Incorporating original, never-before-published material from 007 creator Ian Fleming, New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz returns literary legend James Bond to his 1950s heyday in this exhilarating and dashing thriller.

The world's most famous spy, James Bond, has just returned victorious from his showdown with Auric Goldfinger in Fort Knox. By his side is the glamorous and streetwise Pussy Galore, who played no small part in his success. As they settle down in London, the odds of Galore taming the debonair bachelor seem slimâ??but she herself is a creature not so easily caught.

Meanwhile, the struggle for superiority between the Soviet Union and the West is escalating. In an attempt to demonstrate Soviet strength, SMERSH plans to sabotage an international Grand Prix in the hot zone of West Germany. At the Nürburgring Racing Circuit, Bond must play a high-speed game of cat and mouse to stop them, but when he observes a secretive meeting between SMERSH's driver and a notorious Korean millionaire, it becomes clear that this is just the infamous organization's opening move.

An orphan of the Korean War, he has a personal reason for wanting to bring America to its knees. He's helping SMERSH decisively end the white-hot space raceâ??but how? With the help of an American female agent, Bond uncovers a plan that leads first to Florida and then to New York City, where a heart-stopping face-off will determine the fate of the West.

This thriller has all the hallmarks of an original Ian Fleming adventure and features welcome familiar faces, including M and Miss Moneypenny. Horowitz delivers a smooth and seductive narrative of fast cars and beautiful women, ruthless villains and breathtaking plot that will leave readers hanging until the very e… (mehr)

Picked this up from a Little Free Library, not because I'm a huge Bond fan, but more of an Anthony Horowitz fan. I've really enjoyed his other books and styles (and his TV shows) so wanted to see what this was like. Again, not being much of a Bond fan (I've only ever seen a few of the movies and haven't read any Ian Fleming); having said that, this reads like a Bond movie. Mr Horowitz does seem to get the style down. This probably is fairly similar in style to what Mr. Fleming would do, though probably a little less misogyny. It was a good read, but probably not going to go out of my way to read more of this series. Back to the Little Free Library this goes. ( )

Newly written but for a Bond of an earlier time. Resurrecting old characters. A good story. Something you would read after Goldfinger. ( )

I think Ian Fleming's estate chose Anthony Horowitz wisely to entrust with some story fragments, perhaps meant for another book or omitted from the final version of Goldfinger. This James Bond story, starts with James together with Pussy Galore, who has escaped to London with him. True to the lifestyle Bond leads, he is selected to save a British car racer from a Russian (SMERSH) sanction by entering into a very challenging professional race. He is quickly embroiled in a case involving the death of a German-born scientist working on the American space effort, and competing with an American woman to understand the involvement of a Korean businessman (nicknamed Jason Sin) in the plots. I like his two other series (Alex Rider, which is great boy early teen reading and the Gatekeeper) better than this, in part because I found the Bond character inconsistent, perhaps because Horowitz has a different vision then Fleming.

I liked the inclusion of the original Ian Fleming work. That was a nice touch. Glad the estate is still seeking to give us more Bond, James Bond!!! ( )
