After nearly getting killed at the end of his previous job, Bond gets the "routine" assignment of checking up on bird-guano manufacturer "Dr. No" in connection with the disappearance of 2 agents in Jamaica. It turns out to be more than anyone expected, as the man's private island is like a fortress, and "No" is involved in twisted psychological and scientific experiments, the latter of which could endager the safety of the free world!
