Reviews
A fine storyteller, Horowitz employs all the tropes fans know and love (including an elegant explanation for the famous martini mandate, shaken, not stirred ), but he also delivers a conclusion whose moral complexity will surprise anyone expecting an ending more in line with Fleming's own. --Publishers Weekly This explosive adventure is Horowitz's second Bond book, after Trigger Mortis (2015), and marks him as fully worthy to carry on the Bond tradition. Fleming would be pleased. Whether he is writing for adults or children, whether he is imagining his own characters or extending the lives of those created by others (Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle as well as Fleming), Horowitz always draws a crowd of eager readers. --Booklist (starred review)
