Two female agents of Operation Cream Cake-double agents and honey traps against the KGB-are murdered. Bond must find the others and conduct them to safety before they meet a similar fate.
In a race against time, Bond travels to Ireland and the KGB is soon on the scene. But all is not as it seems and soon Bond finds he needs all his wits to negotiate a labyrinth of double-crossing that is to lead him to a bewildering showdown in a remote corner of the Kowloon province of Hong Kong, where, weaponless, he is hunted by four assassins.
No Deals, Mr. Bond is the sixth in the bestselling series created by John Gardner, and one of the most original and unpredictable.
Despatched by M to the Frozen north of Finland-near the border with Arctic Russia-Bond must face an emerging global threat of catastrophic proportions.
To do so, 007 is forced to join Icebreaker, a small Black Ops team composed of his some of his greatest rivals.
But Bond's comrades-in-arms from the CIA, KGB and Mossad each come with a deadly agenda of their own. And between cross and double-cross, Bond must stay alive long enough to halt the ambitions of a madman with chilling links to a terrible past.
In Icebreaker, the third of Gardner's bestselling, critically acclaimed titles, Bond will need it all just to survive; let alone take down his target.
A deadly terrorist group is planning to attack a British aircraft carrier. On board will be the leaders of the UK, USA, and USSR, gathered together for a summit meeting. M promotes Bond to Captain and returns him to the Navy in order to prevent the most audacious ransom plot ever attempted. But Bond's involvement has not gone unnoticed. A stunning and lethal assassin has already been given orders to kill him.
007 finds himself caught in the middle of a massive war game. If he's to thwart the terrorists' death-dealing plot, he can't afford to trust anyone.

The Cold War is over.
After two British agents die under mysterious and strangely old-fashioned circumstances in Germany, Bond is paired up with beautiful CIA agent 'Easy' St John. He's been assigned to track down the surviving members of "Cabal," a Cold War-era intelligence network that received a mysterious and unauthorised signal to disband.
It's not long before Bond and Easy find themselves playing a life-or-death game as they try to figure out who they can trust. All the while, Cabal agents are dying one by one....
Death is Forever is the twelfth of Gardner's bestselling series and was the first Bond novel to be published after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
Special Branch are not usually interested in dead bodies found floating in the Thames-unless the corpse is a beautiful young girl with an impeccable background. And when the corpse is carrying Commander James Bond's telephone number it's not long before M is called in.
M thrusts Bond into an unusual mixture of mayhem and intrigue involving a strange, quasi-religious sect known as The Society of the Meek Ones. When it turns out that the sect has links with the shadowy Vladimir Scorpius, the game becomes deadly. Intrigue builds upon intrigue as Bond is pitted against one of the most ruthless and sinister villains that he's ever encountered.
Scorpius is the seventh of Gardner's bestselling Bond novels and finds Bond battling an evil that will seem horribly familiar to modern readers.
Cooling his heels on holiday, Bond is bored and resentful. But then Brokenclaw Lee walks into his life. For the first time in months, James Bond is interested in something: a man who exudes charisma and menace.

But Bond has been a target before. And when it comes to staying alive, nobody does it better than 007.
In Nobody Lives Forever, the fifth in Gardner's bestselling series, Fleming's superspy is at the top of his game.
An Italian General. An English MP. A Russian novelist. An American spymaster.
In different corners of the world four high-profile figures are assassinated in less than a week. Nobody links the deaths but one thing is certain: each of them has been stalked, sought out, and killed with care and preparation.
Then comes the fifth death in Switzerland and a macabre and sinister connection. A single blood-tipped rose is sent to each funeral. Enter James Bond and Flicka von Grüsse, a gorgeous Swiss intelligence officer. It's a perilous assignment which leads them to Athens, Milan, and on to EuroDisney and an explosive climax.
Never Send Flowers is the thirteenth Bond novel by John Gardner and sees Bond experiencing some bad luck as he pursues the wrong killer with terrible consequences.
Meet the KGB's new secret weapon: Commander James Bond. The Scales of Justice, a rebel force of Russian terrorists, have snatched an American citizen they suspect of Nazi war crimes. If the KGB aren't able to penetrate the terror cell, and quickly, the victim will be tried and executed. What seems like a small-scale kidnapping is soon revealed to be the tip of the iceberg. Intelligence agencies around the world unite to neutralise the threat.
When Bond hears that he's being transferred to Moscow he can hear the warning bells a mile off. Working for the KGB, alongside agents from all over the globe? It's his most lethal mission yet.
The Man From Barbarossa is the eleventh of Gardner's thrilling series of Bond novels and was described as 'irresistible' by Time magazine.
James Bond is back in action, with the stunning Flicka von Grüsse at his side and his licence to kill renewed once more.
His target is Sir Maxwell Tarn: a businessman whose legitimate empire spans the globe, whose wealth is uncountable, who also deals in illegal weapons on a breathtaking scale.
But even Bond is unprepared for the speed of events, as a sting operation in a Cambridge hotel leads rapidly to an assassination in Spain, a fugitive in Israel and neo-Nazi plotters in Germany. Bond finally catches up with Tarn in Puerto Rico where his prey becomes his captor and Bond realises he may have taken certain things for granted.
SeaFire is the fourteenth novel in John Gardner's bestselling series of official James Bond books.
James Bond begins a mission that will become an obsession the night that Flight 229 is torn apart at Washington airport, killing 435 passengers. But the victim that matters most to 007 is the Principessa Sukie Tempesta: once his lover, still his friend.
The search for Sukie's killers will turn out to be the most complex and demanding assignment of Bond's career. Across continents and through ever-changing labyrinths of evil, he follows the traces of clues into the centre of a fanatical society more deadly than any terrorist army. Its code name is COLD.
COLD is the sixteenth and final Bond novel by John Gardner and the action takes place both before and after Bond's outings in SeaFire and Never Send Flowers.
Following scandal and his shock resignation from Britain's Secret Intelligence Service James Bond becomes a gun for hire; able, and willing, to sell his lethal skills to the highest bidder. And SPECTRE, it seems, are eager to have the disgraced British super spy on their payroll.
But before he can be fully embraced by his new employer-and deadliest enemy-007 must first prove his loyalty. And in doing so he must threaten with nuclear annihilation everything he has fought his whole life to defend. Until honour is fully restored.
Gardner's stunning reinvention of Bond secured critical acclaim and blockbusting sales around the world. Role of Honour, the fourth book in the series, kept 007 at No.1.
