Book description
The Cold War is over. After two British agents die under mysterious and
strangely old-fashioned circumstances in Germany, Bond is paired up with
beautiful CIA agent 'Easy' St John. He's been assigned to track down the
surviving members of "Cabal", a Cold War-era intelligence
network that received a mysterious and unauthorised signal to disband.
It's not long before Bond and Easy find themselves playing a
life-or-death game as they try to figure out who they can trust. All the
while, Cabal agents are dying one by one ... 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.
