    About this ebook

    On holiday in Victoria, British Columbia, Bond becomes intrigued by Lee Fu-Chu, a half-Blackfoot, half-Chinese philanthropist who is known as ‘Brokenclaw’ because of a deformed hand.

    On his return to the UK, Bond is tasked to investigate the kidnapping of several scientists who have been working on a new submarine detection system. It becomes clear that Brokenclaw is behind the kidnapping and worse, he has a devastating plan to cause economic meltdown through the collapse of the dollar. Bond has no choice but to enter his lair . . .

    Brokenclaw is the tenth novel in John Gardner’s thrilling James Bond series.
