...only recently met this exiled Afghan prince, Bond knew the type all too well. On twelve, no, 13 previous assignments for Her Majesty's Cinema Service, he had clenched his wits against some of the modern world's most notorious dastards. Imposing men they were-Drax, Blofeld, mad and wily Auric Goldfinger. Somehow this Kamal, this jet-set smuggler, seemed less than they, less than a man, shrunken into his dreary sins, human villainy reduced to venality. He looked wary and frail, like an extinct bird on a porcelain vase. He would hardly be worth killing horribly...

Everyone knows that James Bond is invincible. The world's vilest villains-Goldfinger, Dr. No, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Hugo Drax, Rosa Klebb, Scaramanga and the 7-ft. truncheon known only as Jaws-rarely so much as wrinkled the crease in Bond's Savile Row trousers. Next summer, though, the pride of Her Majesty's Secret Service will have some worthy competition: himself. In a schizophrenically satisfying conflict, the 14th and 15th episodes of the most popular series in movie history will be set for a showdown of two big stars. One film, Octopussy, stars Roger Moore, assaying...

...utes, readers looking for truth will see the put-on. But true Bondsmen will rejoice at any flimsy excuse to see their man in action again. Bond is last seen heading for Australia on the trackdown of an old antagonist, Irma Bunt, the late Ernst Stavro Blofeld's baleful dumpling from On Her Majesty's Secret Service...

Bond is on the trail of that arch-meanie, Ernst Stavros Blofeld (Charles Gray), and a ring of high-placed diamond smugglers who operate in Las Vegas. Somehow mixed up in all this are an eccentric millionaire recluse (hello there, Howard Hughes), a wizened stand-up comic, a crooked mortician, a couple of campy killers named Wint and Kidd, and two bikinied bodyguards who call themselves Bambi and Thumper. They strike a gymnastic blow for Women's Lib by effortlessly bouncing Bond, the sexist pig, off the four walls of a luxurious desert hideaway...
