A handsome edition of the first James Bond novel, with an introduction by John Banville.

This lavish edition, with artwork by acclaimed illustrator Fay Dalton and an introduction by Booker Prize-winning author John Banville, pays homage to the enormous success of Ian Fleming’s iconic novels. Few characters have come to define a genre as James Bond has done, and this introduction to his world, with its merciless villains, spectacular dangers, ill-fated romances and exotic settings, is Fleming at his best.
