Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
John Gardner's Goldeneye is an accurate novelisation of the film of the same name with a plot centring on post-communist Russia, its internal factions, historic patriotism and a criminal organisation known as the Janus Crime Syndicate, run by a man with a score to settle against Britain.

The action kicks off with Bond and his old friend 006 on a mission to destroy a Soviet Biochemical Processing Plant, heavily guarded by the KGB. This is his first encounter with General Ourumov and when the action moves to post-Soviet Russia some years later, he finds himself up against him again, this time working for the Janus Crime Syndicate who have stolen the Goldeneye, a powerful piece of Russian space weaponry, with the help of the eccentric computer boffin, Boris Grishenko. The plot, not a classic in itself, is greatly enhanced by the mystery surrounding Janus and the two Russian female characters, the brilliantly named Xenia Onatop, complet ewith killer thighs, and the rather more amenable and attractive, Natalya Simonova.

There is a distinctive Russian flavour to Goldeneye which is interesting to compare to the early Fleming novels involving Smersh and the KGB. As with other John Gardner Bond stories, Goldeneye is an accessible and enjoyable read in its own right, though for die-hard Bond purists, if it's not Fleming, it's 007- lite. --Julian BrosterEND

5.0 out of 5 stars " It was the Best book I have ever read ", 17 Oct 1999
By jclucas@bigpond.com (Gold Coast , Australia) - See all my reviews
Goldeneye not only tells one of the greatest James Bond stories ever made, but it also gives you parts of the story not seen in the blockbuster movie. Iam a great James Bond fan and I really think John Gardner has done a excellent job of this book !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book about our favorite action hero!, 16 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This book was great... Definetly a page-turner. It adds SO much to Pierce Brosnan's 007 debut movie. To name a some... it expands upon the begining, Natalya's scene in Servanya, after the train scene... and so much more. It adds in some erotic sex scenes, gotta dig that. Fleming-style. Everything about this book is well done. Read it. The only disgusting flaw was replacing the classic climax line from the movie. But other that that, near flawless victory.

4.0 out of 5 stars exciting, 3 Sep 2001
By A Customer
It was good to read after I had seen the film and I thought that it was just long enough that it didn't get boring. I found that all the other 007 books were too heavy and hard to understand as they were written in a far older style using older expressions but this was quite modern, yet still had some character.
