Icebreaker: A Novel (James Bond 007 Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 642 ratings

An official, original James Bond adventure from a writer described by Len Deighton as a 'master storyteller'. Now with a new introduction from thriller author Tim Glister, to celebrate the book's 40th anniversary.

Bond reluctantly finds himself recruited into a dangerous mission involving an equally dangerous and treacherous alliance of agents from the CIA, the KGB and Israel's Mossad. The team dubbed 'Icebreaker' waste no time double crossing each other, as they try to root out the leader of the murderous National Socialist Action Army, Count Konrad von Gloda, a one time SS officer, who now perceives himself as the New Adolf Hitler.

Icebreaker is the third gripping instalment of John Gardner's Bond series.

It has been my goal to read all of the Bond books in chronologic order. I usually but allow three months or more to pass between the end of one book and the start of the next. I enjoyed this book just as much as any of the previous ones. If you like the 007 books it is likely that you will too!

An enjoyable template for another Gardner Bond novel. Entertaining and well written. How in the world was Bond going to get out of another nasty situation with double agents infiltrating the operation, a mad terrorist leader, and a very motivated Soviet antagonist from the remnants of SMERSH. Gardner embroiders an intelligent plot with misdirection and suspense, holding the tension to the end.

Gardner does a good job with Bond do if you've read the Fleming ones till you know them by heart then these will be a great enjoyment for you ... He keeps Bond in the real mold that was the original and he tells a good action adventure story worthy of the originals ...

Bond is teamed with agents from the KGB (Russian), CIA and Mossad to stop a Nazi terrorist group. For a secret agent book, no one is very secret; everybody knows everybody. Everyone, except Bond and the required evil genius, starts as a good guy, turns out to be a bad guy who turns out to have been a good guy all along. The one exception is a good guy (good gal?) who is one of the agents but, by coincidence is the daughter of Evil Genius /the new Fuhrer. Sometimes, you can have TOO many twists. I have been on a Bond binge: both Fleming and Gardner. I have noticed certain similarities, other than Bond’s way with wine women and cars. Everyone always knows who Bond really is, and Bond is always caught and tortured-probably because everyone always knows who he really is. Overall, a good read.

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2020
Gardner's Bond, in the two books prior to Icebreaker, had me questioning the Fleming estate for allowing the brand to be mishandled and made into a bad caricature of itself, following the disappointing camp model of Roger Moore's tenure in the role in film. This book redeems Gardner (at least up to this point in his chronology). While he attempts in vain to mimic Fleming's engaging description of the personal habits of Bond and unparalleled presentation of locales that would have been exotic to the average British or American audience, Gardner creates a fast-paced, suspenseful story of intrigue and deception in his third outing. As with the last two books, his representation of Bond's relations with women is laughable at best, but in this effort Gardner gives a more believable relationship between Bond and the leading female, while utilizing his entrenched belief that Bond is a sucker for women to work against him as the book progresses. It's not a great book... but it's a readable adventure for fans of the literary Bond.

This book was fun too read.The story was fine and if you are a Bond fan you might enjoy it. I did. Gardner does pick up where Fleming left off. I think a Bond fan will like the book.
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019
This Bond adventure is full of twists and turns. Reading the books in order so far this is the best since Fleming passed in my opinion.
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2015
When I read "License Renewed" I thought 'well, this is disappointing, no more James Bond novels for me', then I gave "For Special Services" an opportunity and I was glad to do so because it was way better tan the first Gardner's Bond novel, now Icebreaker is keeping the good pace from FSS, it was a really fun book with lots of twists every freaking page, the pace is like a mistery movie, every character could be the bad guy (or girl), there were more crosses and double crosses than a Catholic church! I hope the remain of Gardner's Bond books that I haven't read are as fun as this one.

First time reading a Bond book not written by Fleming. Huge order to emulate. Good story. Maybe more attention to the minutae of detail we love from Fleming. Will need to read a few more to be convinced
