Doubleshot

James Bond (Original Series)

De: Raymond Benson

Narrado por: Simon Vance

The intricately organized criminal conspiracy called the Union has vowed its revenge on the man who thwarted its last coup. Now, the Union's mysterious leader sets out to destroy James Bond's reputation and sanity by luring the agent into a dangerous alliance of deceit and treason with a Spanish militant intent on reclaiming Gibraltar.

Officially on medical leave as a result of a head injury sustained on his last adventure, 007 ignores M's orders and pursues clues that he believes might lead him to the Union's inner circle. His search takes him from the seedy underbelly of London's Soho to the souks of Tangier; from a terrorist training camp in Morocco to a bullring in Spain; and from the clutches of a murderous Spanish beauty to a volatile summit conference on the Rock of Gibraltar.

Each step brings 007 closer to the truth about the Union's elaborate, audacious plot to destroy both SIS and its best agent: James Bond.

Vance has trouble capturing all dialect

Great story, entertaining and compelling, a well textured plot, multi-dimensional characters, well written. Vance does a good job, all in all; however, his dialects are somewhat confusing and off key.

A fun 007 romp

Benson is able to capture the essence of Fleming’s Bond. A thrilling, intriguing, globe-trotting adventure!

Bond Manipulated.

Very enjoyable.
The Union make for pretty good bad guys in this trilogy.
Looking forward to seeing how 007 takes them out.

The best non-Fleming work!

Tremendous plot, characters, and pace! Thus should be one of the next movies. You will not be disappointed.

Another knocker

These Raymond Benson Bond books keep getting better and better. And Simon Vance has a very pleasing voice to go with them
