This was barely a 3. It tried way too hard to bring Bond into the modern age. Deaver is a good writer but I constantly was pulled out of the story by what I thought were Bond movie moments. It was like someone gave him a great toy and he didn't quite know what to do with it. (

Good. Entertaining. Not the same as the originals but hopefully with a few more Deavers will get the knack of writing for Bond. I'll read the next one. (

Pretty interesting and refreshing as a 21st century update to the classic James Bond series. (

To the man who taught us we could still believe in heroes, Ian Fleming

First words

His hand on the dead-man throttle, the driver of the Serbian Rail diesel felt the thrill he always did on this particular stretch of railway, heading north from Belgrade and approaching Novi Sad.

Our mission is simple. We protect the Realm...by any means necessary.
