Five Stars!!! His name is Steveson, Damian Steveson and his book The Ian Fleming Files: Operation Parsifal is a killer thriller. It is a heart racing, blood pumping thriller about the life of the man who wrote about the man. Man! What man? Why I’m talking about Bond, James Bond. This novel is just as intense as any James Bond Thriller and even more so because it is about the man who created Bond. Flemings life was just as exciting as his alter ego 007. Steveson captures it in a free flowing style that has you jumping and turning, twisting and moving. Never sure what is going to happen next but always knowing that something is about to happen. From the opening page until the last, every step on the way you take an emotional roller coaster on this government agent cheering him on the way whether is escaping launched rockets or Nazi spies, Flemings like Bond maintains his cool under pressure. Not only figuring a way out of his predicament but also thinking of his next appointment or move for the day. How’s that for confidence. Well trained and intelligent, Fleming comes off as a real human being with flaws and weaknesses. This is an excellent and exciting book. I recommend it highly.
