Synopsis

Greed, revenge and world domination are just some of the ingredients in this James Bond adventure. After oil tycoon Sir Robert King is killed in a bombing at MI6 headquarters, his daughter, Elektra, inherits his fortune and the attentions of her father’s killer. His name is Renard. A bullet lodged in his brain has rendered him unable to feel physical pain, and he has but one reason left to live—revenge. There’s only one man who can take the heat between a beautiful heiress, a malicious sociopath and his final diabolical plan, agent 007.

An oil tycoon gets blowed up inside MI6 HQ, and James Bond is sent to protect his surviving daughter who had previously been kidnapped but escaped. A terrorist named Renard the Fox......more

Goodreads review by Dustin

Raymond Benson's The World is Not Enough novelization is only better than the movie because readers can mentally fix Denise Richards's performance.
