For Your Eyes Only by Ian Fleming
70 YEARS OF 007 Meet James Bond, the world's most famous spy, in these landmark 70th anniversary reissues of Ian Fleming's classic series. A collection of both classic intrigue and intrepid self-examination, For Your Eyes Only packs full, vibrant worlds into five classic tales. '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. 'If you don't know Bond, For Your Eyes Only is a great place to start. If you think you know him, this collection will deepen your understanding and your appreciation. Either way, you're certain to enjoy your time with Ian Fleming's unforgettable creation. He's a professional, but not without rough edges; determinedly cynical, but driven by some inner decency; larger than life, and yet surprisingly human. All of which makes James Bond what he is: the best in the business.' Barry EislerIan Lancaster Fleming was born in London on 28 May 1908. On the outbreak of the Second World War he played a key part in British and Allied espionage operations.
His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and introduced James Bond, Special Agent 007, to the world. The first print run sold out within a month. Following this initial success, he published a Bond title every year until his death. The Bond novels have sold more than 100 million copies and inspired a hugely successful film franchise which began in 1962 with the release of Dr No, starring Sean Connery as 007.
