Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The love-hate relationship between politics and the media is a fitting 90's theme for a James Bond plot, and Raymond Benson's novelisation of Roger Spottiswoode's film Tomorrow Never Dies embraces it fully with wit, irony and excitement.

As in the film, the plot is excellent. Immensely powerful media mogul Elliot Carver takes his obsession with World domination beyond "delivering tomorrow's news today" to more sinister places--not least playing off the Chinese and British in a series of military exchanges. James Bond crosses paths with an opposite and equally impressive agent of the Peoples Republic of China, Wai Lin, in Hamburg on Carver's trail, before the plot moves onto Saigon and the South China Sea. The interesting and exotic locations will be relished by Bond aficionados. Unlike the film, the novel relies on the strength of the characters of Wai Lin and Carver, rather than the slightly over-exuberant and brash action-packed scenes and froth, and it provides us with the opportunity to delve into the background of these impressive and well-rounded figures.

Even if you arrive at Tomorrow Never Dies after seeing the film, you are likely to get much more out of the printed adventure. --JulianBroster

Review
‘Welcome back, Mr Bond. We’ve been waiting for you . . . Benson has gone back to Bondian basics in a fast-moving world of bedrooms, firm breasts, betting and bruises.’ (Independent on Sunday )

‘Spectacular chases, gory killings and a spot of sado-masochism . . addicts of the genre will love it.’ (The Times )

"Will have Bond fans cheering." (Publishers Weekly (Doubleshot) )

‘Bond is back in hugely entertaining style’ (Manchester Evening News on Zero Minus Ten )

‘Bond is back…and there are enough guns, girls, boats and bombs to keep any 007 fan happy’ (Daily Mail on Zero Minus Ten )

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the film!, 30 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I don't normally read "books of the film" but after reading Benson's other two original Bond novels ("Zero Minus Ten" and "The Facts of Death") I decided to give this a try. I did not care much for the film. Benson, however, must have added his own bits (unless they were dropped from the final film) which made the book much more entertaining than the movie. The characters were more fleshed out and the plot made more sense. Not as top-notch as Benson's two original books, but still a surisingly good read. Well done!

3.0 out of 5 stars A not-bad novelisation, 11 Jun 2003
By J. Giles "jggcube" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As Raymond Benson's first Bond movie novelisation this is an entertaining, but workmanlike, read. This is one of the few movie books that does not simply ape the movie, as it is based on a version of the script that was not used, and contains many interesing sequences and sub plots that never made it to the screen. The area where the book fails is mainly in the action sequences, which are too vaguely described and never really come together. This is made up for somewhat in the excellent dialogue and a genuine effort on the part of the author to flesh out the characters.
On the whole, I would say this book is inferior to the novels of GoldenEye and The World is not Enough, but would reccomend it over the book of Die Another Day.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good first novelisation from Benson, 3 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I was pleased with this novelisation of the film Tomorrow never dies by Raymond Benson. As with his, 'The World is not enough' tie-in he ellaborates and fleshes-out the characters more than the film was able to and also adds his own scenes which may or may not have been taken from the film's final cut. My favourite part was where he described Carver's past and how he sought revenge on his father for disowning him. However, the ending in this book was not as action packed as the one in the movie which was a bit disappointing. Overall though I liked this book and comparing it to all the other Benson novels it does rank highly.
