Publisher's summary

"Take care 007. Take special care. The continent's a hotbed of villainy these days and you can never be too careful."

Bond was supposed to be on leave. But SPECTRE leader Tamil Rahani, dying from injuries suffered at Bond's hand, is determined to make it the holiday to die for. With a price on his head, Bond must evade the world's greatest assassins in a ruthless game of cat-and-mouse across Europe, while trying to save the lives of the two women who matter to him most, his housekeeper May and Miss Moneypenny. But Bond has been a target before. And when it comes to staying alive, nobody does it better than 007.

A great read

Very well written storyline with it's expected and unexpected twists. Unlike the original Ian flemming writings this writer paints Bond as a bit more like the movies as a male chauvinist.

A road trip Mr Bond?

With a death warrant on his head, Bond must traverse Italy, Switzerland, and Austria by car with two female companions, one a Princes, the other her bodyguard, while being chased by eager murderers. Then flying across to Miami and Key West, followed still. The chase all a mission by teams and individuals to kill Bond and to serve his severed head to the head of SPECTRE. This is a immensely entertaining story of double cross, Bond being saved from near death, interesting characters and bad guys, and human greed, self-interest, and willingness to act to extremes. Gardner weaves a tightly drawn plot with economic writing. As to the Audible, if one desires to listen while reading the Kindle, beware that they do not correspond.
