The Facts of Death
(Hodder & Stoughton, Putnam; 1998)
"The
fate of the world, and James Bond, are in capable
hands in this second 007 adventure from Benson...
A postmodern treat for fans and newcomers that lovingly,
if not ironically, duplicates a formula so familiar
that originality would be sacrilege."
(Kirkus Reviews, USA)
"Benson embues his Bond with enough honor,
sexual prowess and action-hero skills to please
the purist and enthrall the novice."
(Publishers Weekly, USA)
"Superb,
totally enjoyable escapist fun in true 007 style-sophisticated,
glamorous, exciting and brilliantly readable."
(South Wales Argus - Newport, UK)
"...in
this, [Benson’s] second attempt to step into
the shoes of the super-hero, he again carries it
off with some aplomb."
(Watford Observer, UK)
"An
entertaining adventure with some rip-roaring action
scenes. James Bond fans will love it."
(Sunderland Echo, UK)
"The author has portrayed Bond as the somewhat amoral character of the original novels and the book is typical of its kind, easily read and full of enough cliffhanging situations, gadgetry, beautiful women, sex, villains and violent death to satisfy any James Bond fan."
(Telegraph & Argus - Bradford, UK)
"Bang
on target for 007 fans."
(Evening News, UK)
