Trigger Mortis
by Anthony Horowitz
Catching up...
This is the first in Anthony Horowitz’s James Bond series or Extended Series #47.
And...
This book also contains original, never-before-published material from 007 creator/author, Ian Fleming.
007 returns to his roots with this story set in the late 1950’s. Horowitz manages a tricky tightrope walk of presenting Bond as the type of man he was as originally written while pointing out all his failings and still somehow making him heroic despite those flaws.
As an example M says to him:
"I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though lost on me, obviously appealed to that young girl I sent out to evaluate you."
Overall...
This is an entertaining retro version of a James Bond story that is kind of silly but fun.
And...
If you like the Sean Connery movies like Dr. No and Goldfinger then you’d probably enjoy this book. 3.5 stars rounded to 4.
