"If Anthony Horowitz's byline weren't on the cover, readers could
bring themselves to believe that the new James Bond thriller
actually came from the late Ian Fleming's typewriter. Trigger
Mortis fits seamlessly among the original Cold War-era gems....
Bona fide Bond in every way." - Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"A new James Bond novel shakes and stirs the notoriously
anachronistic superspy." - Advocate.com
"In Horowitz's expert and mischievous hands, Bond hasn't been
scolded into becoming all things to all people. Instead, he's still
Bond, James Bond, license to do what he damn well likes....
Brilliant.... Thank goodness Mr. Horowitz has delivered us a great
new story." - Matthew Dunn, FoxNews.com
"It's quickly apparent that Horowitz is doing something both clever
and audacious.... Very much of its period.... A clever and
enjoyable pastiche, which manages to press many of the buttons that
were the purview of 007's creator.... There will surely be an
appetite for more outings à la Horowitz." - The Independent
(UK)
"Great fun...[for] readers who can't get enough of James Bond at
his coolest and suave-est." - Seattle Times
"Impressive.... The sturdy plot involves a suitably diabolical and
grandiose scheme. An excellent mimic of Fleming's prose, Horowitz
delivers an entertainment sure to please James Bond fans." -
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The heart of any good thriller is the plot, and...Horowitz doesn't
disappoint. The action moves with high velocity.... Also stays true
to the Bond of Fleming's books." - New York Times Book Review
"Horowitz...delivers the tersely precise prose that makes Bond so
compelling, but more than that, he also supplies touches of
Fleming's cruel poetry.... A brisk and effective ride." - The
Guardian
"As Bond-villain plots go, this is a clever one.... There are more
than enough pleasures for even the strictest Bond aficionado in
Trigger Mortis.... The book barely puts a foot wrong.... I
especially liked the way the book starts with a sentence that
Fleming himself might have written: 'It was that moment in the day
when the world has had enough.' We all know moments like that, and
we all know that the thing to do when such moments linger too long
is to pick up a James Bond book." - Wall Street Journal
"As Bond-villain plots go, this is a clever one.... There are more
than enough pleasures for even the strictest Bond aficionado in
Trigger Mortis.... The book barely puts a foot wrong..." - Wall
Street Journal
"Horowitz has written a humdinger of a Bond story, so cunningly
crafted and thrillingly paced that 007's creator would have been
happy to have owned it...from his brilliant first chapter on,
Horowitz is a pitch-perfect mimic of the Fleming one-line
punch....He even gets the clichés spot on." - Simon Schama,
Financial Times
"...promises to be the best Fleming homage yet." - Publishers
Weekly
