4.0 out of 5 stars Gardner's best mix of sex and violence for a Bond story., March 8, 2001

"fcoleman@prodigy.net" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cold Fall (Hardcover)

The plot is a little to Americanized because it has bond fighting COLD, a militia type group in the United States. Also you will have to read Nobody Lives Forever and Seafire to understand this one. Bond also gets over Fredricka Von Gruse a little to easily, but the sex and violence that make James Bond James Bond were plentiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gardner's best outing as Bond., August 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cold Fall (Paperback)

Gardner's final Bond novel is most likely his best. I admit I may not be the best voice on the subject since this only the second Bond by Gardner I've read. The other one was Seafire. It is all plausible. A terrorist group, COLD, destroys an airliner to silence a blackmailer. Bond is sent to investigate and uncover COLD: Children of the Last Days. It's suspected that an Italian mafia, the Tempesta, is also in this conspiracy. The Bond tradition at its best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Burr??, July 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cold Fall (Paperback)

The story plot is excellence but if the reader did not read "Seafire" he/she will have a understanding the second part of the story.
