I can't believe that I waited as long as I did to read this!  I loved the first book and was so excited to see that the second had come out but somehow it got buried in the one-click nightmare my Kindle has become!When I sat down to read it, I forgot about everything and finished it over the course of one snowy evening.  Ian Fleming, as characterized by Damian Stevenson, is one of the most fun, interesting spies in fiction.  I can't wait to see what his next adventure will be!In this book, Ian is asked to do what seems like the most impossible of things -- protect Hitler himself!  With a car chase that gets your blood pumping right from the start, this story grabs on and doesn't let go!  With a new cast of shady characters (and a couple returning friends), Ian Fleming must make certain that the enemy of the free world stays alive, despite his personal thoughts on the subject.  Sexy women, high adventure and amazing gadgets fill the pages.While I am not an expert on history or WWII, I don't have to be to enjoy the story and the adventure.  Mr. Stevenson does a fabulous job of writing this tale of heroism in a way that I don't have the time to stop and question how it was they made a shoe-phone or laser guided pigeons (neither of which actually show up, sadly) in the 1940's.  The action is fast paced, the dialogue witty and the bad guys diabolical, all the things needed to make a British spy thriller, well, thrilling!
