Forever and a Day

An instant classic.

Horowitz delves into the making of 007 for the first time. The first few chapters of this book detail James Bond's call-up to the double-oh ranks, and how he was given his infamous License to Kill by MI-6.

Horowitz is a master storyteller and a gifted writer. His prose is dead perfect for Bond stories, and he delivers all the action, suspense, wry Bond dialogue, and classic Bond villains you could want.

The story surges like riptide until the explosive climax.

A worthy entry into the Bond franchise, and one I'd like to see adapted to the screen.
