Rezensionen

The super spy is back, with a fresh injection from novelist and screenwriter extraordinaire, Anthony Horowitz. The expert in suspense takes us back to the beginning of James Bond's story... the story rips along with plenty of familiar Bond staples: evil villains, fast cars and women falling for young Bond's charms. Ian Fleming would be proud. Guardian

"It's almost uncanny how well Mr. Horowitz summons Bond's mindset . . . Yet this Bond also feels the winds of change: 'He had his licence to kill. But was it possible that in this new, more questioning age, that licence might have expired?' A drop of retro pleasures, a pinch of things to come; shaken, not stirred." - Wall Street Journal

"I'll tell you who's an absolutey wonderful writer, Anthony Horowitz. So many brilliant books, lincluding his new Bond novel With A Mind to Kill. - Richard Osman

"Horowitz uses his own brand of fast-paced dialogue and gripping storytelling to revitalize the Bond franchise while working within the confines of Ian Fleming's original world." - BookTrib
