“Keep[s] the action coming fast and furious…. Devoted to full-throttle pursuit.” —The New York Times“A satisfying thriller. . . . A fond and at times funny homage to all the other books in the series.” —The New York Times “Superb. . . . Clever, quickly paced and pedal-to-the-metal entertainment.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Superior…. The book races along. Unlike many modern novels, it gets better and better.”—The Economist“Well-written [and] entertaining…. The tension ratchets up.” —The Wall Street Journal“Goes down as easily as one of 007’s bon mots.”—The Christian Science Monitor“So satisfying was Sebastian Faulks’s new James Bond novel that I felt obliged to celebrate by making myself a vodka martini, very dry, shaken, not stirred.” —Fritz Lanham, Houston Chronicle“Faulks is a graceful writer with a bracing cold streak and a sharp eye for period detail.” —Time“Has admirable style and verve, in large part because Faulks approaches the material with respect, never winking at the reader.”—The South Florida Sun-Sentinel
