Helpful Score: 2
James, James Bond, is back but updated to thwart modern villains, with his bag of tricks from Q and his Carte Blanche to deal with threats to the realm as needed. Fine wine, fast cars, elegant women, espionage and danger...all excellent Bond hallmarks to enjoy with Deaver's deft handling of the hero developed by Ian Fleming. I thoroughly enjoyed Bond's newest adventure, with a promise of more to come. This international adventure starts with a train wreck in Serbia, picks up the pace in London and Dubai, and REALLY gets tense in South Africa. I appreciated how Deaver wove in bits of local culture and local history to explain his local allies and foes that enriched Bond's action and danger within each country.
