On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

£10.00

Ian Fleming’s 11th James Bond novel opens high up in the Swiss Alps, where SPECTRE leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld hatches another evil plot to dominate the world. Full of thrilling episodes that have nothing to do with the modern world, such as, “A Lancia Spyder with its hood down tore past him, cut in cheekily across his bonnet and pulled away, the sexy boom of its twin exhausts echoing back at him. It was a girl driving, a girl with a shocking pink scarf tied round her hair. And if there was one thing that set James Bond really moving, it was being passed at speed by a pretty girl,” On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is one of the finest of Fleming’s Bond novels, and is the only one in which Bond actually falls in love and marries. It is also seen as the book in which Fleming developed Bond’s character more than before, showing an emotional side that was not present in the previous stories. This is the fifth printing of the Pan paperback edition, published in 1965.
