Format:Hardcover
Nobody Lives Forever is one of Gardner's better efforts; 007 is appropriately hard-edged and his femme fatales are as lissome and desirable as ever. The story isn't particularly original: Bond is being head-hunted (literally) by nefarious terrorist organisation SPECTRE and he has to dodge the assassins and watch out for his friends at the same time. A decent read after a couple of false starts from Gardner; I would recommend this for fans of Fleming's superspy rather than the film versions.

Quality Bond
2 Feb 2004
Format:Hardcover
This is one of the better John Gardner Bond novels. It has a novel plot: Bond not on assignment, but instead the target of a global manhunt. It features some memorable and vicious villains, and a nice amount of plot twists.
Gardner's writing is taut, and we're reminded here that the Bond of the novels may be as suave as the Bond of film, but is considerably more ruthless. He repeats Ian Fleming's classic description of Bond's features as containing a hint of cruelty. Bond's ordeal in this book brings the trait more fully out of him than in other novels.
The first half of the book is particularly good in establishing tension. There are, perhaps, a few plot contrivances, but nothing especially blatant. I've read most of Gardner's Bond novels and would rate this very highly among them.
A great adventure for any James Bond fan!

The best Gardner Bond Title by far.
9 Mar 2001
Format:Hardcover
The suspense is a mile a minute in this novel that sets Bond against SPECTRE for the last time. It has two women for oo7 to womanize and features him at his most efficient and ruthless. It also has a sexy double cross that makes it even more exciting to read.
