Ratings and reviews

An excellent prequel that fits Fleming's style and a good lead into Casino Royale. The overall plot is a little basic but the characters are very well defined with a strong female lead that helps mold Bond into the agent we all know.

Great a Prequel to Casino Royale. James Bond becomes 007. Drives an mg, gets shot and saves the world.

Read it within a week, an easy page turner with a good storyline. I would definitely this book to anyone.
