NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Bond is back in this electrifying novel of intrigue and suspense. A masterful continuation of the James Bond legacy, Devil May Care picks up right where Ian Fleming left off—at the height of the Cold War, with a story of almost unbearable tension. An Algerian drug runner is brutally executed on the desolate outskirts of Paris and Bond is assigned a new task; to shadow the mysterious Dr. Julius Gorner, a power-crazed pharmaceutical magnate. Gorner has lately taken a disquieting interest in opiate derivatives, both legal and illegal. After finding a willing accomplice in the shape of a glamorous Parisian named Scarlett Papava, Bond must stop a chain of events that could lead to global catastrophe. Charged with adrenaline, deception, and Bond's signature wit, Faulks brings us this exhilarating new chapter in the life of the world's most iconic spy.

I have never read an Ian Fleming book so I have nothing to base the comparision on ... does he stay true? I don't know. I do know I did like the characterization of Bond. Somehow he came across as vunerable, yet swaggering at the same time. I don't want to spoil anything but I didn't like the representation of the female double 0 (I hope that is ambiguous enough) she just wasn't cool enough and she was emotional and slightly blubbering. But other than that and the abrubtness at the end I enjoyed it.
