A review by a_writer_guy
Carte Blanche by Jeffery Deaver

3.0

Bond takes on a whole new feel in this novel. He's no longer a part of MI6, but has a different position with England's equivalent to Homeland Security which gives him carte blanche (hello, title) to protect his country how he sees fit. The story that Deaver creates for Bond is classic Bond and the villain has that weird aspect to him that comes with so many Bond villains. This was a really fun ride with Bond, and I could see a new series of Bond novels emerging in Carte Blanche's wake.
