A bit outdated, but a good listen on the road

I am glad that Audible has added John Gardner's James Bond novels to its collection. I've read these when I was in high school and enjoyed it very much. The voice artist is doing a splendid job of bringing James Bond alive. Yet this is the Bond of the Cold War, a bit dated with his technology. Gardner also tells a story that is most often quite predictable. Yet, if you are looking for action, some suspense and a not-too-in-depth listen with an old-time favourite as the hero, this is a good listen. It comes highly recommended to hardcore 007 fans.
