The super spy is back, with a fresh injection from novelist and
screenwriter extraordinaire, Anthony Horowitz. The expert in
suspense takes us back to the beginning of James Bond’s story… the
story rips along with plenty of familiar Bond staples: evil
villains, fast cars and women falling for young Bond’s charms. Ian
Fleming would be proud.
*Guardian*
Horowitz is a worthy successor to Ian Fleming, putting 007 back in
his true domain… This New Bond is up there with the better Old
Bonds… The denouement is a very fine piece of action writing…
Horowitz has done splendidly.
*Scotsman*
Straight away Horowitz is able to capture Fleming’s flowing style
and intricate details from how Bond likes his eggs in the morning
to the cars he drives... He’s just as faithfully suave as in the
original novels.
*Daily Express*
A novel that feels very like a film… fast-paced, skilfully written…
leaves you wanting more, and for serious Bond junkies [it] is the
next fix in a long tale of addiction.
*The Times*
Even better than Trigger Mortis… it is tremendous fun. Anthony
Horowitz has the discipline and skill of a first-class action
writer.
