JAMES BOND PLAYS A DEADLY GAME OF CHANCE IN IAN FLEMING’S LEGENDARY FIRST 007 NOVEL
“Le Chiffre” is a ruthless operative and the accountant for a soviet SMERSH cell in France, but he’s on the verge of disaster after gambling away his client’s money. Taking the last of his stash, he lures a dozen wealthy players to a high-stakes baccarat game, hoping to hustle his way whole.
The British Secret Service would like to see this red thorn plucked from the hide of Europe, and sends their best card sharp, James Bond, to bankrupt Le Chiffre for good.
With the cards running against him and SMERSH operatives threatening to kill him and his beautiful ally, Vesper Lynd, 007 needs his luck to turn before he wagers away their lives.

I have watched all of the various television and film interpretations of the #jamesbond series and, while the #danielcraig reboot was closest to the novel, the book really stands up as a post-war tableau. Having served in World War II in Military Intelligence developing expertise in gambling working for the British Secret Service working with their the French counterparts, Deuxieme Bureau shutting down a gang of Romanian casino cheats in Monte Carlo. This unique skill set for the post War British assassin, denoted in the Double O designation which he cynically dismisses as a dubious distinction for someone willing to kill someone in cold blood, finds him being assigned by MI6 to play the part of a wealthy Jamaican merchant with a gambling penchant in order to destroy a Russian operative with a gambling habit spent fed by Soviet funds at the tables of a fading seaside French Casino.
For the assignment he is partnered and supported by French cohort Rene Mathis, CIA operative Felix Leiter and MI6 agent Vesper Lynd. The outcome of the game, the sexual encounters, the torture and violence are well presented in the Craig version however, in the novel, the story station the Northern French Coast with Bond's smoldering and murderous resolve.
The great advantage of this recently produced #audible was the excellent read by #richardarmitage was well paced save a few narration glitches such as "colt point four five" but that is easily forgiven. Te Fleming Family Estate really should consider a period based series that are rigidly based on the novels. It would be amazing to loyal fans and a new generation of streaming binge watchers.
Best served chilled in a Cold War context

The only t thing I don't like about this book is the torture, I can't believe this was written 71 years ago. It makes still cringe today.
A great story that started it all.
