    About this audiobook

    James Bond is back in action, with the stunning Flicka von Grusse at his side and his license to kill renewed once more. His target is Sir Maxwell Tarn: a businessman whose legitimate empire spans the globe, whose wealth is uncountable, who also deals in illegal weapons on a breathtaking scale.

    But even Bond is unprepared for the speed of events, as a sting operation in a Cambridge hotel leads rapidly to an assassination in Spain, a fugitive in Israel, and neo-Nazi plotters in Germany.

    Bond finally catches up with Tarn in Puerto Rico where his prey becomes his captor. Can he escape in time to stop Tarn?

      The author writes a good James Bond story and this is one of the best. Ian Fleming must be smiling down on him. We know Bond's lifestyle and this book will point out his vanity, letting us see that he is far from perfect.This book is written as the last of the Bond series and it was a good endeavor. We are told his weak points, his strong points, that he does not have a heart of stone and can shed tears. Although there are other Bond stories, they will not move his life and career further on.

      I expected a lot more from Gardener. His early Bond books were very good. Bond with a love interest was painful to read, Bond's conversations with her were more Roger Moore than Sean Connery. The villain was terrible. Apparently he sees himself as the new Hitler. That's proven with one quick rally in Germany, then it's off to Puerto Rico to take over the world somehow with a new device that's supposed to clean oil spills????? It's never quite clear what he was up to, and Bond quickly dispatches him in a unexciting and brief climax.
