Rich in plot and surprises, one of the best Bond novels!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Beginning with the murder of two members of a VERY well-organized spy ring known as Cabal, Bond teams up with another MI6 agent to try and find out what happened to the remaining members of the organization and find out who was behind it. Wow! John Gardner has a masterpiece this time. This is one of the best espionage novels I've read. Bond goes up against some of the most sinister and ruthless villains, and in this novel almost nobody can be trusted. The amount of double-crosses and plot twists is astounding, and unlike the more recent Bond movies, the plot is complex and (gasp) logical! As Bond unravels more clues as to who is killing Cabal's agents, he must use every means available to survive, and to stop a cataclysmic event orchestrated by a ruthless organization.Because of the rich and twisting plot, Death Is Forever captures the more sinister elements of the spy world with nothing short of brilliance. HIGHLY recommended.
Amazingly gripping...

Maybe I checked this out from the library expecting not to like it. (The Raymond Benson ones I got I really didn't like.) But as soon as I read the first page, I was hooked. It felt like I was reading another Fleming novel, with agents mysteriously dying with means that would have been used in his day. The more modern era and the relics of the past (the CABAL network and what it's up against) are blended together seamlessly. It kept me hooked until the very end. If you like the Fleming novels and plot-changing surprises, read this. If you prefer the new-millenium Bond, well, I can't say much for your taste, but whatever floats your boat...
Bonds first true post Cold War adventure.

This is one of the most itrigueing and action packed Bond novels ever written! Bond is set against an old H.V.A. or Stasi officer(East German Intelligence)who can't except Communism's failure. It's action till the last page with all the women and gadgets that make Bond James Bond.
how will 007 get out of this one?

Gardner is amazing! i have to agree with the reader that concluded "this book falls short (of pages)"! i have never taken a book in so fast. a triumph! do i dare rank this one up there with some of Mr.Flemming's masterpieces? yes, i do!
DEATH IS FOREVER FALLS SHORT (ON PAGES)...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
The plot and story line were imaginative and fast-paced. The characters were antimated yet believable. Overall, it is my favorite James Bond novel. However, "Death is Forever" by John Gardner has a major problem: it's too short. The story deserved at least 600 more pages. Had "Death is Forever" been expanded, it would have rivaled Tom Clancy's best work to date, "The Cardinal of the Kremlin."
