*The Sunday Times Bestseller*
It is 1969 and James Bond is about to go solo, recklessly motivated by revenge.
A seasoned veteran of the service, 007 is sent to single-handedly stop a civil war in the small West African nation of Zanzarim. Aided by a beautiful accomplice and hindered by the local militia, he undergoes a scarring experience which compels him to ignore M’s orders in pursuit of his own brand of justice. Bond’s renegade action leads him to Washington, D.C., where he discovers a web of intrigue and witnesses fresh horrors.
Even if Bond succeeds in exacting his revenge, a man with two faces will come to stalk his every waking moment.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this book. Boyd's writing style is engaging, with just the right combination of action and prose for a thriller. In the book, we go on an African adventure with the quintessential James Bond. I was rapidly drawn into the plot and found myself engrossed with 007, wading through bodies, women and alcohol in perfect poise. The ending was a little rushed but did not spoil the overall experience.
