About this listen

The Cold War is over. After two British agents die under mysterious and strangely old-fashioned circumstances in Germany, Bond is paired up with beautiful CIA agent "Easy" St. John. He's been assigned to track down the surviving members of "Cabal," a Cold War-era intelligence network that received a mysterious and unauthorized signal to disband.

It's not long before Bond and Easy find themselves playing a life-or-death game as they try to figure out who they can trust. All the while, Cabal agents are dying one by one....

A very enjoyable story with good characters. Certainly a step up after the plodding last entry.

Loved it!

Interesting story, some good twists and turns. The ending felt a bit rushed. But as always Simon Vance was superb!

Is death really forever?

While the narration is good as always, the narrative is far from Bond. The innuendos are cringeworthy, the story itself quite nondescript and the ending ridiculously rushed, despite being the one opportunity for this book to introduce a true Bond-like action scene. It feels as if this was written under contractual obligation rather than to tell a good story.

Different
