    About this ebook

    Bond goes to the Caribbean and track down Francisco Scaramanga, who has built a deadly laser for the express purpose of killing. With his gold-plated Colt.45 and his deadeye accuracy, Scaramanga is deemed too deadly to live.

    James Bond—’twisted like a dying animal on the ground and iron in his hand cracked viciously…’

    ‘Pistols’ Scaramanga—professional assassin for the KGB and other criminal organisations. A paranoiac and sexual fetishist, he used a gold-plated Colt with silver bullets to avenge himself upon humanity.

    Mary Goodnight—’a naked arm smelling of Chanel No. 5 snaked round Bond’s neck, and warm lips kissed the corner of his mouth.’

    “Fleming keeps you riveted.”—Sunday Telegraph

    “Some of the best ingredients of the Bond sagas”—Bristol Evening News

    Ian Fleming

    Ian Lancaster Fleming was born in London in 1908. His first job was at Reuters news agency, after which he worked briefly as a stockbroker before working in Naval Intelligence during World War Two. His first novel, Casino Royale, was published in 1953 and was an instant success. Fleming went on to write thirteen other Bond books as well as two works of nonfiction and the children’s classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The Bond books have earned praise from figures such as Raymond Chandler, who called Fleming “the most forceful and driving writer of thrillers in England” and President Kennedy, who named From Russia with Love as one of his favorite books. The books inspired a hugely successful series of film adaptations that began in 1962 with the release of Dr. No. He was married to Ann O'Neill, with whom he had a son, Caspar. He died in 1964.
