Summary

USING HIS FORMIDABLE SKILLS OF DECEPTION, JAMES BOND WORKS TO TAKE DOWN AN AMERICAN GANG

The Spangled Mob are no ordinary American gangsters.

They prey on the addictions of the wealthy and treat the poor as collateral. Their ruthless desire for power and fierce brotherly loyalty make them deadly and invincible.

Now James Bond must go deep undercover in his urgent new assignment: to destroy their millionaire masterminds, Jack and Seraffimo Spang.

But the Spangs’ cruel influence is everywhere, from dusty African diamond mines to the frenzied gambling dens of Las Vegas. Can Bond find his men before his cover is blown?

Another good story in the James Bond series. I enjoyed it, especially the narration, albeit one star behind the previous novel (“Moonraker”). This is one case where the film was better than the book. As usual the characters stand out and Ian Fleming had the knack of choosing memorable names (as did Charles Dickens). A good ploy as they do stick in your mind.
A pretty girl, all action, no chapters which wander of the storyline. I recommend this book and am now turning to from Russia with Love (next in the smarties.

Loved the writing to reflect the 50's but happy we have moved onto more understanding world and moral language

A great Bond Story

I liked this story though somewhat different from the film. Well narrated by what I think is the best female reader in this series, along with The Spy who Loved Me. I've struggled listening to some of the others. My favourite ones are Dr No, From Russia with Love and On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I do find some of the expository monologues in Fleming's Bond novels a little tiring though sometimes, but overall I enjoy these books.

Enjoyable & Good Narration
