About this listen

The life of secret agent James Bond has begun to fall into a pattern that threatens complacency…until the sunny afternoon when M is kidnapped. The action ricochets across the globe to a volcanic Greek island, where Colonel Sun Liang-tan of the People's Liberation Army of China collaborates with an ex-Nazi atrocity expert in a world-menacing conspiracy.

Stripped of all professional aids, Bond faces, unarmed, the monstrous devices of Colonel Sun in a test that brings him to the verge of his physical endurance.

this Audible has points where it repeats itself which is bizarre. the story itself is good, very strong first half with weaker second half.

This one is very slow going. Great idea but it just drags on after the beginning.

Written well, in an authentic Fleming Bond way. Just not a lot going on, perhaps more suited to a short novella instead of an outright novel. Great voice performance though and combine that with the writing style, you get great style but little substance. For hard core Bond fans only I would suggest.
