Media Reviews
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. * Scotsman *
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. * Daily Express *
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. * The Times *
An enjoyably compact thriller, with an absolutely killer last line. * Guardian *
A timeless Bond... has all the elements of a rollicking read. * Irish Examiner *
