British Secret Service agent James Bond (also known as Agent 007) is sent to France to play in a high-stakes baccarat game in an effort to take down Le Chiffre, a financier for the villainous SMERSH (Death to Spies). Things get more complicated when he is partnered with Vesper Lynd, a beautiful and smart MI6 employee with a dark secret . . .
Casino Royale is the first novel to star James Bond, one of the most iconic characters in twentieth-century literature. In addition to the twelve novels and nine short stories written by Ian Fleming, there have been multiple novels and short stories written about the spy by other authors, and more than twenty-five blockbuster films.
