James Bond Devil may care

Greetings, Devil may care is the latest James Bond book out, as far a I know anyway and is written by Sebastian Faulks as Ian Felming. This is the first novel of 007 that I have ever read, the other being Silverfin when Bond was still in school. The story is set in the 1960's with James on a three month Sabbatical, a holiday in which he has to decide whether he wants to return to his normal job or spend the rest of his career completing office work. This is until he is confronted by a female banker in Italy by the name Scarlett Papava who asks him to help her rescue her sister from a villain called Dr Julius Gorner who plans to destroy Great Britain by flooding it with drugs. Scarlett's sister was a drug user and easily captured by Gorner, who has a grudge against her father. As the plot expands Bond receives help from old allies such as Leiter and his boss M, in his attempts to save his country learning more of Julius' plan. The writing is simple to understand and easy to follow, this should be a treat to 007 fans. It isn't the best Bond experience I've had but it is enjoyable and would encourage you to read it if you're a fanatic of the James Bond collection. The tenth chapter of the War for humankind is up in the Warehouse.

I might give some of Fleming's novels a try, could be worth a shot.

Hmm, I've never read a Bond novel before. Sounds good though.

Looks interesting. Perhaps you should give one of Ian Fleming's original Bond novels a go — not sure how good they are, never really read any.
