Der Roman zum Film mit Pierce Brosnan Sie ist wunderschön. Sie ist Russin. Und sie ist sehr, sehr gefährlich. Einst arbeitete Xenia für den KGB, doch nun gehört sie zu Janus, einem mächtigen und ehrgeizigen russischen Verbrechersyndikat, das sich nicht weiter um Ideologien schert. Janus strebt nach Geld und Einfluss: zu den ganz normalen Geschäftsmethoden gehören Diebstahl und Mord.

Die Aufklärung einer Flugzeugkatastrophe wird für James Bond zur Besessenheit. Eines Nachts stürzt Flug 229 über dem Washington Airport ab. 435 Passagiere kommen ums Leben, doch nur ein einziges Todesopfer bedeutet Bond etwas: die Principessa Sukie Tempesta, eine einstige Geliebte, mit der er immer noch befreundet ist. Die Suche nach Sukies Mördern stellt sich als der komplizierteste und anspruchsvollste Auftrag in Bonds Karriere heraus. Über Kontinente hinweg folgt Bond einer schwachen Spur ins Herz einer fanatischen Gesellschaft, mörderischer als jede Terroristengruppe. Ihr Codename ist KALT, die Kinder der allerletzten Tage.

Vier Attentate in einer einzigen Woche – M braucht James Bond. In unterschiedlichen Ecken der Welt werden in weniger als einer Woche vier hochkarätige Personen ermordet. Auf den ersten Blick scheint nichts auf einen Zusammenhang hinzudeuten, aber eines ist sicher: Jede Person wurde verfolgt, überfallen und auf eine Weise getötet, die auf sorgfältige Vorbereitung schließen lässt. Dann jedoch wird eine unheimliche Verbindung deutlich: zu jedem Begräbnis wird eine in Blut getauchte Rose geschickt. Als der MI5 um die Unterstützung des MI6 bittet, schickt M seinen besten Mann. Zuerst hält James Bond ein Wochenende im Ausland für ein verlockendes Angebot: besonders wenn er dabei mit Flicka von Grusse zusammenarbeiten darf, einer umwerfenden Schweizer Geheimdienstoffizierin. Doch dann entpuppt sich das Ganze als äußerst gefährlicher Auftrag, der sie nach Athen und Mailand führt … und schließlich auf einen explosiven Showdown in EuroDisney hinausläuft.

James Bonds Lizenz zum Töten wird erneuert – doch wie lange wird er überleben, um sie zu nutzen? James Bond ist wieder im Einsatz, mit der atemberaubenden Flicka von Grusse an seiner Seite. Sein Ziel ist Sir Maxwell Tarn, ein Geschäftsmann, dessen Imperium den ganzen Erdball umspannt und dessen Reichtum zu einem nicht unerheblichen Teil auf illegalem Waffenhandel beruht. Doch selbst Bond ist nicht darauf vorbereitet, wie schnell sich die Ereignisse überschlagen, als eine Geheimoperation in einem Hotel in Cambridge zu einem Attentat in Spanien und einer Neonazi-Verschwörung in Deutschland führt – bis er in Puerto Rico schließlich in eine Falle tappt. Kann 007 rechtzeitig entkommen, um Tarn aufzuhalten?

The night that Flight 229 blew apart on landing at Washington's Dulles Airport, and the almost four hundred passengers aboard were killed, a mission began that would become an obsession for James Bond. Who was responsible for destroying the British-owned aircraft? Was it a straightforward act of terrorism, an assassination aimed at only one person, or a move to put the airline out of business? For Bond the search for answers has a personal meaning: his former lover and old friend the Principessa Sukie Tempesta is listed as one of the ill-fated passengers. In this white-knuckle 007 thriller, John Gardner sends master spy James Bond on the most complex and demanding assignment of his career. Across continents and through ever-changing labyrinths of evil, Bond follows the traces of clues into the center of an organization more deadly than any terrorist army - a fanatical society code-named Cold, Children of the Last Days. What he finds there could very well spell his own last days.

(From the Back Cover) 'I want both of you to learn, and then think, deduce, try and find the answer to the puzzle of your predecessors' deaths. Up to it, are you?' The Cold War is over. After two British agents die under mysterious and strangely old-fashioned circumstances in Germany, Bond is paired up with beautiful CIA agent 'Easy' St. John. He's been assigned to track down the surviving members of 'Cabal', a Cold War-era intelligence network that received a mysterious and unauthorised signal to disband. It's not long before Bond and Easy find themselves playing a life-or-death game as they try to figure out who they can trust. All the while, Cabal agents are dying one by one...

This compilation of essays and reviews, gathered posthumously from the New York Times Book Review and other publications, solidifies John Gardner's legacy as a consummate teacher and controversial critic with a provocative sense of humor. Writing about his fellow craftsmen, John Gardner offers piercing insights into those whose works he admired and those whose works he didn't. In exacting unapologetic evaluations upon such writers as Saul Bellow, Vladimir Nabokov, Philip Roth, John Cheever, Larry Woiwode, Joyce Carol Oates, and John Updike, Gardner separates genuine fiction from fakery, careful not to spare his own writings in the process, and in doing so, he displays his influences and wide–reaching observations of the literary life. Refreshingly unpredictable and self–aware, this collection lays bare the core qualities of lasting fiction and is essential reading for anyone interested in American literature.
