The story was incomprehensible because it was a companion piece for the movie, which by the way marked the decline in Bond movies.
Bond movies started sucking when they started getting away from what made a Bond movie a Bond movie. Old Bond formula (tried and true) James, here is the threat. This is your mission. Go! New Bond Formula (eh...w/e) James, uh..you can't trust who you are working for, time to take things into your own hands. Watchout. Rogue double Agents. You aren't a 00 agent anymore. Even though it's a staple of your character to escape ingenious death traps, you managed to get caught and detained in a N Korean wicker basket for six months. Let's start giving more focus to lead female characters. Let's get away from Ian Flemming's old fashioned way of thinking. Go!
I loved the grenade launchers though. And the sound clip for the rockets firing will stay with me until I'm well into my grave.
