I found this book a bit average. However, it is relatively short and passed the time I suppose.

Aside from a bizarre wedding and a bit of filler around that section, a very enjoyable story and as always ,well read by Mr Vance

Best Gardner story

This is probably John Gardner's best Bond novel so far. The story of religious fanatics and suicide bombings is terribly real, maybe more so since the last 15 years history. A very good story, and as always, superb narration by Simon Vance.

There's a sting in this 'tale'

Bond is back on top form from Gardner. Action packed, and full of twists and turns, this is one that should be made into a film.

Bond is back battling a sinister cult
