Summary
“Sounds like astrology for maths majors.”
“Maths doctorates,” says Q, which is an interesting revelation, if only to imagine him in a classroom with a stick of chalk and a blackboard, tracing some A Beautiful Mind-style formulae for a crowd of perplexed undergrads. Perhaps these days it’s all on screens, though. “Obviously, the idea of prophecy via hidden numerical interpretation is bunk. But there are some extremely interesting ancient applications in the works of Greek philosophers, and even some early Bible scholars.”
In the darkness Bond closes his eyes, and considers the preferable option: silence, or Q’s esoteric dissertation.
“Tell me more,” he says.

Summary
In a world where Sentinels are humanity’s genetically heightened protectors and Guides are the empaths who balance them, James Bond, 007, stands as the Alpha Sentinel of London, powerful, disciplined, and dangerously unanchored after years without a bond. His perfect counterbalance has been beside him all along: Q, the brilliant but reclusive Quartermaster, whose sarcasm conceals his true nature as Edmund Montgomery, a Neural Architect-class Guide capable of harmonizing an entire city’s psionic network.
Years ago, Edmund survived a forced-bond attempt by Raoul Silva, a rogue Sentinel serving SPECTRE, leaving him scarred and in hiding. When Silva resurfaces to hunt the mysterious “London Guide,” Bond and Q are thrust into an alliance that tests every boundary of loyalty and control. Together, they must face Silva, stop a psionic war that threatens to consume the city, and confront what it truly means to trust.
