Publisher's summary

M thinks he has an easy case for 007. Exactly what’s needed after his latest near-fatal encounter with SMERSH. However, arriving in Jamaica to look for a missing agent and his secretary, Bond learns that the reclusive Dr Julius No could be connected with their disappearance. When Bond and the exotic Honeychile Rider are imprisoned on Dr No’s private island, they realise that his plans could threaten international security.

Includes an exclusive bonus interview with Hugh Quarshie.

Ian Fleming was born in London in 1908. He was educated at Eton and worked as a journalist in Moscow and a banker and stockbroker in London before becoming personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. He wrote his first Bond novel, Casino Royale, in 1952 at Goldeneye, his home in Jamaica. Since then James Bond has gone on to become a global phenomenon.

Hugh Quarshie has a long and distinguished television career that encompasses Doctor Who, Holby City, Small Island and White Heat and the award-winning The Murder of Stephen Lawrence. He has also appeared in the films Ghosted, Highlander, To Walk with Lions and Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. His theatre credits include leading roles at the National Theatre, RSC and Manchester Royal Exchange.

"Masterful, beautifully written." (Raymond Chandler)
"Magnificent writing." ( Time)

Seems like giving stars without writting a review is not saved as an opinion

Audible's app is getting worst daily. Constant changes that make it worst, and worst.

Good book!

Quite a " page turner".
Fine performance from High Quashie.
Bond character is quite different from his movie version.

Hugh Quarshie shines

Although this is not my favourite of Fleming’s books, that belongs to Moonraker, I thoroughly enjoyed this both thanks to the interesting villain of Dr No, and the superb reading of Hugh Quarshie. I love how descriptive and colourful this book is, and I think literary Honey is far more developed than movie Honey. I highly recommend this one.

Flabbergasting adventure

The James Bond series leaps into action with Dr. NO....thanks to this fantastic audiobook I've learned that the surname NO derives from the confrontation and hate of the villan respect his own father. Marvelous audiobook pack with first rate action
