Description

James Bond as you've never sen him before...in the smashing new thriller and #1 international bestseller from Jeffrey Deaver.

A Night Action alert calls James Bond away from dinner with a beautiful woman. Headquarters has decrypted an electronic whisper—plans for a devastating attack:

Casualties estimated in the thousands, British interests adversely affected.

James Bond, in his early thirties and already a veteran of the Afghan War, has been recruited to a new organization. Conceived in the post-9/11 world, it operates independent of MI5, MI6, and the Ministry of Defense, its very existence deniable. Its aim: to protect the Realm, by any means necessary.

And Agent 007 has been given carte blanche to do whatever it takes to fulfill his mission...

    Deaver never fails to deliver. Very true to a Bond story although I’ve never read Fleming. Great & very interesting characters.

  • Not Ian Fleming but his equal at best!

    The last 1/8 of the book was quite predictable, the first 7/8 brought back memories of early Bond.

  • This is not Bond!

    Pretty much all the history of James Bond is thrown in the trash can by the author. The author is reimagining James Bond from scratch. Why the Fleming estate permitted this book to be published as part of the James Bond series is beyond me. Most people who have read the Fleming/Gardner/Benson/Amis/Faulk novels will tell you they hate this novel and is not James Bond. There is a reason why Deaver only wrote one Bond novel. And it is not because what he wrote was great.

  • Jeffrey can do much better

    Far too much digression to wines, food and bling as oppose to the plot. Audiences are more attune to the dynamics and strength of the story and characters nowadays than the name dropping cliches of 50 years ago

  • I've read worsen

    The Bond nuances of his preferred drink and his Omega watch were changed which was a bummer to a fan. He did however have the E type jaguar and the Walter PPK S which were good enough for me. Really enjoyed this book and will certainly read more Bond books from Deaver!!
