Forever and a Day (James Bond – Extended Series #48) by Anthony Horowitz #foreverandaday @anthonyhorowitz #harpercollins #jamesbond #spies #thriller

Happy Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving. Are you excited? I know I am!

On this beautiful Wednesday I am bringing to you my review of the new Anthony Horowitz’s book titled

Are you ready for Agent 007 to begin?  I know I was and having Anthony Horowitz pick up the reins from Ian Fleming made me wonder and look forward to how this author would handle the task. Needless to say having read Mr Horowitz before, I knew it was going to be a great story and I am happy to report I wasn’t wrong.

We are presented with the beginnings of James Bond, 007, a prequel, and his license to kill. After the first Agent 007 is brutally murdered, James assumes his 007 moniker and is off on an adventure where he enters a world of gambling, of huge riches, of drugs, of murder, death and destruction. Is there a beautiful woman?……. of course!  James is charged with tracking down the murderer of the former Agent 007 and in pursuit of said killer, we meet a cast of dastardly villains including one who is enormously fat and vile. There are other bad guys afoot including very wealthy man who has a ghostly plan for America.

The fun and action take us into France, into the casinos, and aboard a luxury vessel where James and his beautiful accomplice Sixtine battle for their lives.

Will James prevail with everything working against him? Will he survive long enough to live another day as well as enjoy his martini shaken not stirred? All will be answered in this quick moving, page turning book. I recommend it most highly and as I read I kept on hearing both the music and the “My name is Bond, James Bond” playing in my head, as well as having Sean Connery parading through the pages. Keep em coming please, Mr Horowitz!
