Reviews

'A page-turning adventure that will get the hairs standing up on the back of your neck' - Sunday Express'Good, gritty and funny ... Very clever, Bond, very clever indeed' - Daily Mail Would have made Ian Fleming proud Daily Telegraph More action, more demented crime and more flesh-crawling deaths than ever before -- - Observer James Bond's action adventures are perfect for a graphic novel, with more AAAAAGHH!, KER-BLOOSH! SMAKK and other onomatopoeia than you can shake a martini glass at. Scotland on Sunday This graphic novel is a feast for the eyes as well as the imagination. Fulham Gazette
