Title: Gardner simply can't write Bond novels!
Review: I shall start by saying that I am an avid James Bond fan, not just the movies, but to a far greater extent...the original novels. I have all of Ian Flemmings books, I have read them again and again, and they are still as good today as they were 50 odd years ago. I bought the John Gardner novels in order to finish my collection, I would never buy them in order to get enjoyment out of them! Mr Gardner cannot even begin to fill the shoes of Ian Flemming. His stories are too far fetched, his twists and plots are so over the top they are confusing and the pace of all the books I have read, is as slow as hell! I would only recommend buying this book, Seafire, or any other Gardner Bond Novel if you are a dedicated collector - because no enjoyment can be got out of these.
