Carte Blanche

The New James Bond novel

Written By Jeffery Deaver.

A Brief Synopsis: Bond has been tasked with investigating a possible terrorist threat whilst overseas. Upon returning home to continue the investigation he finds himself unable to operate in his usual manner as his carte blanche status only applies outside the UK. With the investigation moving to South Africa he finds help from the locals but is still hindered due to policy.

Review: Excellent. This adventure novel is sure to set minds racing as to what to expect further into the book. Bond is back globe-trotting and jet-setting to distant horizons. When back home he races around in a Bentley Continental GT - my dream car. Pure class. The characters are well considered for the most part but the villain seemed fairly obvious to me from fairly early on. The settings and details Mr Deaver has used are flawless.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
