‘Surround yourself with human beings, my dear James. They are easier to fight for than principles'

In Casino Royale, the first of Fleming's 007 adventures, a single game of cards is James Bond's only chance to bring down the criminal network of desperate SMERSH agent Le Chiffre. But Bond soon discovers that there is far more at stake than money.
