Publisher's Summary
A James Bond novel written by William Boyd.
It is 1969 and James Bond is about to go solo, recklessly motivated by revenge.
A seasoned veteran of the service, 007 is sent to single-handedly stop a civil war in the small West African nation of Zanzarim. Aided by a beautiful accomplice and hindered by the local militia, he undergoes a scarring experience which compels him to ignore M’s orders in pursuit of his own brand of justice. Bond’s renegade action leads him to Washington, D.C., where he discovers a web of geopolitical intrigue and witnesses fresh horrors.
Even if Bond succeeds in exacting his revenge, a man with two faces will come to stalk his every waking moment.
Dominic West is well known for his leading roles in many films, including 28 Days, Mona Lisa Smile, The Forgotten and 300. He played McNulty in HBO’s The Wire, one of the most critically acclaimed television programmes ever made in the U.S. In 2011 he won a TV BAFTA for his role in ITV mini-series Appropriate Adult, and he was also nominated for a Golden Glove for BBC series The Hour.

Shoehorning
Starts in an interesting setting.
Villians are either serotypical or forced in.
The message of 'geopolitics' is complicated is very forced and shoehorned in too late in the book.
Overall it feels like two shorter books pushed together.
Narration is good.
However, it at no point made me uncontrollably angry or indignant with the quality of the writing. That is good.

Another sort of Bond?
As usual a great plot, well written and riveting! I enjoyed it and I am sure you will. Bond is a much softer person in this African adventure - no gun!

Almost classic Bond, well told
I like the 21st century Bond. Strong plot set far from the usual geography of the originals, and no bloody casinos. Sex without the sexism. And narrated with clarity and without frills.
