The super spy is back, with a fresh injection from novelist and screenwriter extraordinaire, Anthony Horowitz. The expert in suspense takes us back to the beginning of James Bond’s story… the story rips along with plenty of familiar Bond staples: evil villains, fast cars and women falling for young Bond’s charms. Ian Fleming would be proud.
—— GuardianDaring, exciting, and also superbly plotted, it shows Bond questioning his loyalties at the end of his career. It marks a fitting end to a trilogy from Horowitz that Fleming would surely have approved of
—— Jon Coates , Sunday ExpressIn many ways, Horowitz has now surpassed Fleming and the final book in his Bond trilogy is a masterpiece. It's a literary thriller writing at its page-turning finest.'
—— Daily ExpressHorowitz is a worthy successor to Ian Fleming, putting 007 back in his true domain… This New Bond is up there with the better Old Bonds… The denouement is a very fine piece of action writing… Horowitz has done splendidly.
—— ScotsmanA novel that feels very like a film… fast-paced, skilfully written… leaves you wanting more, and for serious Bond junkies [it] is the next fix in a long tale of addiction.
—— The TimesEven better than Trigger Mortis… it is tremendous fun. Anthony Horowitz has the discipline and skill of a first-class action writer.
—— Sunday ExpressAnthony Horowitz's second James Bond book will keep 007 obsessives happy with martinis, beautiful women and an enormously fat Corsican gangster.
—— The Times *Best New Novels*Exciting high drama… Horowitz stays loyal to the fabulous Fleming formula. And for that he surely deserves another mission guiding the fortunes of the world’s favourite superspy.
—— Daily ExpressHorowitz shows that he knows the Fleming books backwards, offering plot twists that are homages to the master's novels. This nicely imagined book... is an amusing and thought-provoking addition to the post-Fleming bond canon.
—— The Times *Audiobook of the Week*[Horowitz's Bond] is once again in safe hands, not departing much from Fleming’s entertaining formula... Horowitz’s light touch and smooth plotting create something close to the ideal holiday read.
—— Irish ExaminerAn enjoyably compact thriller, with an absolutely killer last line.
—— GuardianForever and a Day is an explosive prequel to Casino Royale which promises to please Bond aficionados and a new legion of fans.

—— Irish ExaminerHorowitz proves himself so adept at getting inside the iconic character, and Fleming’s writing style, that it’s difficult to see the join. Rip-roaringly recommended.
—— Pat Carty , Hot PressHorowitz…captures the mood, pace and style of Fleming very well… the story thunders along with action galore in the Bond tradition. It whets the appetite for the 25th Bond film.
—— Alex Gordon , Peterborough Evening TelegraphA rattling good thriller from an undoubted master of the genre.
—— ChoiceExciting, atmospheric and with non-stop action.
—— iAnthony Horowitz writes Bond in the style of Fleming... Total brain candy in the best possible fashion.

—— Daily Express, *Books of the Year*A clever and highly-satisfying espionage thriller... Horowitz nails precisely why Ian Fleming's novels were so popular in the first place. Put simply, he gets James Bond.
—— Entertainment FocusReaders will love the way Horowitz stays loyal to the winning formula of Bond creator Ian Fleming, confronting an old enemy with new energy.
—— Eastern Daily PressThere seems an inexhaustible appetite for all things 007. One day, we might tire of him, but if his fictional incarnations remain as entertaining as With a Mind to Kill, we will be hoping that Bond doesn't hang up his Walther PPK for a while yet.
—— ObserverMasterly... There's an enjoyably mischievous tension between Bond, whose entire time in Russia is bleak...and Horowitz, who's plainly having a ball subjecting him to this ordeal.
—— Sunday Times, *Thriller of the Month*A gloriously entertaining and surprisingly poignant novel that would make a better movie than many of the Bond stories that actually made it to the big screen.
