The Man With the Golden Gun (James Bond (Original Series) #13)
This was a fairly straight forward Bond story, almost like more of an undercover police story than a secret agent tale, but still good. He's out to take care of "The Man with the Golden Gun," a very high level assassin working for the bad guys. There's a big plot tying the KGB into the mob that Bond uncovers as well, leading to a climactic battle aboard a train.I think some may not like this one as much due to its shorter length and somewhat simplified storyline, but to me it fit right in with
Found at a thrift store. Research for a WIP. This is apparently the last and least developed novel of Flemming's lifetime. Published even though the author died before he could get past the first draft. No wonder it was terrible.Not much help to me.
Barely three stars. I think this was the last completed Bond before Fleming's death. Published after he died. I actually read this when it was serialized in Playboy. Date read is a guess.
Many reviewers mark this as their least favorite Bond novel but I for one still found much to enjoy. It is the final novel in the series (two short novellas follow) and reportedly was written in Ian Flemings last year of life and in fact was published posthumously. Indeed, it is one of the shortest of Flemings novels and most agree that he simply didnt have time to flesh out and polish the final manuscript.The story begins with a rather bizarre segment wherein Bond has been brainwashed to
Almost to the end of my goal to finish the original Ian Fleming series before the year ends and yup it's a screenshot now. James Bond starts this book as Brainwashed and he tries to kill M. And then ah well just like that, he is cured after some time and then Bond goes in search of a fabled assassin who is also called the Man with the Golden Gun and of course Bond is able to find him just one go and then Bond joins the villain as his assistant and looking for his chance. And wasting Lotsa time
Incredible dedication to a series! If I ever make it through a series -even half as many books as this series - youll be the first person I share

ublished the year after Fleming's death in 1964, it is a matter of debate whether "Gun" was properly finished by Fleming or reworked by other hands. Clearly it lacks the same glossy polish of earlier Bond novels, retreading plot points in routine, humorless fashion. Sent to Jamaica to kill "Pistols" Scaramanga, a hired killer responsible for shooting several fellow agents, Bond blunders his way in no time at all into his target's confidence, despite the fact Scaramunga has been warned an EnglishThis was a fairly straight forward Bond story, almost like more of an undercover police story than a secret agent tale, but still good.
