LEGENDARY AGENT JAMES BOND CONFRONTS AN ENEMY UNLIKE ANY HE'S FACED BEFORE

James Bond is not an easily intimidated man, but it's hard not to feel unnerved in the presence of Mr. Big. A ruthless Harlem gangster who uses superstition and fear to control his vast criminal empire, he's also one of SMERSH's top American operatives.

Mr. Big has been smuggling British pirate treasure to New York from a remote Jamaican island and funneling the proceeds to Moscow. With help from Solitaire, Mr. Big's beautiful and enigmatic Creole fortune teller, and his old friend Felix Leiter of the CIA, 007 must locate the crime lord's hideout, sabotage his operation, and reclaim the pirate hoard for England.

      Adjoa Andoh, a Shakespearean-trained actress and Golden Voice, is a great choice to narrate this James Bond classic. Andoh scales back the superhero image associated with the bombastic Bond films and returns 007 to his literary roots, dry and elegant. The second in the Ian Fleming series takes Bond on an underworld journey to Jamaica via New York City as he tracks Mr. Big, a gangster selling pirate booty who may be working for the Russians. Andoh highlights Fleming's literary strengths: economy of language, cleverly constructed and occasionally meandering plots, and willingness to go lurid--as when Bond has his finger broken by Tee Hee, Mr. Big's henchman. Thanks to Andoh's sophisticated voicings and strong pacing, Fleming's work retrieves its dignity. R.W.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
