For Your Eyes Only

A James Bond Adventure

By: Ian Fleming

Narrated by: Johnny Flynn

A STUNNING COLLECTION OF STORIES THAT SENDS BOND TO BERMUDA, THE BAHAMAS, AND BEYOND

“From a View to a Kill” whisks Bond to the French countryside where he must go undercover to expose a deadly secret-intelligence plot, and in “For Your Eyes Only,” 007 is absorbed into a private vendetta of M’s, blurring the lines between the personal and professional. In “Quantum of Solace,” Bond attends a dinner party in the Bahamas and learns how passion can soon twist into cruelty, while “Risico” forces the secret agent to fight for the lesser of two evils in a smuggling war set amid the Mediterranean. Finally, “The Hildebrand Rarity” lands 007 in an old-fashioned murder mystery at sea, where even he has a secret to keep.

A collection of both classic intrigue and intrepid self-examination, For Your Eyes Only packs full, vibrant worlds into five classic tales.

Good slice of life shorts from Bond’s world

I enjoyed the book but it took me a while to get through it all for such a relatively short title. I’ve come to experience a better appreciation of “Quantum of Solace” and how different it was from the film of the same name. I do recommend it for all the true Bond fans out there.

Not a novel

This is a series of partial short stories. If one isn’t aware then they will be disappointed.
