Bond is back. With a vengeance. `There's something I need your help with. The details are a little hazy at the moment, but I sense that it's going to be something big. Very big indeed. Have you heard of Dr Julius Gorner?' It's a name that will become seared into James Bond's consciousness. The name of a man who knows no master but his own power-crazed ego, whose wealth is exceeded only by his greed and who will stop at nothing until he has destroyed the very heart of Great Britain. A savage execution in the desolate outskirts of Paris sets in motion a chain of events designed to lead only to global catastrophe, as a tide of lethal narcotics threatens to engulf Sixties Britain, a British airliner goes missing over Iraq and the thunder of coming war echoes round the Middle East... Bond finds a willing accomplice in the shape of a glamorous Parisian called Scarlett Papava. He will need all her help in a life-and-death struggle with his most dangerous adversary yet - a man who would dance with the Devil himself. Unabridged. Read by Jeremy Northam.

Sebastian Faulks did an amazing job of emulating Ian Fleming's style and voice, emphasizing all the right elements and handing us a credible extension of the Fleming oevre. It's a fun read and just unpredictable enough to not be too rote. As someone who read all the Bond books in my youth, this was a fun and satisfying read.
