Reviews

Unshackled from the burden of fidelity to Flemings character, her book feels a lot freer and more spontaneous than the more conventional Bond continuation novels, while still managing to capture something of Flemings rollicking spirit Telegraph

A boldly innovative James Bond novel . . . [Sherwood] rises impressively to all the challenges of the formula the cliffhangers, the exotic locations, the wry specificity about lifestyle and weaponry brands, the blend of kiss kiss and bang bang while adding ideas such as making Q a quantum computer and putting the climate crisis at her remarkable thrillers centre.
