Premise: When a respected oil baron is murdered, British secret agent James Bond sets out to find the killer and unravel a psychotic Russian's quest for--what else--world domination. [WARNING: Plot points may be revealed at any time.] In The World Is Not Enough, it seems a former KGB agent named Renard had, years ago, kidnapped the dead tycoon's teenage daughter, Elektra. The girl escaped after her father was advised not to pay the ransom. Bitterness and a sick attraction to her captor leads Elektra to partner with Renard, orchestrate the death of her father and set out to destroy competitors' pipelines, thus giving King's oil company a monopoly. Bond enlists the help of Valentin Zukovsky (a sometimes-friendly casino owner) and Dr. Christmas Jones (a shapely nuclear physicist). His journey takes him to London, Scotland, Azerbaijan, Istanbul, Spain and the Caspian Sea. Of course, the implausible action requires that 007 exploit his "license to kill" and have sex with several beautiful women unable to resist his charms.
