For Special Services (James Bond 007 Book 2) by John Gardner
Assuming that you are OFA with the John Gardner James Bond universe, unlike the fact that Gardner has updated bond to the 1980s you’ll probably like this. I don’t think it’s a bad continuation novel and for lovers of the James Bond role playing game this will make a very good scenario. There was a twist which was unexpected, there was also some cringe some misogynist moments and I’m not sure that the references to Felix Leite’s daughter were appropriate.
A Masterpiece of Spy fiction.
Enthralling from first to last page with superb characterisation throughout especially 'Big Herbie Kruger'. The tension is palpable and mounts as you flick the page. There are more than enough surprises and twists along the way for my ageing brain to comprehend.
Absolute quality cannot wait for book three.

The first in the John Gardner era of James Bond continuation novels. With the double oh section in obsolete semi retirement, is once again called upon safe day. It’s an interesting premise and an unusual bond villain. Unfortunately get slightly wasted in this somewhat mediocre offering. It feels more like fanfiction rather than a legitimates character, art for bond and indeed Even an acceptance of a new version of James Bond. I think there might be some mileage in looking at this. If you’re interested in running the James Bond role-playing game just to give yourself some more ideas but otherwise unless you’re a completist this is something that if you miss it, it won’t matter.… (more)
