Guardian
Horowitz is <b>a worthy successor to Ian Fleming, putting 007 back in his true domain</b>… This New Bond is <b>up there with the better Old Bonds</b>… The denouement is<b> a very fine piece of action writing</b>… Horowitz has done <b>splendidly</b>.
Scotsman
Straight away Horowitz is able to capture Fleming’s flowing style and intricate details from how Bond likes his eggs in the morning to the cars he drives... He’s <b>just as faithfully suave as in the original novels</b>.
Daily Express
A novel that <b>feels very like a film</b>… <b>fast-paced, skilfully written</b>… <b>leaves you wanting more</b>, and for serious Bond junkies [it] is the next fix in a long tale of addiction.
The Times
<b>Even better than </b><i><b>Trigger Mortis</b>… </i>it is <b>tremendous fun</b>. Anthony Horowitz has the discipline and skill of <b>a first-class action writer.</b>
Sunday Express
<b>Exciting high drama</b>… Horowitz stays <b>loyal to the fabulous Fleming formula</b>. And for that <b>he surely deserves another mission </b>guiding the fortunes of <b>the world’s favourite superspy</b>.
Daily Express
[Horowitz's Bond] is once again in safe hands, not departing much from <b>Fleming’s entertaining formula</b>... Horowitz’s light touch and smooth plotting create something close to <b>the ideal holiday read.</b>
Irish Examiner
Anthony Horowitz writes <b>Bond in the style of Fleming</b>... <b>Total brain candy in the best possible fashion.</b>
- Rick O'Shea, RTE Guide
Anthony Horowitz's second James Bond book <b>will keep 007 obsessives happy</b> with martinis, beautiful women and an enormously fat Corsican gangster.
The Times *Best New Novels*
Horowitz shows that he knows the Fleming books backwards, offering plot twists that are homages to the master's novels. This nicely imagined book... is <b>an amusing and thought-provoking addition to the post-Fleming bond canon.</b>
