I admit, I'm a huge James Bond fan, so when my friend directed me towards this book, I was so excited to start reading! This is an edge of your seat espionage thriller that keeps you turning pages deep into the night. The voice of the narrative is just right, capturing the flare of a classic spy novel with excellent pacing, wonderful historical diction and details woven just perfectly into the narrative. I immediately found myself drawn into the story, which ultimately is a reversal of what one would expect: instead of trying to kill Hitler, the goal here is to save him, because if he is deposed, a more reasonable seeming leader could lead to the war continuing indefinitely and the Allies losing. This book is seriously like a Bond movie on the page: it's got the gadgets, girls and double crosses that keep you on the edge of your seat. (and like Bond, Fleming is a bit/LOT of a playboy...lol)  I'm not going to give away the ending, but it's safe to say it satisfies and I'm definitely picking up the first book of this series "Operation Amanda" just as soon as I've hit post on this review. If you love James Bond, you'll love the Ian Fleming Files! Highly recommended!
