For Your Eyes Only

Be transported with five exhilarating Bond short stories

Ian Fleming,

First published in 1960

OVERVIEW

A collection of classic intrigue and intrepid self-examination, For Your Eyes Only packs full, vibrant worlds into five classic tales.

From a View to a Kill whisks Bond to the French countryside where he must go undercover to expose a deadly secret-intelligence plot. In For Your Eyes Only, 007 is absorbed into a private vendetta of M’s, blurring the lines between the personal and professional.

In Quantum of Solace, Bond attends a dinner party in the Bahamas and learns how passion can soon twist into cruelty, while Risico forces the secret agent to fight for the lesser of two evils in a smuggling war set in the Mediterranean. Finally, The Hildebrand Rarity lands 007 in an old-fashioned murder mystery at sea, where even he has a secret to keep.

REVIEWS

‘If you don’t know Bond, For Your Eyes Only is a great place to start. If you think you know him, this collection will deepen your understanding and your appreciation. Either way, you’re certain to enjoy your time with Ian Fleming’s unforgettable creation. He’s a professional, but not without rough edges; determinedly cynical, but driven by some inner decency; larger than life, and yet surprisingly human. All of which makes James Bond what he is: the best in the business’

Barry Eisler

‘Mighty smooth tale-spinning’

New York Herald

‘Expectedly exotic, resilient and potent’
