WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY SAM LEITH Octopussy * The Property of a Lady * The Living Daylights * 007 in New York ‘This was going to be bad news, dirty work. This was to be murder’ Four classic moments in the life of a spy. From avenging the wartime murder of a friend to sniper duty on the East-West Berlin border, James Bond’s body, mind and spirit are tested to their limits.

The British Secret Service has many enemies. Whether its a sniper in East Berlin, a Russian agent secretly bidding for a Faberge egg, or a retired major in Jamaica with a treacherous secret, it is down to James Bond to neutralize the threat. In these stories the dirty world of international espionage tests Bonds skills to the extreme.

The last collection of James Bond adventures from Ian Fleming, Octopussy and The Living Daylights features four tales of intrigue that push 007 to the limit and find the secret agent questioning where he can go from there… In “Octopussy,” a former operative in the Second World War must face the consequences of past sins when James Bond knocks on the door of his Caribbean fortress, and in “The Property of a Lady” Bond deciphers the elaborate codes of a Sotheby’s bidding war in order to catch a KGB agent. “007 in New York” takes Bond to the titular city to warn an ex-agent of her boyfriend’s secret KGB affiliation. And “The Living Daylights”…

Whether it is tracking down a wayward major who has taken a deadly secret with him to the Caribbean or identifying a top Russian agent secretly bidding for a Fabergé egg in a Sotheby’s auction room, Bond always closes the case—with extreme prejudice. This new Penguin edition comprises four stories, including Fleming’s little-known story “007 in New York,” showcasing Bond’s taste for Manhattan’s special pleasures—from martinis at the Plaza and dinner at the Grand Central Oyster Bar to the perfect anonymity of the Central Park Zoo for a secret rendezvous.

Сборник рассказов вышел в 1966 году.

The last book written by Ian Fleming, but by no means the least. In "Octopussy" a talented but wayward British major pays a high price when his wartime past catches up with him, while in "The Property of a Lady" a Faberge egg leads Bond to a KGB spy. In "The Living Daylights" Bond has a perilous rendezvous in sniper's alley between East and West Berlin, and "007 in New York" (read by Lucy Fleming) sees him sent to America to warn an ex-MI6 operative about a dangerous liaison. All part of the job for 007. This audiobook includes an exclusive bonus interview with Tom Hiddleston.
