Largo is stuck on a boat with Silky. But this isn't the end of a James Bond story: the vessel's a container ship that belongs to Winch's enemy, a Georgian arms dealer who seems to be behind all the billionaire's current problems. And the crew are armed and trigger-happy… Not entirely surprising, since this time the plot is not just about money – it's also very personal! Poor Largo; things were so much simpler before he stopped being an orphan…
