Synopsis:- Win, Lose or Die (1989) (Book 23 in the James Bond series)--> Publisher`s Weekly -->Fortunately for Gardner, dyed-in-the wool James Bond fans may be disposed to overlook the lack of credibility and characterization in this latest thriller featuring the superspy. The leaders of Britain, Russia and the U.S. are planning a top-secret summit aboard HMS Invincible. We never learn what they want to talk about, but we do know that BAST (Brotherhood of Anarchy and Secret Terror) is up to some high-level nastiness. Alerted to the threat, British Intelligence sends James Bond to protect the ``heads of state.`` Promoted to captain, Bond is trained on Harrier jump-jets, and narrowly escapes death when a Sidewinder missile intercepts his flight path. Human menaces include ``the Cat,`` a mysterious female terrorist, and ``the Viper,`` head of BAST. A lot of huffing, puffing, padding (``Bond has not shown all his cards``) and sloppy writing (``the first kind of ship of her type``) occur before a limp confrontation that takes place inside the Rock of Gibraltar, with chief villain Bassam Baradj, inanely ``born plain Robert Besavitsky, in the old Hell`s Kitchen area of New York.``Nobody Lives Forever (1986) (Book 20 in the James Bond series) -->Publisher`s Weekly -->If anyone does live forever, it`s likely to be the definitive swashbuckler invented by the late Ian Fleming and starred in Gardner`s fifth tale of James Bond`s feats. Secret agent 007 is driving through France when he learns that his demonic foe Tamil Rahani will pay a fortune to whomever delivers Bond`s head on a silver plate. The entire thug population of Europe is competing for the prize, and the intended victim is lucky that two luscious and daring females are traveling with him. They rescue him from certain death repeatedly as he races to meet his housekeeper, May, and the loyal secretary, Miss Moneypenny, at the clinic in Austria where May is recovering from pneumonia. Holding the winning hand, however, Rahani`s gang has abducted the women and 007 must risk decapitation to save them. The mission takes the hero and his bodyguards to an island off the Florida coast where Rahani is waiting with an authentic guillotine in an impregnable castle. In true comic-book fashion, the gory chapters detail the horrors that kill almost everyone except Bond who obviously won`t die until he wants to.-> the publiser of this HARDBACK book is BCA in 1989 it has 392 pages booksalvation have grade it as Very Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse shipping is Free for UK buyers and at a reasonable charge for buyer outside the UK.
