About this ebook
When the body of a mysterious woman is found carrying the phone number of James Bond, Bond is called in by M to help the investigation. But before he can even reach headquarters he is nearly run off the road in a high-speed motorway chase. Someone wants Bond dead.
Then Bond discovers that the woman was a member of a cult known as ‘The Meek Ones’, with murky links to a wealthy arms dealer. Soon, hideous acts of terrorism begin to roll out across Britain and Bond finds himself in a race against time to track down the faceless criminal behind the horror . . .
Scorpius is the seventh thrilling title in the bestselling Bond series by John Gardner.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This did not really feel like a Bond novel to me, at least based on the last 20 or so I have read. It seemed a little goofy. 3.4
