She is beautiful. She is Russian. And she is very, very dangerous. Once Xenia worked for the KGB. But her new master is Janus, a powerful and ambitious Russian leader who no longer cares about ideology. Janus's ambitions are money and power: his normal business methods include theft and murder. And he has just acquired GoldenEye, a piece of high-tech space technology witht the power to destroy or corrupt the West's financial markets.
But Janus has underestimated his most determined enemy: James Bond.
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.
