Review: Terrific Summer Read (or Any Time of Year)

The Ian Fleming Files: Operation Armada can only be what I hope is the first in a long series of books about the creator of James Bond.  Set during WWII, the book has the detail, flair and solid storytelling of the original Bond novels, but a personality all its own.  The book has a brisk pace, but is dense with detail.  As your mind begins to fill in the scene, writer Damian Stevenson is one step ahead of you adding elements that you didn't even know were missing.  Besides being entertained, I felt smarter after reading it.  The book also has a terrific cinematic quality, so while I encourage everyone to buy it and read it for themselves, I also hope to enjoy it on the big screen.
