MEDIA REVIEWS
It is often difficult to remember that we are not listening to his old hero Mr. James Bond...several yarns are worthy of the best spy-storiesAn exciting and richly fascinating accountFleming not only had a gift for gripping plots,but an abundantly moreish prose style with pin-sharp descriptions. Betjeman was right. Fleming conjured an entire world,infinitely more colourful than our own,and one that may well go on for everFleming's books are well-written,pacy and hard-edged
