On Her Majesty's Secret Service

On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Ian Fleming A favourite Bond novel, possibly because (in my opinion) it was one of the best Bond films, with the best soundtrack and the best Bond.

Bond is on the search for Blofeld following events in Thunderball, and drinks/shags/smokes/shoots his way around various exotic parts of Europe.

The story relies on Bonds skills, rather than the gadgets from the films, and by the last few pages you can start to hear the orchestra coming up for Louis Armstrong to start "All the Time in the World"
