James Bond
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I bought this as a gift for my son. He is a collector and enjoyed the book very much.
Gardner's best outing as Bond.

Gardner's final Bond novel is most likely his best. I admit I may not be the best voice on the subject since this only the second Bond by Gardner I've read. The other one was Seafire. It is all plausible. A terrorist group, COLD, destroys an airliner to silence a blackmailer. Bond is sent to investigate and uncover COLD: Children of the Last Days. It's suspected that an Italian mafia, the Tempesta, is also in this conspiracy. The Bond tradition at its best.
Gardner's best since The Man From Barbossa

a book to be read and re-read. full of suprises; you don't know who to trust! i loved the way it tied in w/ other stories and past events... just keep in mind that some times even the best of friends can be pretty COLD.
Cold Fall is a RED HOT Delight!

After reading some of the previous reviews, I thought I was in for a big letdown. It just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you read! READ THE BOOK! Cold Fall is an espionage masterpiece and I totally enjoyed it! I have been reading John Gardner's James Bond series for over ten years now and I never grow tired of them, although the last two installments (SeaFire & Never Send Flowers) were not up to par with some other the earlier ones. Cold Fall features not one, but FOUR Bond women, a really nasty megalomaniacal villian, plus all of the usual cloak & dagger action that makes James Bond a favorite literary character!The only problem I have with Cold Fall is that it ended too soon! What will happen to James Bond and the newly reorganized British Secret Service? Will Gardner write another installment? One can only hope so.
The first and best Bond book I read.

This book was outstounding. I am in the process of reading it again. I would like to see it made into a movie.
