Plot:

Bond is recruited into a dangerous mission involving an equally dangerous and treacherous alliance of agents from the United States (CIA), the Soviet Union (KGB) and Israel (Mossad). The team, dubbed "Icebreaker", waste no time double-crossing each other. Their job is to root out the leader of the murderous National Socialist Action Army (NSAA), Count Konrad von Glöda. The count used to be known as Arne Tudeer, a one-time Nazi SS officer who now perceives himself as the new Adolf Hitler. The NSAA is a new wave of fascism as a means to wipe out communist leaders and supporters around the world.


The novel is full of double-crosses and triple-crosses where the agents and their agencies go without sharing their true loyalties with one another.
