A review by ja_hopkins
Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz, Ian Fleming
3.0
An interesting addition to the Bond universe that is set between two of the original books. Horowitz's writing is pretty solid, and his attempt to follow Fleming's style is not too bad, if not quite the real thing. Using some of the original Fleming material doubtless helped stylistically, but it seems a tiny bit too forced.
Coming hot on the heals of Goldfinger, Bond is living with Pussy Galore in London, working 9-5 (or thereabouts). However, he is soon thrust into a new case involving SMERSH, and it involves car racing. Having learned to drive an F1 car in a staggeringly short time, Bond heads of to race a Russian agent and foil another poorly conceived plot for world domination.
Not a terrible book, but not up their with the real Bond classics
