Once again, elegant, libidinous troubleshooter James Bond rises to meet the occasion. In this case, the occasion is the 100th anniversary of the birth of his creator, Ian Fleming. To mark the centennial, Fleming's estate commissioned popular British novelist Sebastian Faulks to compose a Bond-worthy 007 novel. Devil May Care fits the bill perfectly, successfully transporting us through breathtakingly perilous adventures on two continents.

Continuación directa de las novelas de Fleming. Bien adaptada a la época mantiene el ritmo copiando fielmente el estilo del original, incluso alguna que otra innecesaria y kilométrica descripcion a las que acostumbraba el autor. Para los fans de las primeras novelas de Bond.
Some interesting stuff about Persia/Iran in this otherwise highly conventional thriller (I suppose that's a compliment, since presumably the point of a Bond sequel is to demonstrate the conventions that fed the movie series). Interesting, however, to read it in conjunction with seeing the latest in ...
Sebastian Faulks writing as an Fleming. Pretty meh
