About this ebook
Two female agents of Operation Cream Cake - double agents and honey traps against the KGB - are murdered. Bond must find the others and conduct them to safety before they meet a similar fate.
In a race against time, Bond travels to Ireland and the KGB is soon on the scene. But all is not as it seems and Bond needs all his wits to negotiate the labyrinth of double-crossing that leads him to a bewildering showdown in a remote corner of the Kowloon province of Hong Kong, where, weaponless, he is hunted by four assassins.
No Deals, Mr. Bond is the sixth in the bestselling series created by John Gardner, and one of the most original and unpredictable.

Reviews for No Deals, Mr. Bond
48 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Merely OK espionage adventure. Bond is assigned to protect former agents of a British operation. Gardner gives us a decent secret agent thriller, but the character merely shares a name with Fleming's creation. Gardner's Bond has none of the characterization associated with the more famous version, whether in Fleming's books or the film series. Good book if you're looking for a thriller, but not if you're the mood for classic Bond.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Pretty decent.
