The Man with the Golden Gun
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
In a highly secret office somewhere in London, a murder is to be attempted. M is to be the victim, and the assassin is to be James Bond.
Bond, believed dead for a year following the events of You Only Live Twice, returns to England. Brainwashed by the KGB, he believes his mission is to assassinate M.
After his mind is "scrubbed," he is given a chance to redeem himself and prove he can once again be trusted. The mission: go to the Caribbean and track down one of the deadliest freelance hit men in the world, Francisco Scaramanga, the one they call the Man with the Golden Gun. He has built a deadly laser for the express purpose of killing, and with his single-action, gold-plated Colt .45 and deadeye accuracy, Scaramanga is deemed too deadly to live. And 007 had better take him out as quickly as possible, or he may just be next on the long list of British Secret Service numbers retired by the Man with the Golden Gun.

- content: The story feels as if (like Bond himself in this novel) author Fleming were just coming off a rough patch, both mentally and physically. The one-dimensional plot, the clichéd henchmen, the overwrought title character all churn through a formulaic 007 tale set in sunny Jamaica. Bond occasionally redeems himself with suaveness, but if it weren't for the restrained and very British performance by Robert Whitfield, this would be a "must-miss." Whitfield, as usual, nails dialect, mood, and pace so well that some listeners might overlook the weak story. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
- premium: True
- source:
- content: Most people don't think of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels as great literature, but that's exactly how Kenneth Branagh, one of our finest actors, narrates this one. His performance is notable for exploring the subtleties of the villain Scaramanga and focusing on Bond's interior life--both of which may surprise those who know 007 only through the films. The setting, more important here than in most novels, comes across as sensuous and menacing. There are moments when Branagh's voice goes very quiet--perhaps too quiet if you're listening in the car--but the effect is mesmerizing. Some traditionalists might prefer Bond to have a Scots accent, but that's a minor quibble with a marvelous reading. D.M.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
