Fay Dalton captivating images brings life to this 007 thriller in The Folio Society’s spectacular and best-selling James Bond series.

Enter the shadowy world of espionage with
Ian Fleming’s Octopussy and The Living Daylights – a thrilling collection of four short stories featuring the world’s most famous spy, James Bond.
From a high-stakes sniper mission in Cold War Berlin to a deadly reckoning in the Jamaican heat, these stories see Bond at his most ruthless – and most human. Whether he’s tracking a stolen fortune, exposing a Soviet double agent, or wandering Manhattan with his signature blend of cynicism and charm, 007 proves once again that danger follows wherever he goes.
This edition brings together Octopussy, The Living Daylights, The Property of a Lady and 007 in New York – four perfectly crafted tales of betrayal, revenge and moral ambiguity. It’s Bond in bite-sized form, but with all the style, suspense and sophistication that made him a legend.
