    I read that this was John Gardner's favorite Bond book. I had a hard time trying to figure out what was going on in this one. It seemed to be that more time was needed for character development and the overall story.

    I was pretty disappointed in this entry in Gardner's Bond run. It feels like Gardener wrote a generic espionage story (which the man is damned good at) and plugged in the name James Bond for the hero. This is a decent spy story, just not a Bond story.
