Live and Let Die

JAMES BOND IS PUT TO THE TEST AGAINST AN EGOTISTICAL SCIENTIST WITH NEFARIOUS AIMS Dispatched by M to investigate the mysterious disappearance of MI6’s Jamaica station chief, Bond was expecting a holiday in the sun. But when he discovers a deadly centipede placed in his hotel room, the vacation is over. On this island, all suspicious activity leads inexorably to Dr. Julius No, a reclusive megalomaniac with steel pincers for hands. To find out what the good doctor is hiding, 007 must enlist the aid of local fisherman Quarrel and alluring beachcomber Honeychile Rider. Together they will combat a local legend the natives call “the Dragon,” before Bond alone must face the most punishing test of all: an obstacle course―designed by the sadistic Dr. No himself―that measures the limits of the human body’s capacity for agony.

JAMES BOND IS HOT ON THE TRAIL OF TWO STOLEN ATOM BOMBS Upon M’s insistence, James Bond takes a two-week respite in a secluded natural health spa. But amid the bland teas and tasteless yoghurts Bond stumbles onto the trail of a lethal man with ties to a new secret organization called SPECTRE. When SPECTRE hijacks two A-bombs, a frantic global search for the weapons ensues, and M’s hunch that the plane containing the bombs will make a clean drop into the ocean sends Bond to the Bahamas to investigate. On the island paradise, 007 finds a wealthy pleasure seeker’s treasure hunt and meets Domino Vitali, the gorgeous mistress of Emilio Largo, otherwise known as SPECTRE’s Number 1.

She’s the daughter of a powerful Corsican crime boss who thinks Bond's hand in marriage may be just the thing to settle his volatile daughter. But Bond's chances at marital bliss are interrupted by a call from MI6—they finally have a lead on Blofeld. After tracking the SPECTRE chief to a stronghold in the Swiss Alps, Bond uncovers the details of Blofeld’s latest plot: a biological warfare scheme more audacious than anything the fiend has tried before. It's up to Bond to save the world once again―and survive Blofeld’s last, very personal, act of vengeance.

Vivienne Michel, a precocious French Canadian raised in the United Kingdom, feels like a foreigner in every land. With only a supercharged Vespa and a handful of American dollars, she travels down winding roads into the pine forests of the Adirondacks. After stopping at the Dreamy Pines Motor Court and being coerced into caretaking at the vacant motel for the night, Viv opens the door to two armed mobsters and realizes being a woman alone is no easy task. But when a third stranger arrives―a confident Englishman with a keen sense for sizing things up―the tables are turned. Still reeling in the wake of Operation Thunderball, Bond had planned for his jaunt through the Adirondacks to be a period of rest before his return to Europe. But that all changes when his tire goes flat in front of a certain motel…

A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CREATOR OF JAMES BOND Ian Fleming’s world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the world’s most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the author’s Bond canon. From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favor of underground haunts, and mingling with celebrities, gangsters and geishas. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world from a twentieth century Western perspective. Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventure…and danger. In Thrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond.

THE TRUE STORY OF AN INTERNATIONAL CRIME RING AND ITS DOWNFALL In 1957, as the Cold War raged, Ian Fleming took a respite from writing James Bond to craft a work of nonfiction every bit as tense as a Bond adventure. Aided by an ex-MI5 agent and International Diamond Security Organization operative going by the alias “John Blaize,” Fleming chronicled the IDSO’s infiltration of the “million-carat network” – the world’s most notorious diamond smuggling ring. Every year, a shadowy band of racketeers pirated a fortune in diamonds out of Africa, and the majority of the stolen gems wound up in the hands of Communist nations. In response, the IDSO commissioned a private army, led by legendary British spymaster Sir Percy Sillitoe, to penetrate and topple the ring. When the operation was complete, the Sunday Times gave the story to Fleming, who had impressed Sillitoe with his earlier Bond adventure Diamonds Are Forever. A remarkable feat of investigative journalism, The Diamond Smugglers is the thrilling true story behind one of the greatest spy operations in history.

A fascinating collection of rarely seen journalism and other writings by Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond series. Ian Fleming was best known for bringing to life the legendary character of James Bond, one of the most beloved and enduring icons of our time, but he was perhaps even more interesting than his creation.

This collection contains a selection of journalism and other writings by Fleming, covering his wartime experiences, reflections on crime and espionage, and the process of writing his novels, among other topics. Listeners will feel like they are right beside Fleming, immersed in his world as he works to meet the deadline for his next Bond novel, or participates in a mortifying golf tournament, or befriends an octopus in his beloved Jamaica. This audiobook gives dimension to the man behind the myth, bringing life to his words and providing a unique glimpse into Fleming’s world.

Dr No

Med forord af Rasmus Paaske Larsen. I Lev og lad dø møder vi baron Samedi – alias mr. Big – hersker over ”Den sorte enkes Voodoo-sekt”, kirkegårdens gud, kaptajn for de dødes legioner. Mr. Big har allieret sig med den største magt i verden, nemlig frygten. Og han udfører sine lyssky operationer ved hjælp af store akvarier med rovfisk, som han fodrer med mennesker. Det er dette uhyre af et menneske, James Bond tager kampen op med. Fra skatteøen Surprise dirigerer mr. Big den kriminelle underverden i Harlem, og da Bond falder for hans blændende smukke elskerinde, Solitaire, intensiveres kampen mellem de to dødsfjender. Efter en heftig forfølgelse gennem Amerika kulminerer spændingen på skatteøen, hvor mr. Big sætter sine rovfisk ind på uigenkaldeligt at gøre det af med James Bond … Rosenkilde & Bahnhof udgiver nu de 14 ikoniske bøger om James Bond, som Ian Fleming (1908-64) selv var forfatter til. To novellesamlinger og 12 romaner. Bøgerne er forsynet med nye forord af den danske Bond-ekspert Rasmus Paaske Larsen.

Lev og lad dø

Storbritannien er i gang med at opføre en raket ved navn Moonraker, som officielt skal forsvare landet mod dets fjender. James Bond bliver bedt om at overvåge bygningen af raketten, og han fatter hurtigt mistanke til rigmanden og falskspilleren Hugo Drax, der står for opførslen. Da James Bond går i gang med at grave i sagen, går det op for ham, at målet for den forestående prøveflyvning måske ikke er forsvar, men angreb. En storkonflikt truer med at bryde ud, hvis ikke James Bond når til bunds i sagen, inden det er for sent. James Bond er velsagtens den mest kendte hemmelige agent i verden. Hans skaber, Ian Fleming, skrev kun 14 bøger om ham, men andre forfattere har sidenhen skrevet langt flere bøger om den hårdtslående og udødelige agent. Fortællingerne om agent 007 og hans kamp mod alverdens superskurke har opnået enorm popularitet verden over, både som bøger og film. Den første filmatisering af en Bond-bog, "Dr. No", fik premiere i 1962 med Sean Connery i hovedrollen som agent 007. Siden har mange forskellige af Storbritanniens største skuespillere spillet rollen som James Bond. Den engelske forfatter Ian Fleming (1908-1964) er bedst kendt for sine legendariske spionromaner om agent 007, James Bond, der er delvist baseret på hans egne oplevelser i den engelske efterretningstjeneste både under og efter anden verdenskrig. Ian Fleming nød at leve i sus og dus, og James Bond-romanernes enorme succes både som bøger og på det store lærred gjorde ham i stand til at leve et jetsetterliv med alle de bekvemmeligheder, det medførte. Ian Fleming skrev sin første James Bond-roman, "Casino Royal", i 1953, og udgav i alt 12 romaner og to novellesamlinger om den snu og hårdføre agent, hvoraf hver og en fik enorm succes både som bøger og efterfølgende som film.

Det var en skæbnesvanger dag, den dag hvor agent 007 først krydsede forbryderkongen Goldfingers vej. Et råd kunne have lydt, at man burde holde sig fri af ham, for med et slag kan han knuse én, så døden rammer. Men et sådan råd ville James Bond højst sandsynligt have siddet overhørig. ”Penge sletter alle spor,” hviskede Goldfinger og gav morderen et tegn … tegn til hvad? Men døden må vente …

To MI6-agenter er blevet myrdet på den britiske koloni Jamaica, mens de efterforskede en mystisk kinesisk mineejer, som kaldes Dr. No. James Bond bliver sendt til Jamaica for at færdiggøre agenternes mission og derved finde frem til deres morder. Der går imidlertid ikke lang tid, før James Bond finder ud af, at hans fjender er klar over, hvem han er, og at de allerede prøver at komme ham til livs. Der skal mere til at stoppe agent 007 i at finde frem til sandheden om agenternes død og at løfte sløret for Dr. Nos dystre hemmeligheder. James Bond er velsagtens den mest kendte hemmelige agent i verden.

James Bond har fået til opgave at opspore sin geniale ærkefjende Blofeld og hans forbryderorganisation SPECTRE, selvom han selv er overbevist om, at organisationen ikke længere eksisterer. James Bond står på bar bund, da han får hjælp fra uventet kant. Gangsterbossen Marc-Ange Draco er James Bond dybt taknemmelig, efter den galante agent har reddet hans datter fra at begå selvmord, og han fortæller gladelig, hvor Blofeld gemmer sig. Den skumle plan, Blofeld nu har taget i brug, viser imidlertid, at han er endnu mere nedrig og skruppelløs, end James Bond havde anet. James Bond er velsagtens den mest kendte hemmelige agent i verden. Hans skaber, Ian Fleming, skrev kun 14 bøger om ham, men andre forfattere har sidenhen skrevet langt flere bøger om den hårdtslående og udødelige agent. Fortællingerne om agent 007 og hans kamp mod alverdens superskurke har opnået enorm popularitet verden over, både som bøger og film. Den første filmatisering af en Bond-bog, "Dr. No", fik premiere i 1962 med Sean Connery i hovedrollen som agent 007. Siden har mange forskellige af Storbritanniens største skuespillere spillet rollen som James Bond. Den engelske forfatter Ian Fleming (1908-1964) er bedst kendt for sine legendariske spionromaner om agent 007, James Bond, der er delvist baseret på hans egne oplevelser i den engelske efterretningstjeneste både under og efter anden verdenskrig. Ian Fleming nød at leve i sus og dus, og James Bond-romanernes enorme succes både som bøger og på det store lærred gjorde ham i stand til at leve et jetsetterliv med alle de bekvemmeligheder, det medførte. Ian Fleming skrev sin første James Bond-roman, "Casino Royal", i 1953, og udgav i alt 12 romaner og to novellesamlinger om den snu og hårdføre agent, hvoraf hver og en fik enorm succes både som bøger og efterfølgende som film.

I Hendes Majestæts hemmelige tjeneste

Agent 007 er blevet sendt til Japan på en særlig mission, der på forhånd synes at være håbløs. Han skal forsøge at overtale den japanske efterretningstjenestes chef, Tiger Tanaka, til at dele sin information om Sovjetunionen med MI6. Det viser sig at være næsten umuligt, indtil Tanaka foreslår en byttehandel. James Bond skal rejse til den afsidesliggende ø Kyushu og myrde den farlige og hensynsløse dr. Guntram Shatterhand.
