Bond fails in his mission and is ‘unbrainwashed’ by Sir James Molony at The Park. It is also a Cold War thriller which can be easily compared to the best of John Le Carré, Len Deighton and, of course, Ian Fleming.īond has been through the mill, most recently during the events of You Only Live Twice (1964) and The Man With The Golden Gun (1965) in which an amnesiac Bond has been brainwashed by Colonel Boris of the KGB to kill M. In With A Mind To Kill, Horowitz presents an authentic version of Fleming’s character at a later stage in his career. Trigger Mortis (2015) successfully recreated mid-series Bond followed by a fresher, pre- Casino Royale 007 in Forever and a Day (2018).
Horowitz’s previous two Bonds were favourably compared with Ian Fleming.
James Bond returns in Anthony Horowitz’s third and, it would appear, final fling as the official biographer of James Bond’s literary adventures.
