"This is a straight search-and-destroy job, 007." M met Bond's gaze directly. "Kill as many of them as you can."
M orders 007 to Canada to collect the butcher's bill on a spate of CIA/KGB reprisal killings as separatist unrest rocks the country. Bond and sultry FLQ freedom-fighter Bijoux Montagne must destroy the ROULETTE sleeper network cell-by-cell as terrorists strike Montreal and saboteurs menace the top-secret Avro Arrow jet program. In the high Arctic, 007 and his sadistic SMERSH counterpart Koniev face off in a savage reckoning that will tip the Cold War balance of power.
Jamie Mason is a Canadian sci-fi/fantasy short-story author and novelist whose works are characterized by absurdist themes and an exaggeratedly fatalistic world view. His stories have been featured in On Spec, Abyss & Apex and the Canadian Science Fiction Review. His young adult sci-fi novel ECHO was published in June 2011 by Drollerie Press.
This is a must-read if you’re a fan of James Bond or Cold War thrillers in general. Jamie Mason has made an admirable and entertaining contribution to the Bond canon that continues where Fleming left off. I highly recommend you head over to Canadian Amazon and pick this up.
