About this book

What begins as a joyous wedding for Bond's old CIA chum, Felix Leiter, turns into a hellish nightmare--when an evil billionaire drug lord flies into town and his henchmen brutally assassinate Leiter and his bride. Now, Bond is out for blood, and he is prepared to do anything--even give up his license to kill--to avenge the death of his friends.

Who this is for

AI · Sample

Quiet, observational, and lightly philosophical — the prose is the point. Best for readers who already enjoy literary fiction and aren't reading for plot. Frustrates anyone expecting clear stakes.
