About this title

From the Back Cover

'Bond is what every man would like to be, and what every woman would like to have between her sheets' Raymond Chandler

Bringing together all of the James Bond short stories in one volume for the first time, this is the ultimate celebration of suave and deadly secret agent 007. Whether he's making an unexpected discovery in the Bahamas, hunting down a Cuban hit-man in wild country, smashing an international drugs ring in Rome, on the trail of a murderous secret in the Caribbean, or foiling a surprisingly alluring assassin in Berlin's sniper's alley, dangerous missions and beautiful women come with the job for James Bond. And this agent is always a consummate professional.

'Quantum of Solace' was originally published in Ian Fleming's collection of short stories, For Your Eyes Only, and is also the title of the twenty-second James Bond film, starring Daniel Craig.

Over drinks, Bond hears a tale about raw human passions that contains more cruelty and suffering than any experienced by him - and which makes him question the violence in his own life..."Quantum of Solace" was originally published in Ian Fleming's collection of short stories, "For Your Eyes Only", and is also the title of the twenty-second James Bond film, starring Daniel Craig.
