Octopussy and The Living Daylights

A James Bond Adventure

By: Ian Fleming

Narrated by: Ben Willbond

FOUR TALES OF INTRIGUE THAT PUSH 007 TO THE LIMIT. READ BY ACTOR BEN WILLBOND.

In “Octopussy,” a former operative in the Second World War must face the consequences of past sins when James Bond knocks on the door of his Caribbean fortress, and in “The Property of a Lady” Bond deciphers the elaborate codes of a Sotheby’s bidding war in order to catch a KGB agent. “007 in New York” takes Bond to the titular city to warn an ex-agent of her boyfriend’s secret KGB affiliation. And “The Living Daylights” sends Bond to Berlin to protect a British agent before an assassin strikes.

Overlooked Gems Excellently Narrated

After listening to all the Fleming audio books for years, I can say that this collection, with this narration, surpasses all but a few. Most Fleming's short stories grow better with time, and these lack annoying characters that even the best narrator can't fix.

Fleming’s crisp style of writing

This is a great set of vignettes by the original author of the series. Nice character and building
