What a magnificent and sparkling new espionage novel in what promises to be a truly remarkable new book series.Ian Fleming is world known that the creator of James Bond. What is less know is that Fleming had his own daring and dangerous experiences working with British Intelligence during WWII. Thanks to the sterling writing skills of Damian Stevenson, "The Writer has become the hero!"The Ian Fleming Files:Operation Armada has all elements that continue to keep Fleming's Bond books as popular as ever. Razor tight prose, fascinating characters like Colonel Remy, Eddie Watteau, Rene Melik, Denise Astier (and even a splendid turn by Noel Coward!)and a plot line that absorbs the reader from the first page. The writer creates a truly accurate wartime atmosphere..one can almost feel the London fog! All of the diverse locales are perfectly rendered. This book is a winner in every way!I am so pleased that Mr. Stevenson plans more novels in the Ian Fleming Files series. The Ian Fleming Files: Operation Armada is a hard act to follow, but given Damian Stevenson's abundant skills and knowledge,I have little doubt that...to quote the most famous wartime movie.."This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship"A JAMES MASON COMMUNITY BOOK CLUB MUST READRICK FRIEDMANFOUNDERTHE JAMES MASON COMMUNITY BOOK CLUBflag
