton is employed by Auric Goldfinger as a private secretary as well as to help him win at cards and to be "seen" with him in public. She can see Goldfinger's opponent’s cards through her high-powered binoculars. She communicates via radio with Goldfinger (who receives the messages through a false hearing aid), telling him what cards his opponent has and what is going on in the game.

She is an intelligent and very beautiful woman who Bond thinks is too nice to be involved with Goldfinger. Jill enjoyed Bond's act of humiliating Goldfinger demonstrating her having little regard for her employer.

After Goldfinger's humiliation, she and James Bond make love as they take an overnight train up the east coast. Jill was later killed by Goldfinger revenge for the card game, and painted entirely in gold, his calling card. Bond later asks Goldfinger about her at Sandwich, where Goldfinger simply states she has "left his employ".

Bond does not learn of her horrible fate until he meets Tilly Masterton, Jill's revenge driven sister, in Switzerland.

## Behind the scenes

The bizarre nature of her death is explained as skin suffocation. Although attributed to have happened to cabaret dancers, the validity of actually dying from this method has been viewed as dubious.
Annabelle Chung

Affiliation:

**Annabelle Chung** is a supposed photographer employed by local Kingston newspaper, the Daily Gleaner; in reality she is employed by Dr. Julius No - to spy on James Bond.

## History

Annabelle Chung first appears in the film at Kingston airport where she attempts to take a photograph of James Bond as he arrives in Jamaica. Bond, eager to keep his presence in Jamaica a secret, spots her in the act and manages to obscure part of his face.

She later tries to take another photo of Bond a as he is discussing plans Quarrel at a Jamaican calypso restaurant. This time she is spotted by Bond who orders Quarrel to seize her. Bond asks her who she is working for and she replies that she was working for the Daily Gleaner, a local newspaper in Kingston. When Bond asks the head waiter, Pus-Feller, to check it out, she is forced to change her story and confess that she was a freelance photographer.

She then attempts to physically harm Quarrel by cutting his face with a broken flashbulb from her camera. Quarrel seems unaffected and threatens to break her arm. Bond then destroys her film and she is set free, never to be seen again, after stating that the men will be sorry for their actions and "he" [Dr. No] with "get" them.
Universal Exports

**Universal Exports** or **Universal Export Co.** is a fictional import-export company which acts as a cover for the British Secret Service and as the employer of their agents.

## History

Universal Exports made its first appearance in the second Ian Fleming novel, *Live and Let Die*, under the name *Universal Export*. In the novel, "Universal Export" acts as one of the covers used by British field agents. When an agent needed to make an urgent call to London, on an insecure line, they played the role of a company representative contacting their managing director. The operative then proceeded to report in, concealing his real message in corporate jargon.

In *Moonraker* it is also mentioned that the "Universal Export Co." is the cover for the Secret Service's offices in London. Along with other fictional businesses "Radio Tests Ltd.", "Delaney Bros. (1940) Ltd" and the "Omnium Corporation" they occupy the "big, grey building near Regents Park".

By the time *On Her Majesty's Secret Service* takes place, it is noted that the "Universal Export" cover story was all but finished. After almost having his cover blown Bond muses, "As cover, solid cover, Universal was 'Brûlé' with the pros. It had been in use too long. All the secret services in the world had penetrated it by now. Obviously Blofeld knew all about it." In *The Man with the Golden Gun* it is revealed that the now defunct "Universal Export" cover has been officially replaced with a new one - "Transworld Consortium".

Monique Delacroix Bond

**Monique Delacroix Bond** is the mother of James Bond and the spouse of Andrew Bond. Like her husband, she has only a brief description in Fleming's penultimate novel, *You Only Live Twice* as well as a mention in *On Her Majesty's Secret Service*.

## History

Monique Delacroix was born in Switzerland in the Canton de Vaud. Both she and her husband were killed in a tragic mountain climbing accident in the Aiguilles Rouges near Chamonix. Their eleven-year-old son James was orphaned. The young James Bond spends much of his early life abroad, becoming multilingual in German and French because of his mother's Swiss heritage.

### Non-Canonical

In Jeffrey Deaver's re-imagined Bond setting (the 2011 Bond novel *Carte Blanche*) was an attempted contemporary reboot. There it states that while she pretended to be a freelance photojournalist, Monique was really a freelance Spy Hunter for MI6.

## Trivia

It was not until the penultimate novel, *You Only Live Twice*, that Ian Fleming gave Bond a sense of family background, using a fictional obituary, purportedly from *The Times*. The book was the first to be written after the release of *Dr. No* in cinemas and Sean Connery's depiction of Bond affected Fleming's interpretation of the character.

In 1931 during his time in Geneva Ian Fleming became engaged to Monique Panchaud de Bottens from Vich in the canton of Vaud, but ultimately they severed their relationship. Monique would later marry George de Mestral, inventor of Velcro.

Midsummer Night's Doom

**"Midsummer Night's Doom"** is a short story written By Raymond Benson. It was published in Playboy Magazine, January 1999, purposely to coincide and complement Playboy’s 45th anniversary.

## Plot

The story opens with a briefing in M's office. She enquires Bond how much he knows about the Playboy Magazine and Hugh Hefner. Bond reveals that he once bumped into Hefner whilst the latter was on a fishing trip in Jamaica. She reveals that there is a leak in the Ministry Of Defense and its seemingly changing hands at parties being held at the Playboy Mansion West, Hugh Hefner’s home in Los Angeles.

Bond attends one of Hefner’s legendary parties and takes note of a rock star named Martin Tuttle, whose ex-wife worked for the Ministry of Defense. She'd smuggle out secrets and give them to Tuttle, who'd fly them back to the US and then pass them on to members of the Russian Mob at the Playboy parties. Unknown to Tuttle, his ex-wife has been picked up by the authorities, and she has revealed the whole set-up. Bond sets out to follow Tuttle to the Playboy Mansion and find out who his contact is.

Tuttle is carrying the microfilm plans for infrared focal plane arrays (a camera device that can imitate the human eye and then process the data it receives). The Playboy party is a theme night – the annual Midsummer Night’s Dream party. The guests are expected to attend wearing their pyjamas, nightshirts and (obviously) exotic lingerie. Bond arrives at the party in his pyjamas covered by an Oriental silk kimono. Soon after he meets "Hef" who acts as Q, handing Bond a gold pen which acts as a radio transceiver, and an accompanying earpiece.

Afterwards, Bond blends in with the party and dances with Miss October of that year. Also attending the party is Tony Curtis, Robert and Jim Brown. There is also a boorish Russian film-maker by the name of Anton Redenius.

Count Lippe

**Count Lippe** is a phony Italian aristocrat, SPECTRE operative and member of a Chinese Tong.

## History

Count Lippe is described as an extremely handsome womanizer and killer. He has brown hair, is athletic-looking, roughly six foot, and has certain features that suggest he may be Spanish or from South America. Based on stories that Lippe tells the staff at Shrublands, Bond assumes he is of Portuguese blood and is probably from Macau.

Lippe first meets Bond outside of the Shrublands health farm when he pulls up in a Bentley and nearly hits Patricia Fearing who is saved by James Bond's quick reaction. Lippe is later seen by Bond arguing with a Shrublands' masseur who requests that Lippe remove his wrist-watch while receiving a massage. When Lippe reluctantly does so, Bond notices that it was being used to cover a tattoo in red that he learns was the sign of the Red Lightning Tong of Macau. Lippe overhears Bond's phone conversation in which he is informed of the symbol and later attempts to kill Bond by turning up the power on a traction table that Bond is using. After being saved by Fearing, Bond retaliates against Lippe by trapping him in a steam bath and turning up the heat. Consequently, Lippe suffers second-degree burns and is hospitalized for a week.

Lippe was actually at Shrublands on behalf of SPECTRE, a terrorist organization. Lippe, called "Sub-operator G" by Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE, was tasked to oversee Giuseppe Petacchi at the Boscombe Down Airfield where the bombing squadron was undergoing training. While Lippe's mission was semi-successful he was considered "unreliable" by Blofeld after getting into his childish clash with James Bond. As a consequence of Lippe being put into the hospital, Blofeld orders his elimination.

Because Bond knew of Lippe's connection to Macau's Red Lightning Tong, Lippe was fearful that Bond may be able to take it a step further and learn of Lippe's connection to SPECTRE. For this reason Lippe tracks Bond down and tails him in a Volkswagen unknowing that he himself is being pursued by SPECTRE agent #6. Ultimately Lippe's attempt to kill Bond once again fails and Lippe is killed when his Volkswagen is blown up.

## Trivia

* The Counts of Lippe really existed, and have descendants still living today. However, since 1806 all members of the family have had the title of Prince, not Count.

United Kingdom

**Locale** | Europe

The **United Kingdom** is an island country in Europe that is the home of James Bond. In almost all Bond books, Bond is shown in England, usually in London, at one point or another.

## Appearances

Bond also ventures to other areas outside London, such as areas in the country such as a retreat in *Thunderball* and a golf club in *Goldfinger*.

Bond is never featured in the UK in *The Spy Who Loved Me* himself, however the novels narrator protagonist Vivienne Michel describes parts of her life spent in England as a finishing school student and journalist.

Live at Five

**"Live at Five"** is a James Bond short story written By Raymond Benson. It was published in TV Guide in the 13-19 November 1999 issue, purposely to coincide and compliment the release of *The World Is Not Enough* in US theatres.

It is the shortest of all James Bond stories, even shorter than Ian Fleming's previous record-holder "007 in New York", with only a couple of thousand words.

## Plot

James Bond, en route to a date with a female TV news reporter, recalls how he once helped a Russian figure skating champion named Natalia Lustokov defect to the west in Chicago in full view of TV cameras with the help of a television news reporter, Janet Davis.

## Background

In the 2011 anthology collection of Benson's work, Choice of Weapons, Benson noted in the foreword that due to the plot dealing with a Russian defector, to make sense the story had to take place prior to 1989, before the fall of the Soviet Union. So the majority of the story was written as Bond remembering the events of that time prior to meeting the girl again in the 1990's. Interestingly the year 1985 was chosen for "Live at Five", which was a year John Gardner did not publish a Bond novel, which may or may not have been intentional.

The artwork for the story evokes the classic 1962 Signet paperback book series covers with James Bond's name running down the side of the page. Some versions included additional illustrations by Steve Chorney.
Enrico Colombo

**Enrico Colombo** is an ally of James Bond's who helps him in the fight to stop Soviet backed smugglers flooding English cities with drugs in the short story "Risico" from the *For Your Eyes Only* collection.

## History

After James Bond is sent by M to investigate a drug smuggling operation based out of northern Italy that is pumping narcotics into England. M instructs Bond to get in touch with a CIA informant, named Kristatos, who in turn tells Bond that a man called "The Dove", Enrico Colombo, is behind the racket. Colombo owns the restraint the pair were dining at and sends his mistress Lisl Baum to follow Bond and sway him to join forces with him instead.

When Bond sets out to find more information on Colombo, by way of Lisl, he is captured by Colombo's men and brought aboard his ship, the *Colombina*. While in captivity Colombo says he wants he and Bond to be "friends" and informs Bond that, in fact, Kristatos is actually the one in charge of the drug smuggling operation and that he is being backed by the Russians. On the next day, the *Colombina* arrives at Santa Maria, where men are loading another shipment. Bond, Colombo, and the crew of the Colombina attack the warehouse and discover Kristatos inside. While trying to escape, Kristatos is shot by Bond.

Colombo espouses how grateful he is to Bond for killing Kristatos telling him that in “less civilized” parts of the world it is a custom to offer one of your wives to a man you are indebted to. He then hands Bond a key which is for a room in the Albergo Danielli hotel where Lisl Baum is waiting for him.

## Behind the Scenes

The character of Colombo was based on Lucky Luciano, a Mafia Don who had infiltrated teamster and dock worker unions during World War II for the US government, preventing sabotage of Atlantic convoys.
Tiger Tanaka

**Tiger Tanaka** is the head of the Japanese Secret Service, the Koan-Chosa-Kyoku, in the novel *You Only Live Twice*. He takes his nickname from being born in the year of the tiger.

## History

### *You Only Live Twice*

Tiger studied PPE at Oxford and spied on Britain for Japan before the war. He joined the Kempeitai (the Japanese Gestapo), before resigning and bribed his way to be trained to be a kami-kaze, but never completed the mission due to the surrender of Japan. Being a believer in demokrasu, he became the head of the Japanese Secret Service during the American occupation of Japan. Tanaka is a womanizer who has nearly been married three times but was talked out of them by his Australian associate, Dikko Henderson. Tiger is stoically bitter about the influence of American culture in his country, decrying it as the price of defeat.

Introduced to James Bond by Dikko, the two negotiate for British access to the Japanese intelligence feed on the Soviet Union. In exchange for the data, Tanaka compels Bond to undertake the assassination of a foreign botanist named Doctor Shatterhand, who is later revealed to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld in disguise. Tanaka personally takes charge of Bond's training for the mission, instructing him in Japanese customs and enrolling him in a ninja training school. He then leaves Bond on an island near the castle with Ama diver, Kissy Suzuki.

After Bond completes his mission, killing Shatterhand and destroying his Garden of Death, Tiger visits the island in search of him, not knowing that he is living there with Kissy in a state of amnesia.

### *The Man with the Red Tattoo*

The character is also featured in the Raymond Benson novel *The Man with the Red Tattoo*, in which he has retired from the Japanese Secret Service but still retains authority as a director emeritus. He has also developed heart disease, and suffers a heart attack shortly before the climax of the novel, but survives.

## Background

Tanaka's physical description and personality are based on the Japanese writer Torao "Tiger" Saito, whom Fleming met in Tokyo while researching the Far East for a series of travel articles, later published as *Thrilling Cities*. Many of the descriptions of Japanese customs in *You Only Live Twice* come from Fleming's conversations with Saito.

Tiger is the last in a series of mission specific allies, who aid Bond in his adventures, such as Quarrel, Darko Kerim, Enrico Colombo and Marc-Ange Draco.
