Plot

The book begins with a worried telephone call between M and the British Prime Minister. M assures him that they are investigating a plot to disrupt the U.S. space program. James Bond is dispatched to Jamaica, where he is collected up by a suspicious chauffeur claiming to have been sent by the CIA. 007 leaps into the front seat and wrestles with his abductor; before leaping free of the vehicle, which subsequently plunges into the sea. Bond investigates Crab Key and is ambushed by the "Dragon" - a flame-throwing land rover. He surrenders and is knocked unconscious. He awakes in Dr. No's control room. The steel-clawed scientist reveals that he is planning on sabotaging a moon launch from Cape Canaveral using a radio beam weapon. Led away, Bond incapacitates the henchman and returns to the control room during Dr. No's attempt to topple the rocket. 007 threatens to flood the room with radiation, but outmanoeuvred by the villain. As they brawl, Bond tears panelling from a switchboard and slams Dr. No's metal hands onto the exposed wires - electrocuting him into submission. The book concludes with a relaxed phone call between M and the PM.
