Publisher Description
*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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Bestselling author William Boyd—who was nominated for a Booker Prize for his novel An Ice-Cream War—was tapped to continue the James Bond legacy. Set in 1969, Solo opens with the super-spy celebrating his 43rd birthday alone in a posh London hotel, but the action soon moves to a small African nation torn apart by civil war. In quintessential red-blooded style, 007 quickly achieves his official mission of ending the conflict—but at a high personal price. Boyd’s crisp, spare writing and astute psychological insight heighten the tension as Bond embarks on an unauthorised mission to unearth the truth and exact revenge.
