About this listen

It begins at a movie studio in Nice where a police raid goes horribly wrong, killing innocent men, women, and even children. It continues in an English prison, where a dead man discloses an intriguing secret about the brutal criminal organization called the Union. The trail leads James Bond to Paris, where he meets the tantalizing movie star Tylyn Mignonne and embarks on a voyage of sensual discovery.

But Tylyn is in mortal danger. Her husband, a volatile French film producer, has not forgiven his glamorous wife for ending their troubled marriage - and he is connected to the Union's thugs.

Meanwhile Bond's friend, French agent Mathis, has disappeared while tracking down the Union's mysterious leader, Le Gerant. Bond's journey takes him to a thrilling underwater brush with death, a chase through the Corsican wilderness, a surprise encounter with an old friend - and a final confrontation with a twisted criminal genius.

Another triumph wonderfully narrated. I am looking forward to enjoying the the next ‘Bond’ installment.

Excellent!!

The conclusion to Benson's Union trilogy is a cracking story, with a twist that I did not see coming. Great to see some of Bond's old allies back too. The only negative for me was some of the "dream" sequences, but that's minor. Simon Vance, as always, performs the narration perfectly.

The Unhappy Union?

I'm a fan of Bond. From the original Fleming books and early movies through the Moore movies (corney but loved) to the present and even the Gardner books from the eighties. But this is a terrible. Clichéd in all the wrong ways, formulaic and predictable. If somebody really insists on writing another Bond then go back to the early days and put yourself in the place of the first readers. Find the new, exotic, dangerous, "novel"? This is just poor rubbish and I won't be bothering with any more.

Oh dear me.....

Not bad but a long way from the best in this audible series. Easy listening and well narrated.
