Role of Honour: A James Bond thriller

Description

'People notice things and word around Whitehall is that Commander Bond is living a shade dangerously - gambling, the new Bentley, er...ladies, money changing hands...' Following scandal and his shock resignation from Britain's Secret Intelligence Service James Bond becomes a gun for hire; able and willing, to sell his lethal skills to the highest bidder. And SPECTRE, it seems, are eager to have the disgraced British super spy on their payroll. But before he can be fully embraced by his new employer - and deadliest enemy - 007 must first prove his loyalty. And in doing so he must threaten with nuclear annihilation everything he has fought his whole life to defend. Until honour is fully restored. Gardner's stunning reinvention of Bond secured critical acclaim and blockbusting sales around the world. ROLE OF HONOUR, the fourth book in the series, keeps 007 at No.1.

John Gardner served with the Fleet Air Arm and Royal Marines before embarking on a long career as a thriller writer, including international bestsellers The Nostradamus Traitor and The Garden of Weapons. In 1981 he was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to revive James Bond in a brand new series of novels.
