Ian Jones

Briiliantly written prequel. It establishes several of bond's habits to a person seminal in his life - His vodka martini shaken not stirred (Spoiler he admits it makes no real difference to the taste) and his gold banded moreland's cigarettes. A ripping yarn Horowitz wrote it so much with fleming's style I forgot I was listening to (i love audio books when I'm driving) a book not written by fleming. It seems Ian's estate has carefully chosen who will write james bond. I'm glad they've allowed more stories to be written because Ian was quite lazy (the famous 3 then 2 day Fleming week) in his writing. GREAT Prequel I loved it! The finish was a great twist too. Really shows who bond is.
