Benson "imbues his Bond with enough honor, sexual prowess and action-hero skills to please the purist and enthrall the novice," Publishers Weekly.
Bond is back and bigger than ever. Raymond Benson's novels have reached
new heights both in sales and critical acclaim. Kirkus Reviews called The Facts of Death
"a postmodern treat." Benson "imbues his Bond with enough honor, sexual
prowess and action-hero skills to please the purist and enthrall the novice," says
Publishers Weekly.
It's at a dinner party with his old friend the former Governor of the Bahamas that James
Bond first encounters the deadly new criminal organization known simply as "The
Union." An international group, they specialize in military espionage, theft,
intimidation, and murder. When information vital to Britain's national security is stolen,
M and 007 suspect that the Union is behind it. Bond's pursuit of the crucial microdot
takes him from one of England's most exclusive golf clubs to the frozen heights of one of
the world's tallest mountains. His every step is dogged by Union assassins. Their presence
alone confirms Bond's worst fear--there is a traitor in Her Majesty's Secret Service.
