Book Synopsis
JAMES BOND AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE
Unlike the rest of the books in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, The Spy Who Loved Me is told from the perspective of a woman who fell for 007--and owes him her life.
Vivienne Michel, a precocious French Canadian raised in the United Kingdom, feels like a foreigner in every land. With only a supercharged Vespa and a handful of American dollars, she travels down winding roads into the pine forests of the Adirondacks. After stopping at the Dreamy Pines Motor Court and being coerced into caretaking at the vacant motel for the night, Viv opens the door to two armed mobsters and realizes being a woman alone is no easy task. But when a third stranger arrives―a confident Englishman with a keen sense for sizing things up―the tables are turned.
Still reeling in the wake of Operation Thunderball, Bond had planned for his jaunt through the Adirondacks to be a period of rest before his return to Europe. But that all changes when his tire goes flat in front of a certain motel...
Review Quotes
''Fleming has set his stamp on the story of action and intrigue . . . his proper place in literature is with those demi-giants of an earlier day: Jules Verne, Rider Haggard, Conan Doyle.'' -- Kingsley Amis
''Ian Fleming keeps you riveted. His narrative pulls with the smooth power of Bond's Thunderbird.'' -- Sunday Telegraph (UK)
