Death is Forever

John Gardner's twelfth James Bond novel

John Gardner | Author,

First published in 1992

OVERVIEW

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…

REVIEWS

‘As Gardner’s forays into spy vs spy territory go, this is easily his most successful – in the pacing, the intricacy of the plot, the melding of the story and action’

Raritania

‘Exciting storytelling and edge-of-your-seat reading. A more realistic Bond. A must read for the Bond fan’

Universal Exports

‘Possibly the best in the Gardner series so far, paying homage to Fleming whilst incorporating his own trademarks’

Goodreads

‘Filled with white-knuckle moments and cliffhangers’
