Daring, exciting, and also superbly plotted, it shows Bond questioning his loyalties at the end of his career. It marks a fitting end to a trilogy from Horowitz that Fleming would surely have approved of -- Jon Coates * Sunday Express * The super spy is back, with a fresh injection from novelist and screenwriter extraordinaire, Anthony Horowitz. The expert in suspense takes us back to the beginning of James Bond's story... the story rips along with plenty of familiar Bond staples: evil villains, fast cars and women falling for young Bond's charms. Ian Fleming would be proud. * Guardian * Horowitz is a worthy successor to Ian Fleming, putting 007 back in his true domain... This New Bond is up there with the better Old Bonds... The denouement is a very fine piece of action writing... Horowitz has done splendidly. * Scotsman * Horowitz is a worthy successor to Ian Fleming, putting 007 back in his true domain...

Anthony Horowitz has the discipline and skill of a first-class action writer. * Sunday Express * Exciting high drama... Horowitz stays loyal to the fabulous Fleming formula. And for that he surely deserves another mission guiding the fortunes of the world's favourite superspy. * Daily Express * [Horowitz's Bond] is once again in safe hands, not departing much from Fleming's entertaining formula... Horowitz's light touch and smooth plotting create something close to the ideal holiday read. * Irish Examiner * Anthony Horowitz writes Bond in the style of Fleming... Total brain candy in the best possible fashion. * RTE Guide * Horowitz shows that he knows the Fleming books backwards, offering plot twists that are homages to the master's novels. This nicely imagined book... is an amusing and thought-provoking addition to the post-Fleming bond canon. * The Times *Audiobook of the Week* * An enjoyably compact thriller, with an absolutely killer last line. * Guardian * An enjoyably compact thriller, with an absolutely killer last line. * Guardian * Anthony Horowitz's second James Bond book will keep 007 obsessives happy with martinis, beautiful women and an enormously fat Corsican gangster. * The Times *Best New Novels* * Forever and a Day is an explosive prequel to Casino Royale which promises to please Bond aficionados and a new legion of fans. * Northern Insight **Book of the Month** * This is another great new James Bond novel from Horowitz, who's filling the shoes of Ian Fleming with apparent ease. * Trucking * Highly enjoyable. * Metro * Anthony is an enthusiastic writer who relishes the world of adventure he conveys. * Writing Magazine * A timeless Bond... has all the elements of a rollicking read. * Irish Examiner * A timeless Bond... has all the elements of a rollicking read. * Irish Examiner *
