Reviews
'Deaver, as fans of his Lincoln Rhyme and Kathryn Dance thrillers would expect, has clearly done his homework. . . . the most impressive feature of Carte Blanche is the ingenuity of the breathless, blood-thirsty plot. A master of misdirection, Deaver manufactures more surprises than anyone flogging an old warhorse can be expected to produce. . . . Kingsley Amis, John Gardner and Sebastian Faulks are among those who have tried to bring Bond back to life. Deaver, though, is in a class of his own: nobody's done it better.' The Evening Standard (London), âThis terrific new pastiche will amply reward Bond fans and possibly bring new readers into the fold. Deaver ( Edge ), an avowed fan of the Fleming canon, has set the novel in the post-9/11 present, and Bond, that icon of the 1960s, handles the transition perfectly. . . . The plot is predictable in a purely Bond-ian way (credibly incredible), but also intricate and inventive, surprising and satisfyinga testament to Deaverâs skill as a storyteller. . . . Fleming purists may balk at the hint of a New Age sensitivity in Deaver's Bond, but they will recognize one of the world's most enduring fictional characters: competent, courageous, charming, and cool.â Publishers Weekly, "Crucially, the novel proves itself worthy of the 007 logo on its spine by presenting us with one of the most bone-chillingly creepy bad guys in history. . . . Deaver's immaculate sense of pace comes into its own. While giving Bond fans enough of the trinkets they deserve in an official novel, he also keeps the narrative pacey throughout and still allows our hero a few crucial moments of modern self-reflection. . . . It's hard to imagine anyone not being impressed by this novel. " The Independent (UK), "After 28 suspense novels, there is no doubt that Deaver knows his way around a thriller plot, and Bond fans should be satisfied with the rollicking pace of 007's new adventure. . . . Deaver is a master of the twist in the tale and he deploys it here with cinematic verve, keeping the reader biting their nails until the last minute. . . . But the author's affection for Bond and for all the tropes that surround him is abundantly clear, so that Carte Blanche reads like a lovingly crafted homage rather than deliberate pastiche. Deaver's Bond is quite recognisably Bond, but a new, streamlined incarnation for a new generation of global fears." The Guardian (UK), " Carte Blanche is a fantastic book. . . . Deaver knows psychology and it shines here. Moreover, he knows human relationships . . . as [Ian Fleming's stepdaughter] best summarized it, Jeffery Deaver truly got it." Ann Arbor News, âA page-turning, action packed rip-roaring novel with plenty of twists and surprises.â Durham Herald-Sun, âThere have been other Fleming impersonators, including Kingsley Amis and Sebastian Faulks, but the author of The Bone Collector is the biggest international name to take the job. He is also one of the worldâs smoothest, most devious, thriller writers a far better craftsman than Fleming, in fact. So could he assume Flemingâs identity rather than write another Jeffery Deaver novel only with a hero called Bond? And could he, for that matter, resist thriller publishingâs current obsession with relentless action inspired by the success of the Bourne movie franchise and indeed Quantum Of Solace ? The answers are emphatically âYes.â Deaver preserves his bookâs timeless feel by largely ignoring modern geopolitics and pitting Bond against a traditionally barking villain . . . [and] adds a series of twists that reveal a Bond with more Sherlockian intelligence than Flemingâs.â The Telegraph (London), 'This terrific new pastiche will amply reward Bond fans and possibly bring new readers into the fold. Deaver ( Edge), an avowed fan of the Fleming canon, has set the novel in the post-9/11 present, and Bond, that icon of the 1960s, handles the transition perfectly. . . .

Fleming purists may balk at the hint of a New Age sensitivity in Deaver's Bond, but they will recognize one of the world's most enduring fictional characters: competent, courageous, charming, and cool.' Publishers Weekly, "Ian Fleming's estate made a superb choice when it turned to thriller writer Jeffery Deaver for this summer's James Bond reboot Carte Blanche. . . . Familiar touches about, from M and Moneypenny to exotic locales. Then, too, Deaver adds a knowing wink . . . A spry spy bash not to be missed.' Christian Science Monitor, âFleming was a master of succinct plotting and deft characterization, his books deceptively slim but containing so much. Deaver too is a genius and this publishing marriage was truly made in heaven. Bond fans will enjoy Deaverâs slightly mischievous take on Ian Fleming. Deaver fans will enjoy the taut plotting and the action scenes and, by the way, it is going to make a great movie.â The Sunday Express (London), â Carte Blanche is a fantastic book. . . . Deaver knows psychology and it shines here. Moreover, he knows human relationships . . . as [Ian Flemingâs stepdaughter] best summarized it, Jeffery Deaver truly got it .â Ann Arbor News, "Ian Fleming's estate tapped American novelist Deaver to pen a new James Bond thriller, and the pairing is as smooth as vodka and vermouth. Yes, the villains are creepy and the women brainy and beautiful, but in a clever reboot, this 007 (who served in Afghanistan) comes armed with a tricked-out cell phone and an appealing sense of empathy." Parade, 'There have been other Fleming impersonators, including Kingsley Amis and Sebastian Faulks, but the author of The Bone Collector is the biggest international name to take the job.

Malcolm Jones, Newsweek Magazine, "10 Must-Read Summer Books", 'Deaver, if anything, has written a 007 thriller that is superior to the best of Fleming.' San Jose Mercury News, âDeaver, if anything, has written a 007 thriller that is superior to the best of Fleming.â San Jose Mercury News, "Ian Flemingâs estate tapped American novelist Deaver to pen a new James Bond thriller, and the pairing is as smooth as vodka and vermouth.

The Sunday Express (London), âJeffery Deaver accepted one of the greatest literary challenges of the new millennium when he agreed to write a new James Bond novel. . . . With Carte Blanche , [he] somehow manages to spin a top-notch 21st-century spy thriller while both respecting Bond and reinventing him.â Washington Independent Review of Books, 'A page-turning, action packed rip-roaring novel with plenty of twists and surprises.' Durham Herald-Sun, "A magnificently manic, impeccably researched and at times gory plot, with Deaver's trademark misdirection and twists flying ." The Washington Post, "Jeffery Deaver accepted one of the greatest literary challenges of the new millennium when he agreed to write a new James Bond novel. . . . With Carte Blanche, [he] somehow manages to spin a top-notch 21st-century spy thriller while both respecting Bond and reinventing him." Washington Independent Review of Books

Excellent seller -- good communication, item exactly as described, reasonably priced, well packed. Seller shipped immediately but the book took over half a month to arrive, due to the carrier used on the first leg, to get the package to USPS.
