After reading some of the previous reviews, I thought I was in for a big letdown. It just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you read! READ THE BOOK! Cold Fall is an espionage masterpiece and I totally enjoyed it! I have been reading John Gardner's James Bond series for over ten years now and I never grow tired of them, although the last two installments (SeaFire & Never Send Flowers) were not up to par with some other the earlier ones. Cold Fall features not one, but FOUR Bond women, a really nasty megalomaniacal villian, plus all of the usual cloak & dagger action that makes James Bond a favorite literary character!
The only problem I have with Cold Fall is that it ended too soon! What will happen to James Bond and the newly reorganized British Secret Service? Will Gardner write another installment? One can only hope so.

Even though others say that John Gardner's James Bond novels do not stand up to Flemmings or even Bensens, I think that he did a spectacular job of continuing the Bond tradition in his own way. His last book, Cold Fall was no exception. John Gardner takes you on a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. He starts you off in the past and then relates it to the present. I think Cold Fall is excellent, way better than any Benson book. Of course nobody does it better than Flemming but Gardner comes close. I suggest to any real Bond fan that they read all of Garnders books.

Gardner's final Bond novel is most likely his best. I admit I may not be the best voice on the subject since this only the second Bond by Gardner I've read. The other one was Seafire. It is all plausible. A terrorist group, COLD, destroys an airliner to silence a blackmailer. Bond is sent to investigate and uncover COLD: Children of the Last Days. It's suspected that an Italian mafia, the Tempesta, is also in this conspiracy. The Bond tradition at its best.
