Suggested by jeanpaulvalley
Set two years after "Why Women Kills?". While Bond was planning to take a vacation, a very ambitious terrorist attack takes place at MI6 headquarters, killing M! Very angry, and ashamed of not knowing how to prevent this, James disobeys the orders of his new superiors and goes to question Blomfeld, in prison since the end of "Legend Ressurection". He learns that the person responsible for this attack is a former brother-in-arms, one of his mentors whom he considered a big brother, Gordon Thompson, whom M had sent into disgrace after serious crimes committed in the Middle East. Understanding that this is all very personal, James decides to find Thompson and do what it takes, even if it means stopping the new "M" from getting his hands on him first... and possibly losing his license to kill !
