ROLE OF HONOUR by John Gardner (Hardback)

James Bond abandons his 007 status and resigns from the service. John Gardner's fiendish plot embroils Bond with a computer wizard absconding from his duties at the Pentagon, a sinister mercenary terrorist training army and a hare-brained flight over Geneva while Summit Peace Talks are in progress, before horour is fully restored. Book 4 in the John Gardner Bond series.

'John Gardner has gradually worked himself into his own role as owner-creator of James Bond, but his Bond is more intelligent, more sensitive than the original.' - Marghanita Laski, LISTENER
