About this listen

The Union is a criminal organization with tentacles throughout the world, specializing in military espionage, theft, intimidation, and murder. After one of its agents assassinates Bond's friend and host at a glittering dinner in the Bahamas, the Union becomes 007's priority target.

When information vital to Britain's national security is stolen, both M and Bond suspect that the Union is behind it. The trail leads Bond from one of England's most exclusive golf clubs to the cosmopolitan city of Brussels and finally to an expedition up the icy heights of the legendary mountain Kangchenjunga, the third tallest peak in the world. Led by the abrasive mountaineer Group Captain Roland Marquis, aided by the expedition's sexy and beautiful doctor, Hope Kendall, and opposed by an unknown traitor working out of SIS itself, Bond must pit his strength and guile against two deadly adversaries - the forces of nature at high altitude and the most resourceful criminal minds he has ever encountered.

Somewhat niche but top narration

An interesting story that has the majority set with Bond climbing a mountain. A somewhat niche entry in the Bond series, but as always Simon Vance's performance is absolutely incredible!

Brilliant

Simon Vance is a brilliant Bond narrator, far better than the awful mess that was Trigger Mortis

Product placement!!!

Bond novels are supposed to be far fetched but this stretches this to the max.....and OMG the unashamed product placement gets embarrassing ( think Mr Benson has earned a few extra quid).
Simon Vance does as good as job as possible but the storyline doesn't cut it......sorry but i didnt enjoy.

A Bond story that has everything!

I have listened to a lot of James Bond books and can honestly say, this is the best. It had everything you would want from our hero; extreme physical challenges, the inclusion of his great loves; golf, climbing, strong women. I would highly recommend this to all fans. Great story, great presentation from Simon Vance

More Maclean than Bond.

A reasonable book but more in the vein of Alistair Maclean than Flemming. A bit too trashy.
