From Russia with Love - James Bond 007 (Paperback)
Ian Fleming (author), Tom Rob Smith (author of introduction)- 10+ in stock
The James Bond novel which is most redolent of the shadowy espionage of the Cold War, Fleming’s fifth outing for 007 is one of the very best. Mixing escapist action in exotic locales with a complex plot involving cipher machines, double cross and, naturally, a beautiful female spy, From Russia With Love is vintage Bond from start to finish.
We are here to find a target who will fulfil our requirements. Someone who is admired and whose ignominious destruction would cause dismay
A beautiful Soviet spy. A brand-new Spektor cipher machine. SMERSH has set an irresistible trap that threatens the entire Secret Service. In Fleming's fifth 007 novel Bond finds himself enmeshed in a deadly game of cross and double cross.
