Fresh from Afghanistan, James Bond has been recruited to a new agency. Conceived in the post-9/11 world, it operates independent of Five, Six and the MoD, its very existence deniable. Its aim: to protect the Realm, by any means necessary. The Night Action alert calls Bond from dinner with a beautiful woman. GCHQ has decrypted an electronic whisper about an attack scheduled for later in the week: casualties estimated in the thousands, British interests adversely affected.

Fast forwarded, a modern Bond
Revisado: 11-10-23
noticed some listeners didn't think this was in tune with Ian Fleming's Bond. if Bond (who is in reality a World War II timeframe hero) lived in the timeframe of the book I think it was perfectly well done and did the character justice for modern times. Truth is this IS of course a 'different' Bond and that's ok to suspend belief in a fictional story. Truth also is this was a good book, and the character showed depth and even a little sluth like deduction we don't usually see. He was still guns blazing when he had to be but didn't seem to get tricked or falling into elaborate traps as fast as he used to back in the day, even comes up with a few of his own. The performance of the voice actor was good but was a tad slow. I recommend setting the speed slightly higher than 1 if you agree so it does not take away from the story. Enjoy...

The Cold War is over. After two British agents die under mysterious and strangely old-fashioned circumstances in Germany, Bond is paired up with beautiful CIA agent "Easy" St. John. He's been assigned to track down the surviving members of "Cabal," a Cold War-era intelligence network that received a mysterious and unauthorized signal to disband.

This Bond adventure just not very good
Revisado: 09-02-22
Too much death. Not very fun or exciting just people dying in stupid ways. Bond makes a million mistakes. The villain is supposed to be 'worst ever' yet again, but is painted as a cartoon character, and seems to have henchman appearing from out of nowhere. Even a helicopter gunship just appears ta-da for no reason.

The life of secret agent James Bond has begun to fall into a pattern that threatens complacency…until the sunny afternoon when M is kidnapped. The action ricochets across the globe to a volcanic Greek island, where Colonel Sun Liang-tan of the People's Liberation Army of China collaborates with an ex-Nazi atrocity expert in a world-menacing conspiracy. Stripped of all professional aids, Bond faces, unarmed, the monstrous devices of Colonel Sun....

In his Alpine base, Blofeld is developing biological weapons that will devastate Britain. Unaware of the danger, James Bond is about to marry Teresa di Vicenzo, the daughter of a Corsican Mafioso. But then he is sent to Switzerland. Bond's marriage and Blofeld's schemes disintegrate in a blizzard of gunfire and high-explosives from which neither man emerges the victor.

Skip it
Revisado: 03-17-22
The story was fine okay, but mostly boring and had the worst finish of any bond book in history - don't bother, skip it.
