LEGENDARY AGENT JAMES BOND CONFRONTS AN ENEMY UNLIKE ANY HE’S FACED BEFORE

James Bond is not an easily intimidated man, but it’s hard not to feel unnerved in the presence of Mr. Big. A ruthless Harlem gangster who uses superstition and fear to control his vast criminal empire, he’s also one of SMERSH’s top American operatives.

Mr. Big has been smuggling British pirate treasure to New York from a remote Jamaican island and funneling the proceeds to Moscow. With help from Solitaire, Mr. Big’s beautiful and enigmatic Creole fortune teller, and his old friend Felix Leiter of the CIA, 007 must locate the crime lord’s hideout, sabotage his operation, and reclaim the pirate hoard for England.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Adjoa Andoh, a Shakespearean-trained actress and Golden Voice, is a great choice to narrate this James Bond classic. Andoh scales back the superhero image associated with the bombastic Bond films and returns 007 to his literary roots, dry and elegant…Thanks to Andoh’s sophisticated voicings and strong pacing, Fleming’s work retrieves its dignity.” AudioFile
“Tense; ice-cold, sophisticated.” Evening Standard (London)
“Contains passages which for sheer excitement have not been surpassed by any modern writer of this kind.” Times Literary Supplement (London)
“This is an ingenious affair, full of recondite knowledge and horrific spills and thrills.” The Times (Sunday)
