*THE NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
James Bond is back in this explosive cinematic thriller.
A spy is dead.
The super spy is back, with a fresh injection from novelist and screenwriter extraordinaire, Anthony Horowitz. The
expert in suspense takes us back to the beginning of James Bond’s story…
the story rips along with plenty of familiar Bond staples: evil villains, fast cars and women falling for young Bond’s charms.
Ian Fleming would be proud.
Horowitz is
a worthy successor to Ian Fleming, putting 007 back in his true domain… This New Bond is
up there with the better Old Bonds… The denouement is
a very fine piece of action writing… Horowitz has done
splendidly.
Straight away Horowitz is able to capture Fleming’s flowing style and intricate details from how Bond likes his eggs in the morning to the cars he drives... He’s
just as faithfully suave as in the original novels.
A novel that
feels very like a film…
fast-paced, skilfully written…
leaves you wanting more, and for serious Bond junkies [it] is the next fix in a long tale of addiction.
Even better than Trigger Mortis… it is
tremendous fun. Anthony Horowitz has the discipline and skill of
a first-class action writer.Bestselling author Anthony Horowitz has written two highly acclaimed Sherlock Holmes novels, The House of Silk and Moriarty; three James Bond novels, Trigger Mortis, Forever and a Day and With a Mind to Kill; the acclaimed bestselling mystery novels Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders and the Detective Hawthorne novels, The Word is Murder, The Sentence is Death, A Line To Kill, The Twist of a Knife and the latest Close to Death is out in April 2024. He is also the author of the teen spy Alex Rider series, and responsible for creating and writing some of the UK's most loved and successful TV series, including Midsomer Murders and Foyle's War. In January 2022 he was awarded a CBE for his services to literature.
