Publication of a new paperback edition of COLD, John Gardner's 15th James Bond novel. The book is published by Orion Books in the UK.
James Bond is on a mission that will become an obsession. It starts the night Flight 229 is torn apart at Washington airport, killing 435 passengers. But the victim who matters to Bond is the Principessa Sukie Tempesta: once his lover, still his friend.
The search for Sukie's killers will turn out to be the most complex and demanding assignment of Bond's career. Across continents and through ever-changing labyrinths of evil, he follows the traces of clues into the centre of a fanatical society more deadly than any terrorist army. Its code name is COLD.
About the author:
After
Kingsley Amis John Gardner was the next writer to be asked by Glidrose (now
IFPL) to write further adventures of James Bond. He wrote, like
Ian Fleming, fourteen Bond books, plus novelisations of the films
Licence to Kill (1989) and
GoldenEye (1995), from 1981 to 1996.
Before becoming an author of fiction in the early 1960s John Gardner was variously a stage magician, a Royal Marine officer, a journalist and, for a short time, a priest in the Church of England. In all, Gardner had fifty-five novels to his credit - many of them best-sellers - before he died in August 2007.
