JOHN GARDNER No Deals Mr Bond JAMES BOND 007 HC/DJ VG

You are bidding on the original hardback publication of

Ian Fleming's Master Spy
in
NO DEALS, MR BOND

by

JOHN GARDNER

Book is in VERY GOOD condition.

Some minor yellowing of the pages and minor wear on dust jacket.

Five years after the members of the Cream Cake spy network are disbanded and assigned new identities, the organization formerly known as SMERSH begins to hunt them down, kill them and cut out their tongues. Following a personal request by M, Bond is tasked with rescuing the remaining three members of Cream Cake, without help from MI6 or any other official channel. Upon locating them, Bond finds himself pitted against high-ranking SMERSH officials in a tale of double-crossing, defections and intrigue that brings him through Europe and Hong Kong.

One of the most down-to-earth of Gardner's novels, No Deals, Mr. Bond also happens to be one of his best. Gardner seems to be very comfortable writing about the nuances of human behavior and the interactions between individuals. He truly gets inside Bond's head and spends much of the book focusing on 007 working out one of the most complex assignments of his career. This is a sharp contrast to other Gardner-Bond novels where he spends half the time focused on nonsensical villain plots and absurd methods of blackmail and torture.

It is the realism that makes No Deals, Mr. Bond such a good read. Bond's assignment starts out as a simple recovery and protection operation, something far more realistic for a secret agent than saving the world. As it is a Bond novel, the plot soon is full of twists and turns and surprises, but it still stays grounded in reality. With each revelation of defectors, traitors and M's hidden motives, the story gets more intense. By the time the reader gets to the shocking conclusion, they are truly on the edge of their seat.

Fans who are more keen to the Moonraker and Tomorrow Never Dies style of Bond movies might not find this novel as enjoyable. However, for anyone who has ever picked up Fleming's From Russia With Love and loved every minute of it, this is the Gardner novel for you. He would later reuse the plot for another novel, but this one does it best.
