"Trigger Mortis," a dark and riveting novel with as many twists and turns as the Grand Prix Racetrack that makes its appearance in the story, is a fine addition to the James Bond series as written by Anthony Horowitz. Rooted in the historical developments, anxieties, and desires surrounding the time of the Space Age, the book immerses the reader within the setting whilst highlighting the desperate desire of two countries with opposing political ideologies, and a third caught in the middle, to they grapple for dominance on the final frontier. The book's description of women and minorities, as well as parts of the plot, which felt slow, bogged down with detail, or simply not as good as the others within the series, justify the 0.75 deduction from the rating.
