James Bond Series #7
James Bond is challenged by a maniacal superfiend: the world’s cleverest, cruelest criminal. A beautiful golden girl turns up dead. A friendly game of two-handed canasta turns into a deadly game of survival with ever-rising stakes—15 billion dollars’ worth of U.S. government bullion. But 007 knows that Auric Goldfinger’s rules remain brutally simple: heads I win, tails you die….
REVIEWS:
“[Simon Vance’s] polished voice is an enchanting accompaniment to Fleming’s exotic settings and stories. His English accent is as smooth as a dry martini—shaken not stirred—and he slips into other accents as easily as the fictional 007 slips out of a dangerous situation and into the bed of a beautiful woman. Listening to these unabridged novels is more subtle than watching the films, but ultimately more rewarding.” —AudioFile
“Goldfinger is the most preposterous specimen yet displayed in Mr. Fleming’s museum of superfiends….maniacally readable….excellent pieces of descriptive writing.”—The Observer
“Goldfinger marks a turning point in the series. It separates the early books from the later ones in that James Bond’s character becomes more introspective as Fleming discloses his hero’s thoughts more often, thus enabling the reader to dig deeper into Bond’s feelings.”—Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill
IAN LANCASTER FLEMING (1908–1964) was born in London and educated at Eton and Sandhurst. During World War II, he served in British Naval Intelligence, playing a key role in shaping the prototype CIA. His wide-ranging, fast-paced life would provide the backdrop for his beloved spy novels featuring the perennially charming James Bond.

James Bond Series #5
Every major foreign government organization has a file on British secret agent James Bond. Now, Russia’s lethal SMERSH organization has targeted him for elimination. SMERSH is the Soviet organ of vengeance, interrogation, torture, and death. James Bond is dedicated to the destruction of its agents wherever he finds them.
Far away in Moscow, SMERSH has laid a death trap for Bond with an enticing lure: the irresistible Tatiana Romanova, who draws 007 to Istanbul promising the top-secret Spektor cipher machine. But when Bond walks willingly into the trap, a game of cross and double-cross ensues, with Bond both the stakes and the prize.
REVIEWS:
“[A]n entertaining performance of one of Fleming’s best 007 novels. Using a rich palette of international voices and accents, [Vance] takes an engaging story and infuses it with the additional drama that only a fine actor can provide.”—AudioFile
“From Russia with Love is perhaps the most successful of the Bond series: Fleming has managed to blend excellent characterizations with a highly suspenseful and clever story. The detail is rich and colorful; and the novel contains purely romantic elements that are missing from most of the other books.”—Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill

James Bond Series #6
M called this case a soft option. Bond can’t quite agree. The tropical island is luxurious, the seductive Honey Rider is beautiful and willing. But they are both part of the empire of Dr. No.
The doctor is a worthy adversary, with a mind as hard and cold as his solid steel hands. Dr. No’s obsession is power. His only gifts are strictly pain-shaped.
Reviews:
“The essence of a James Bond thriller is its speed, its knowingness….Dr. No has a full quota of every ingredient. Bond is better than ever.”—Evening Standard
“Dr. No is certainly one of the best James Bond novels. In terms of sheer excitement and thrills, it ranks very high. It also has a simple, direct plot, a very appealing heroine, and the best villain since Hugo Drax. It isn’t surprising that it was also chosen to be the first 007 film.”—Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill

The scene is almost entirely American and it rings true to an American. I am unaware of any other writer who has accomplished this.”—Raymond Chandler IAN LANCASTER FLEMING (1908–1964) was born in London and educated at Eton and Sandhurst.
