The eleventh James Bond book by Ian Fleming, published in 1963.After the success of Operation Thunderball, SPECTRE has more or less disbanded and the hunt is on for its leader, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, but he seems to have disappeared from the face of the Earth. Bond, contemplating about resigning from the secret service, is in France investigating possible leads. There he runs into depressed Teresa di Vincenzo, and he stops her from committing suicide. This leads to him being introduced to the crimeboss Marc-Ange Draco, her father, who asks him to help her. Bond agrees, but only he receives help for his task of locating Blofeld. This leads to a dangerous game high in the Swiss alps, where a big plan to attck England is being concocted.The novel was adapted into the sixth James Bond film. | |

Even Evil Has Standards: Marc-Ange Draco admits that he is a criminal with lots of shady businesses, but even he thinks that Blofeld is a horrible person. Blofeld has one of his guards thrown down a bobsled run and into a shed at the end at full velocity for entering a patient's room at night and "mucking her about". | |

First-Name Basis: It is a strict rule in Piz Gloria that the female allergy treatment patients are only referred to by their first names. This measure is in place so that once the girls return home, they'll be harder to locate, and they can spread the deadly virus placed on them in peace. | |

You Have Failed Me | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_474e3977 | comment |
You Have Failed Me: One of the workers in Piz Gloria dies when he slides down a mile-long bobsled track, and crashes into a hut below at terminal speeds. Bond overhears that the guy had sexually harassed one of the Blofeld's allergy treatment patients, and comes to a conclusion that this had been a typical SPECTRE execution rather than the story given, which was that he slipped while watering the run. | |

Rape as Backstory / Values Dissonance: Draco tells Bond that Tracy's mother came to Corsica looking to be raped and that Draco obliged. In an echo of Kerim Bey's backstory in From Russia with Love, she later fell in love with him. Fleming does not have Bond react let alone object to this. | |

Celebrity Paradox: Bond reads the Daily Express, which at the time had a 007 comic strip. Doubtless deliberately done by Fleming, who had previously established Bond as a reader of The Times. | |

Skeleton Key Card: Bond sneaks a strip of plastic from the Piz Gloria ski manufacturing workshop to defeat the room locks while spying at night. Part of why he gets caught and has to escape is the SPECTRE agent running the place actually has good enough inventory records and immediately counts the strips after "Sir Hilary Bray" leaves, immediately reporting the missing strip to another worker. | |

Ridiculous Future Inflation | |
| On Her Majesty's Secret Service / int_fdbb6993 | comment |
Ridiculous Future Inflation: Bond likes to think of the money in his pocket in old francs because that makes him feel richer, while counting his expenses in new francs to make them seem smaller (At the time the book was written, the franc had recently undergone a 1000:1 devaluation). | |

Shown Their Work: Since part of the reason he was writing the book was to give Bond a Scottish ancestry (due to being so impressed by Connery's performance in Dr. No), Fleming researched genealogy himself. He determined that the motto of the real-world Bond family is "Non Sufficit Orbis" ("The world is not enough" or "The world does not suffice"), and incorporated it into his book (and, hence, the movie—and, hence, The World Is Not Enough). | |
