In 1959, Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, was commissioned by the Sunday Times to explore 14 of the world’s most exotic cities. Fleming saw it all with a thriller writer’s eye. From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world.

Simon rocks as always, Gardner’s worse Bond book
This is Gardner’s weakest work. Decent ear filler, but this and Scorpious are his weaker works. As I’m working my way through the Bond books I couldn’t skip it (didn’t know to, anyways)so I would tell you NOT to skip it if you just want to listen to them all. If you are a pick and chooser... well then skip it.
