A review by whitejamaica
For Special Services by John Gardner

Did not finish book.

I really enjoyed Gardner's first Bond novel, License Renewed. Therefore, I had high expectations for his second installation, For Special Services. It starts off well jumping right into some action but then gets bland and dry through the middle part; to the point where I felt he was trying to rewrite Fleming's You Only Live Twice in his own words. I could not finish and I get just over halfway done (p. 154). I hope Icebreaker is better and if its not, I'm done with Gardner.

2/5 Stars
