Editing Colonel Sun (section)

==Plot==
Kidnappers violently take the [[MI6|Secret Service]] chief [[M (James Bond)|M]] from his house and almost capture [[James Bond (literary character)|James Bond]], who is visiting his superior. Intent on rescuing him, Bond follows the clues to Vrakonisi, one of the [[Aegean Islands]]. In the process, he discovers the complex military-political plans of Colonel Sun of the Chinese [[People's Liberation Army]]. Sun had been sent to sabotage a Middle East [[détente]] conference which the [[Soviet Union]] is hosting. He intends to attack the conference venue and use M and Bond's bodies to blame Britain for the disaster, leading to a world war. Bond meets Soviet agents in Athens, led by Major Piotr Gordienko, and they realise that not only is a third country behind the kidnap, but that there is a traitor in Gordienko's organisation. An attack on the Soviet headquarters kills all the agents except Ariadne Alexandrou, a Greek Communist. As Gordienko is dying he encourages Bond and Ariadne to work together to prevent an international incident.

Ariadne persuades Niko Litsas, a former Second World War [[Greek resistance|resistance fighter]] and friend of her late father, to help them by telling him about the involvement in the plot of a former [[Nazi]] war criminal, Von Richter. Trying to find M and Colonel Sun, Bond is nearly captured by the Russians, but is saved by Litsas. Finally, Bond finds Sun's headquarters, but is knocked out by one of Sun's men; Bond learns that Von Richter will use a mortar to destroy the conference venue and that Bond will be tortured by Sun, before his inevitable demise. Sun tortures him brutally, until one of the girls at the house is ordered by Sun to caress Bond. In the process she cuts one of Bond's hands free and provides him with a knife. She tells Sun that Bond is dead: when examined Bond stabs Sun. He then frees other captives who help Bond stop Von Richter. Sun, however, survives the stab wound and kills several of the other escapees; Bond tracks down Sun and kills him. The Soviets thank Bond for saving their conference, offering him the [[Order of the Red Banner]] for his work, which he politely declines.
