James Bond is assigned to aid the defection of a KGB officer, General Georgi Koskov, covering his escape from a concert hall in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia during intermission. Disobeying his orders to kill the sniper, he instead shoots the rifle from her hands with a Walther WA 2000, then uses the Trans-Siberian Pipeline to smuggle Koskov across the border into Austria and then on to Britain.
