This is a true Fleming flash back. It is a classic 60's spy romp, with lots of good period detail. It is fun, witty and light hearted, with just a dark side peeking out. The villain is classic Bond, monkey arm and secret lair. The action is split between France, Persia (Iran) and Russia at the hight of the cold war. If you like your spy fiction, shaken not stirred then this is for you. I would also like to point out that it is a bit of a light read, making it a millions miles away from current fiction styles.
Book Description
BOND IS BACK...
The publication of DEVIL MAY CARE is set to be one of the key literary moments of 2008. Written to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth, the novel is the electrifying new chapter in the life of the most iconic spy of literature and film - Bond, James Bond.
The manuscript of the novel is currently being kept under 24 hour guard in a top-secret secure facility in the UK - the details of the plot and characters are strictly embargoed until 00.01 hours on May 28th 2008. However, snippets of information have already leaked from the publishers, including one line from the text...
`Come in, 007,' said M. `It's good to see you back.'
We have also been told that that, picking up from where Ian Fleming left off, Sebastian Faulks takes Bond back to the height of the Cold war in a story of almost unbearable pace and tension. Add to this all the glamour, thrills and excitement that one would expect from any adventure involving Bond, and DEVIL MAY CARE promises to be one of the most exciting and eagerly anticipated books of the year.
