Summary
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.

You can never go wrong with a bit of Bond.
I love Bond books, I also love that they have been continued by wonderful modern authors who capture the essence of the Flemming spy. This book was no exception. it kept our car entertained on the journey home from France. We gasped at the end, had it really ended, an uncertain future for our beloved James?

Merciless
The story grips and the pace never slackens. Rory Kinnear delivers it with a befitting dryness that underpins the narrative perfectly. The only thing missing is the sense of fun. All the best Bonds, Horowitz's included, counterbalance the murder and mayhem with a kind of luxury holiday feel - long, sandy beaches, grand hotels and casinos. At other times they stray into the world of adventure and exploration... All these are missing in a story that's grittier and harder than usual,taking Bond and the reader into a nightmare world that , while brilliantly atmospheric remains bleak to the abrupt end.

Another Good Installment
This is the third of 3 continuation novels from Anthony Horowitz. He it does a great job of voicing Fleming’s Bond. In this story he continues the timeline after Man with the Golden Gun and the story involves a Russian conspiracy. Very enjoyable story and well read by Rory Kinear.

An enjoyable listen
Worth a listen for sure, but felt like it lacked a certain level of depth/complexity perhaps? Brainwashing is such an interesting area for Bond to be embroiled in, it’s a shame it doesn’t actually feature that much. It’s quite a linear plot that feels like it’s missing a twist or an extra flourish somewhere. Perhaps the setting robbed it of some of its charm too (unavoidable to be fair). Still, Anthony is extremely talented and I look forward to the next one!

Excellent Bond novel
I really enjoyed this story. It took a while to take off but once it did, it really scored.
The narration by Rory Kinnear was also excellent.
You can listen to it without hearing the original Bond stories but it will more sense if you do as Anthony Horowitz assumes that you are familiar with the characters and I would certainly recommend that you listen to the Ian Fleming Sequence of On Her Majesty's Secret Service/You Only Live Twice and the Man With the Golden Gun to really appreciate this sequel to the latter as it picks up soon after TMWTGG.

ToKill or not to Kill - Intelligence or Brutality
Bemused after finding this apparent non-existant episode in Bond's career, I struggled a little with the pace of the plot build, however, the crescendo in the final part made the listing worthwhile. A clever script with more than enough action and scrapes to define Bond's brand, one really setting out the philosophy of why the 'Doubke-O' section is needed as so eloquently spoken when M addressed C in Spectre! An interesting and thought provoking story, and if the outcome had come to pass (I know this is not Frankie Howard) then what sort of Russia would we be witnessing? A yet harder and even less caring regime than Mr P? whatever the truth behind films and stories like Bond, let's hope that firstly Anthony Horowitz keep writing them in order to keep us entertained and using our grey matter and we don't learn of the reality, but remain safeguarded to the best knowledge in MI6!
