Summary
The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Sebastian Faulks's instalment in Ian Fleming's iconic Bond series, Devil May Care. Read by Jeremy Northam.
"My novel is meant to stand in the line of Fleming's own books, where the story is everything." said Faulks, "In his house in Jamaica, Ian Fleming used to write a thousand words in the morning, then go snorkelling, have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another thousand words in late afternoon, then more Martinis and glamorous women. In my house in London, I followed this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch and the snorkelling."
Picking up from where Fleming left off in 1966 with The Living Daylights / Octopussy, Faulks has written the perfect continuation of the James Bond legacy. Devil May Care is set during the Cold War and features all the glamour, thrills and excitement that one would expect from any adventure involving Bond ... James Bond.
This unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition is read by Jeremy Northam.

Great Bond romp
I really enjoyed this, it was in the true spirit of Bond stories, fun, exciting, well told and engaging. The only thing that spoilt it for me, was the ridiculous physical handicap of the villain - I appreciate they're all traditionally "odd", but this stretched the boundaries a bit far for me.

Bond at his best
This was my first Audible experience and it has set a very high standard for others to follow. I loved the book itself which has all the action and intrigue that you expect from Bond as well as that little bit of romance. I also think Jeremy Northam should be made to record every audio book in existence as, not only does he have a gorgeous voice, his characterisations were all distinct and beautifully performed. I like to listen to books while I walk my dog. He was wondering why he was going for three walks a day! Brilliant!

Old school Bond fun.
What did you like most about Devil May Care?
Loved the style, it's very much in the vain of Ian Fleming and catches the essence of the early Bond stories.

Haven't listened to any other of his performances.

Excellent
If you could sum up Devil May Care in three words, what would they be?
Set in the 60's so no mod cons and no fancy gadgets. Great.
What other book might you compare Devil May Care to, and why?
This is my third of fourth Bond book and the most enjoyable. it is also a very believable villain and plot. Excellent narration. Five stars.
What about Jeremy Northam’s performance did you like?
The characters come to life in your mind's eye and each is recognisable in their own right thanks to the narrator and his accents.

A faithful recreation of a memory
This is a book that captures the time and places it depicts, while recreating the Character and idiosyncrasies of its creator, plus all the expected set pieces and a faithful representation of the expected plot.
For a book created in six weeks by Faulks, with a certain disdain for not being real writing it achieves the necessary amounts of entertainment and creativity.
The formula works especially when delivered by a master. entertaining and well paced with a great understanding of the genre.

music at the end really?
Was quite good until the last 3 minutes. If you like Generation 1 transformers movies the last 3 minutes are for you.

rollicking adventure
Enjoyed this and the narration was good. Plot was a little convoluted and stretched belief a little. Everything else was okay.

A CRACKING LISTEN
I thought that this audiobook was a really good listen, well told and easily listened to. The storyteller was very good at doing the voices and he took you right to the action which there was plenty of to be had would reccommend to any new and old Bond fans out there.
