About this title

Review:

"Mr Fleming is the best thriller writer since Buchan." (Evening Standard)

"Ian Fleming traces the intricacies of counter-espionage with all the efficient authority of 007’s own secret reports" (Sunday Times)

"A brilliant gem!" (Publishers Weekly)

"Admirers of James Bond will be glad to have them to add to their collection" (Sunday Telegraph)

"Stories which, in their fascinated pouring on things – guns, techniques, foodstuffs – remind us that it is the mastery of the world of things, rather than people, that gives Fleming his peculiar literary niche" (Anthony Burgess)
