Description
Agent 003, Joanna Harwood, has finally found James Bond after years of searching. All she has to do is get him out of Russia alive and convince him to trust her again. But Bond trusts no one. And he wants revenge on Mora, the monstrous figure at the head of Rattenfänger – a terrorist organisation with links to the past. MI6’s Double O section is in pieces. Moneypenny is captured. Agents have switched sides. And Rattenfänger’s plans for hijacking the cyber-intelligence of the West are finally about to be realised. Bond and the remaining Double Os must work together to save the world – and figure out which of them are still loyal.

The double-Os are back for the third entry in Kim Sherwood's trilogy, and there's so much going on it's hard to know where to start.
It's an intricate plot weaving together threads of many characters. There's a lot of reliance I found on remembering what happened in the first two books, and that is not always my strong suit, so in places I was stumbling a bit. Once that's past though it's a fast paced novel that feels very movie-like as well as being traditional Bond style.
There's so many references to pick up on, and as a long-time fan it is a bit weird in places seeing a Bond novel that's updated to be set now but still making references to things from the original novels and films, with everything having been time shifted in his backstory. And yet that still makes it a lot of fun.
I've really enjoyed this trilogy, and am a bit sad that we probably won't see most of these characters again. But James Bond, of course, will return.
