This book is good for anyone who like James Bond or wants to read an interesting novel.

I really liked when Bond took his double's place and infiltrated the Union

I didn't really like it whenever Bond blacked out, because it leaves a small gap in the story.

When I finished reading this book, I wanted to read the follow-up, Never Dream of Dying.

This book made me fell excited. This is a fast paced book and good for anyone who wants a good read.

Raymond Benson really puts Bond ahead from the days of Ian Fleming and John Gardner, pushing him forward into the 21st century.

I highly recommend this book because it is very interesting and has a unique plot, plus it is very fast paced.

Go and pick up this one. You won't regret it!
