About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

M's funeral.

One man missing from the graveside.

The traitor accused of his murder.

Bond.

Behind the Iron Curtain, a group of former Smersh agents want to use the British spy in an operation that will change the balance of world power. Bond is smuggled into the lion's den—but whose orders is he following, and will he obey them when the moment of truth arrives?

In a mission where treachery is all around and one false move means death, James Bond must grapple with the darkest questions about himself. But not even he knows what has happened to the man he used to be.

Discover the latest chapter in the world of 007, brought thrillingly to life by Sunday Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz.

Really enjoyed Rory Kinnear’s narration. Not the best Bond tale but Anthony Horowitz writes a great page turner and is very true to the Fleming mould. A very believable Bond and a good addition to the collection.

Very much Bond

The storyline was good, the performance wasnt as exciting as you would expect in a 007 story. Good read, not exceptional, narrator was lacklustre.

Racy, but lacking the real killer punch.

I accidentally purchased this because I love Horowitz's books, not realising it was James Bond, whom I hadn't read before and was sure I wouldn't like. I did really enjoy it! My only issue with the story was when Bond got a woman he hated drunk, and then aggressively had sex with her, it was very rapey and hard to listen to without utter disgust and hatred towards James Bond, so was hard to rally for him after that.

Accidentally bought , nice surprise

Every written word held true to the character that is James Bond. Cannot wait for the next.

Great Bond Read.

In my opinion it is the least impressive of Horowitz’s 3 Bond books, lacking in terms of the story. Nonetheless still really enjoyed it.

Not his best but still enjoyed
