GoldenEye - John Gardner

The Tigre is an advanced piece of flying hardware – a remarkable stealth helicopter – and it has been stolen from right under Bond’s nose. The man responsible is Janus, a powerful and ambitious Russian leader who is no longer troubled by ideology. His ambitions are money and power: his normal business methods include theft and murder. And Janus’s associates are even more dangerous than him. Once Xenia worked for the KGB. Now she is a beautiful and lethal weapon in Janus’s armoury and Bond is her target. But Janus has underestimated 007. He could just turn out to be his most determined enemy.
