Carte
Blanche updates James Bond's backstory to fit with the 21st
century setting, making it the first ever reboot of the literary James Bond
series. Jeffery Deaver has stated that his James Bond will have been born in
1979, making him a veteran of the war in Afghanistan (Operation Herrick)
instead of a World War II veteran and Cold War secret agent as originally
conceived by creator Ian Fleming.

takes place over the course of a week. James Bond is a former Royal Naval
Reserve officer who has recently joined the Overseas Development Group - a
covert operational unit of British security under the control of the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office tasked "to identify and eliminate threats to the country
by extraordinary means." Bond is employed within the 00 Section of the
Operations Branch.He starts his assignment on the outskirts of Novi Sad in Serbia where an Irish sapper-turned-enforcer named Niall Dunne is planning to derail a train carrying three hundred kilograms of methyl isocyanate, dumping it into the Danube.
