World Without Want

Mark Hazard is BACK! And he's reclaiming his name!World Without Want is, unabashedly, a James Bond novel-in-disguise. In Ian Fleming's twelfth and final novel, James Bond co-opted the name, Mark Hazard, as an alias. In this novel, Hazard reclaims his name and picks up where he left off in that preceding story. A secret agent for the British Secret Service and a member of its Zero-Zero Department, Hazard is now assigned a new number-008-and is Licenced to Liquidate. His superior officer, EM(Executive Minister)sends him out on the most dangerous and deadly assignment of his career: to directly confront the terroristic Islamic State network! After an American-launched Tomahawk cruise missile, targeting suspected terrorist sites in Syria, is mysteriously diverted and re-routed to destroy a naval command center in Turkey, certain clues lead the West to believe that a terroristic organization has acquired the capability to turn their own missiles against it by resorting to a highly sophisticated, high-tech homing device apparatus. Hazard is dispatched first to war-torn Syria to track down the source of his only lead: a seductive Trinidadian courtesan spirited on-site by a high-level naval commander just before the base command center was destroyed. In Raqqa, Syria, Hazard gets abducted by female members of the notorious Khansa Brigade, interrogated by an Islamist militant at a ruined castle, and nearly drowned at Tabqa Dam. Hazard's hazardous investigation takes him next to Romania, where he discovers an even more shocking secret: a bevy of beautiful Brides of the Islamic State, who are being recruited to act as live homing devices for deliberately deflected enemy missiles-taking the horrific concept of suicide bombing to a new and more lethal level. Even more shocking than the inventor of this innovative new threat, discovered in Sweden, is the startling revelation of its unpredictable sponsor-with whom Hazard has his most climactic and chilling confrontation. True to Bond creator, Ian Fleming's original style and spirit, this is no artificially-contrived, hyper-pretentious, revisionist novel. Translation: it's wholly without any politically correct RUBBISH! Replacing the rubbish is real Bond-ian drama! It is, without doubt, a Bond-like adventure like no other-unlike any you've ever read; or likely ever will read. In honor of the 60th anniversary of the cinematic James Bond film franchise, this unforgettable thriller pays special tribute-first and foremost-to the incomparable life and legacy of James Bond creator, Ian Lancaster Fleming!
