James Bond is back

Nowadays one does not read James Bond's stories for the thrill of the plot. It is rather an exercise of immersion in what used to be adventure and mystery in the 60s . Horowitz does an excellent job to keep up with Ian Fleming's standards : sharp writing style, interesting and engaging (no matter if not always realistic) characters and a pleasant old fashion atmosfere full of charm and wit.
The plot moves fast and Matthew Goode is as good as it gets.
Very, very pleasant reading !!!

Anthony Horowitz is a great author

Anthony Horowitz is a great author and in this instance his efforts are complimented my narrator Matthew Goode. He writes in genuine Ian Flemming style and has produced a very enjoyable audio exxperience. I hope he does some more of Ian Flemming's books.

A finely taut prequel to Trigger Mortis

I read Horowitz's other James Bond Novel a few years ago and it was really well paced and exciting. This 007 adventure is pretty damn excellent too.

Goode's magic goes beyond screen

Narration by Goode is superbly engaging, the accents and voices, very entertaining. Looking forward to the next one?

Great story. Great narration with various characters being believable from one narrator.

Enjoyable to buy into James Bond as a real character with emotions and thoughts that cannot be conveyed easily in any of the movies.
