About the book: year / Diamonds are forever. The British government is investigating large-scale thefts of diamonds from mines located in the British colonies. The chain of smuggling begins in Sierra Leone, then the diamonds end up in London (“... the stones are possibly transported through Liberia, or maybe through French Guinea. They end up in France. And since the package ended up in London, it can be assumed that London is also part of the network") and then go overseas to the USA. American gangsters are running it all. Since we are talking about work outside the UK, MI6 is involved in the investigation. Considering the complexity of the task, M bets on 007. James Bond must, under the guise of a courier, go to the end of the diamond smuggling chain. From Russia with love. Based on the new foreign policy doctrine of the Soviet Union, the Union became less aggressive and more open to dialogue, but this is only the visible side. The head of SMERSH, General Grubozabishchikov, instructs his best specialists Kronstein and Rosa Klebb to develop an intimidation operation, according to which the best British agent James Bond should be discredited and then destroyed. The role of bait should be KGB sergeant Tatyana Romanova... Doctor No. MI6 resident Major Strangeways and his secretary were killed in Jamaica. However, the murder is arranged in such a way that everyone believes that this couple decided to simply disappear. To investigate this seemingly insignificant case, M decides to send James Bond, who miraculously survived a collision with SMERSH. It is assumed that 007 is almost going to a resort. In addition, the case that the Jamaican station has been involved in recently seems almost ridiculous for intelligence - the reduction of the colony of pink flamingos on the island of Crab Key. But it is this trail that will lead Bond to another threat to British (and not only) security.
