About this ebook
James Bond has been partnered with an Israeli Mossad agent, Pete Natkowitz, and assigned to work with the KGB to infiltrate a terrorist group. The group, The Scales of Justice, are demanding the trial of a suspected Nazi war criminal and each day of delay brings another death.
Posing as a TV crew, Bond and the other agents attempt to discover the group's real motive. When Bond realises that their true aim is to supply Iraq with nuclear weapons just before the United Nations-led coalition invades, he faces the most crucial mission of his life.
The Man From Barbarossa is John Gardner’s eleventh Bond novel.

Reviews for The Man From Barbarossa
28 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was pretty disappointed in this entry in Gardner's Bond run. It feels like Gardener wrote a generic espionage story (which the man is damned good at) and plugged in the name James Bond for the hero. This is a decent spy story, just not a Bond story.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read that this was John Gardner's favorite Bond book. I had a hard time trying to figure out what was going on in this one. It seemed to be that more time was needed for character development and the overall story.
