Forever and a Day: A James Bond Novel by Anthony Horowitz

Chronologically the first in the James Bond series, Forever and a Day is fun, fast-paced, exciting, and romantic. Set in the sun-soaked French Riviera following the Korean War, the story begins with Bond being promoted to MI6’s Double-O division after the murder of another agent. Officially given a license to kill, 007’s first mission is to connect the dots between the murdered agent and a brutal Corsican drug syndicate. In addition to pitch-perfect banter and a truly evil villain, Horowitz gives Bond fans everything they could possibly want: car chases and fight scenes, martinis and gambling, gunplay and foreplay. Ian Fleming would be proud.
