James Bond is back for another adventure. The Ian Flemming Estate chose acclaimed
author William Boyd to write the newest addition to the Bond canon, Solo, in which
Agent 007 is sent to West Africa to squash the rebel forces in a civil war. But of course, nothing is ever as it seems,
and Bond must cross the Atlantic and connect the dots in this gripping
thriller. So grab yourself a martini and
sit down with this intense story full of breathtaking twists, heart-stopping
action, and, of course, Bond, James Bond.
If you’re in the mood for some more spy
action, here are a couple more books to satisfy your sneaky urges.
Citadel by Kate
Mosse: While war rages across Europe in 1942, a group of all-female operatives,
codenamed Citadel, fight to free their home from the Germans by smuggling
refugees over the surrounding mountains and sabotaging the occupiers at every
chance. These women’s
struggle will also reveal an ancient secret that, if in the wrong hands, could
change the course of history.
And for some real life spy adventures, we have Dark Invasion by Howard Blum: In the
beginning of WWI, Germany is angry that the supposedly neutral America has
become a trading partner with the Allies, giving them a distinct
advantage. They then launch a plot to disrupt
trade through terrorism and sabotage on American soil, and it’s
up to NYPD Police Inspector Tom Tunney and his team of agents to unravel the
conspiracy, find the culprits, and stop the bombs before more damage is done.
