Book description
Bond has lost his licence to kill. After he took revenge on the CIA
agent who handed his friend over to the master criminal, Sanchez, M
revoked his double 0 status and he's considered a rogue agent. With MI6
trying to bring him in and only the support of Q behind him Bond goes
after Sanchez.
Boarding his ship, Bond tricks his way into Sanchez's inner circle and
discovers the secret of his wealth. But Bond is walking a tightrope and
it is surely only a matter of time before he slips ... After Kingsley
Amis John Gardner was the next writer to be asked by Glidrose (now IFPL)
to write further adventures of James Bond. He wrote, like Fleming,
fourteen Bond books, plus novelisations of the films GoldenEye
and Licence to Kill
, from 1981 to 1996.
Before becoming an author of fiction in the early 1960s John Gardner
was variously a stage magician, a Royal Marine officer, a journalist
and, for a short time, a priest in the Church of England. In all,
Gardner had fifty-five novels to his credit - many of them best-sellers
- before he died in August 2007.
