Critic Reviews

“Ian Fleming keeps you riveted. His narrative pulls with the smooth power of Bond's Thunderbird”

Ian Fleming keeps you riveted. His narrative pulls with the smooth power of Bond’s Thunderbird Sunday Telegraph
Vivian Michel is far the most attractive of Bond’s heroines to date Sunday Times
Imaginative and revealing... frightening... Fleming has succeeded in creating a true sense of terror... the most escapist fantasy of the series -- Raymond Benson

About the Author

Ian Fleming (Author)Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London in 1908. His first job was at Reuters news agency after which he worked briefly as a stockbroker before working in Naval Intelligence during the Second World War. His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and was an instant success. Fleming went on to write twelve other Bond books as well as two works of non-fiction and the children's classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The Bond books have sold over sixty million copies and earned praise from figures such as Raymond Chandler who called Fleming 'the most forceful and driving writer of thrillers in England' and President Kennedy who named From Russia with Love as one of his favourite books. The books inspired a hugely successful series of film adaptations which began in 1961 with the release of Dr No, starring Sean Connery as 007. Fleming was married to Anne Rothermere with whom he had a son, Caspar. He died in 1964.Douglas Kennedy (Introducer)Douglas Kennedy's previous fourteen novels include the critically acclaimed bestsellers The Big Picture, The Pursuit of Happiness, A Special Relationship and The Moment. He is also the author of three highly-praised travel books. The Big Picture was filmed with Romain Duris and Catherine Deneuve; The Woman in the Fifth with Ethan Hawke and Kristin Scott Thomas.His work has been translated into twenty-two languages. In 2007 he was awarded the French decoration of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and in 2009 the inaugural Grand Prix de Figaro. Born in Manhattan in 1955, he has two children and currently divides his time between London, Paris, Berlin, Maine and New York.

Back Cover

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY DOUGLAS KENNEDY When Ian Fleming quit Naval Intelligence in 1945 he had a plan - to write the spy story to beat all spy stories. And so the world got the hero it had been waiting for - James Bond. 'You take a wrong step, play the wrong card in Fate's game, and you're lost in a world you had never imagined, against which you have no weapons. No compass.' Vivienne Michel is running away - from pain, from rejection, from humiliation. When she stumbles into a criminal plot, her life seems over... until a chance encounter with James Bond turns her world upside down. Ian Fleming's tenth 007 novel is a unique view of Bond, through the eyes of a woman who loves him. 'Ian Fleming keeps you riveted. His narrative pulls with the smooth power of Bond's Thunderbird' Sunday Telegraph See also: On Her Majesty's Secret Service
