Official Book Description
(Penguin)
Bond is back with a license to thrill. Forty-three years ago, Ian Fleming wrote
his last great 007 adventure. Now, in Devil May Care, the world’s most
iconic spy returns in a Cold War story spanning the world’s exotic locations.
By
invitation of the Fleming estate to mark the centenary of his birth, acclaimed
novelist Sebastian
Faulks picks up where Fleming left off, writing a tour
de
force that will electrify every James Bond fan. A fitting tribute to the Bond
tradition, Devil May Care stands on its own as a triumph of witty prose and
plenty of double-0 action.
