For James Bond and the British Secret Service, the stakes couldn’t be higher. 007’s mission is to neutralize the Russian operative Le Chiffre by ruining him at the baccarat table, forcing his Soviet masters to “retire” him. When Le Chiffre hits a losing streak, Bond discovers his luck is in—that is, until he meets Vesper Lynd, a glamorous agent who might yet prove to be his downfall.

The last book written by Ian Fleming, but by no means the least. In “Octopussy,” a talented but wayward British major pays a high price when his wartime past catches up with him, while in “The Property of a Lady,” a Fabergé egg leads Bond to a KGB spy. In “The Living Daylights,” Bond has a perilous rendezvous in sniper’s alley between East and West Berlin, and “007 in New York” (read by Lucy Fleming) sees him sent to America to warn an ex-MI6 operative about a dangerous liaison. All part of the job for 007.

“Live and Let Die is one of Ian Fleming’s best plots, hard-hitting and violent in a way that none of the others are. The writing displays the author’s confident ability to sweep the reader along at a breakneck pace with an engaging rhythm and flow.”—Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill

“From Russia with Love is perhaps the most successful of the Bond series: Fleming has managed to blend excellent characterizations with a highly suspenseful and clever story. The detail is rich and colorful; and the novel contains purely romantic elements that are missing from most of the other books.”—Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill

“The Spy Who Loved Me stands alone as an enigma in the Bond series. It is a truly strange, experimental book for Ian Fleming, because the story is told in first person from the point of view of the heroine. The objective view of Bond here is very different and revealing.”—Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill
