Plot:

“The face of war is changing. The other side doesn't play by the rules much anymore.  There’s thinking, in some circles, that we need to play by a different set of rules too…”

James Bond, in his early thirties and already a veteran of the Afghan war, has been recruited to a new organization.  Conceived in the post-9/11 world, it operates independent of MI5, MI6 and the Ministry of Defense, its very existence deniable.  Its aim: To protect the Realm, by any means necessary.

A Night Action alert calls James Bond away from dinner with a beautiful woman.  Headquarters has decrypted an electronic whisper about an attack scheduled for later in the week: Casualties estimated in the thousands, British interests adversely affected.  And Agent 007 has been given carte blanche to do whatever it takes to fulfill his mission.
