The James Bond of the novels and stories is quite different to the James Bond of the movies. The reader is drawn into a cold, brutal world of deadly espionage where agent 007 is no invincible hero, but a flesh and blood man who must survive on wits and endurance alone against foreign powers, agents and megalomaniacs.

He bleeds. He is scared. He doubts. Death awaits him at every turn. But he will never, ever give up. These fourteen beautiful editions in Penguin Modern Classic are the quintessential Bond: sophisticated, stylish - and to die for.
