Forever and a Day Audiobook Summary

A spy is dead. A legend is born. This is how it all began. The explosive prequel to Casino Royale, from bestselling author Anthony Horowitz.

Forever and a Day is the story of the birth of a legend, in the brutal underworld of the French Riviera, taking readers into the very beginning of James Bond’s illustrious career and the formation of his identity.

***

M laid down his pipe and stared at it tetchily. “We have no choice. We’re just going to bring forward this other chap you’ve been preparing. But you didn’t tell me his name.”

“‘It’s Bond, sir,'” the Chief of Staff replied. “James Bond.”

The sea keeps its secrets. But not this time.

One body. Three bullets. 007 floats in the waters of Marseille, killed by an unknown hand.

It’s time for a new agent to step up. Time for a new weapon in the war against organized crime.

It’s time for James Bond to earn his license to kill.

It’s the early ‘50s and British intelligence is worried about unusual activity in Marseille’s underworld so they send one of their elite agents to check it out, but 007 is murdered. His replacement? A young man named Bond. James Bond.Anthony Horowitz already wrote one retro Bond novel based on some unused Ian Fleming material with Trigger Mortis. Here, he takes us even further back to give us the story of Bond’s first mission after earning his license to kill. Bond finds himself trying to unravel a dastardly scheme as he encounters colorful characters like a morbidly obese Corsican mob leader, a wealthy American businessman, and beautiful ex-British agent who has become a major player by running her own freelance espionage business. Along the way Bond does a little gambling while wearing a tuxedo, drinks some martinis, has a bunch of sex, and kills some people. So Bond got a pretty good idea of what his job would be like early on.Bond fans will find a lot to like here, especially those whose favorite film version is Sean Connery because that’s the vibe Horowitz is going for. As in Trigger Mortis he cleverly skirts the problem of Bond coming across as a dated jerk by leaning into it and actually having Bond be a dated jerk in many ways. The thing that makes it tolerable is that he’s usually called out for it so it still lets Bond be the classic bastard he usually is without feeling like his behavior is being excused.So you’ve got all the classic elements in an action filled story that provides an old school origin story. It’s a good dose of Bond to fill the time until the next movie finally gets made.

4★“Death was part of the job. And like it or not, there would be times when the service would have to strike first, when a state-sponsored assassination would be the only answer to a particular threat. M could not have his hands tied.”Post-war England – the end of WWII and the beginning of the Cold War. If you like action, mysteries and spies, and you’ve never heard of Ian Fleming’s world-famous spy, James Bond, you’ve got some catching up to do!Ian Fleming began writing the Bond books with Casino Royale in 1953. After Fleming’s death, Anthony Horowitz was invited by the Ian Fleming Estate to write a couple of stories. This one begins before Fleming’s first book and shows us the young secret agent being promoted to the Double-O rank, the one with the licence to kill.“There was a short pause followed by the words that Bond was hearing for the first time and which he would hear many times again in the years to come. ‘I wonder if you’d mind coming up? M would like to have a word.’”Would he mind?!!! What a teddibly polite request for such a deadly occupation.“As Bond stood there he was immediately struck by M’s authority, his quiet confidence. Decisions would be made in this room that might change the world. Lives would be snuffed out without a second thought . . . And it would all have been done in a very English way – with a pipe and a cup of tea and the scratch of a fountain pen signing off on the dotted line.”He’s told that an agent has been killed while investigating in Marseilles, and Mother England needs a new man on the job. Of course we know what happens. This is a prequel, after all, so we know he will live “forever and a day”, but that’s the extent of it.It’s been too long since I raced through all the original Bond stories, which I loved when I read them in my youth. They were so popular that my dad said when he was flying somewhere, he was reading a Bond mystery and he looked at his seatmates and across the aisle, and they were all, every one of them, reading a Bond mystery. THAT kind of popular! But I don’t mean to suggest that they are just “airport novels”.They are a lot of fun, and I think this probably slots into the series pretty well. It’s not really my taste anymore, but I enjoyed it and the sense of history that goes along with it. “Although it might not appear so, hostilities had not come to an end in 1945. There were a great many people dedicating themselves to the complete destruction of Great Britain and everything it stood for.”There’s a casino, an enormous, dangerous villain – I mean really enormous and really dangerous – there are hair-raising escapades, and there’s a beautiful woman. Of course there’s a beautiful woman. She is one of the trademarks of the Bond books, and she’s a smart one, older than Bond, and I liked her.“But if she had lost the perfection of youth, she had gained the carelessness and confidence of later age.”Good fun and I think it will be interesting to see if and how it leads into Casino Royale when I re-read it, which I’m intending to do.Read January 2019 - Goodreads shows a different date

When it comes to 007 novels, excluding Ian Fleming of course, I am a fairly harsh critic. So I am very pleased that I enjoyed this novel so much.If you have the hardback version of the book left up the dustwrapper & you will see part of the cover has been embossed on the boards.....just like the original Fleming stories. Well done to publishers Jonathan Cape for adding this lovely touch. Anyway, onto the book itself....While Anthony Horowitz may not give us the immense detail that Ian Fleming put into his descriptions of meals & locations the structure of the story is so like Fleming that you almost believe you are reading a lost novel. Of course, as Horowitz point out in his acknowledgements at the end of the book, some elements were taken from a television story outline that Fleming never used. That aside, Horowitz does a superb job in bring a 1950's set Bond adventure to life.The author is such a huge bond fan that he even makes a reference of Shame Lady. I've been a Fleming fan for over 40 years & that even had me stumped for a while. For the answer see his acknowledgements at the end of the novel. However, Horowitz does not thankfully fall into the trap that many other Bond authors have by filling the novel with endless in jokes that become irritating.This is a book that deserves a huge amount of praise. In one of may favourite chapters he simply writes about a character telling James Bond about her life & it's a wonderful piece of prose.I do have one very small criticism though. The villain's plan (which I will not give away!) is quite similar to one used in an old Bond film. Perhaps the author used it subconsciously, but I did find it spoilt (though only slghtly) an otherwise perfect novel.So what do we end up with ? Great characters, a wonderful 1950's setting & a truly superb Bond adventure. JAMES BOND IS BACK!

World War 2 is over for most - but not all. For those in the Secret Service, the war continues in the shadows. It’s the 1950s and secret agent 007 is killed in the Marseilles docks. Head of the 00 unit, M, decides to trial a promising young candidate for 007’s replacement: James Bond. Bond’s mission: find out why the Corsican mob in the south of France have stopped drug trafficking, why notorious double agent Madame 16 is involved, and avenge the fallen agent’s death. Bond has his licence to kill in… Forever and a Day! This is the official prequel to Casino Royale, Ian Fleming’s first James Bond novel, and, though I’ve never read a Fleming Bond novel before (I know, I know), I think Anthony Horowitz’s novel is a pretty damn good Bond book and probably the equal of any of Fleming’s. I liked that Horowitz started us off right at the beginning, before Bond became 007 and how he earned the codename and the licence to kill. The story hits the ground running, opening briefly in (where else?) London before, true to expectations of Bond’s signature globe-trotting adventures, taking us to Sweden where Bond is hunting down a former Nazi collaborator. Horowitz does tick a lot of boxes - martinis, casinos, fast cars, fast women, gunfights, evil villains - but it doesn’t feel too overtly like he’s doing it; he’s wearing another man’s clothes but he’s made them his own. That said, the cover notes that the novel contains original material by Ian Fleming, which is an outline for an unused American TV show and a description of the Monte Carlo casino from Fleming’s travel book Thrilling Cities (so no new Fleming Bond material, if anyone was wondering), all of which is found in the casino scene when Bond meets Sixtine for the first time. The characters are very striking and memorable. I loved how monstrously Scipio, the grossly overweight Corsican mob boss, is written, and Madame 16 is a fully realised character too - smart, sexy, dangerous, with an air of tragedy about her; she’s the perfect companion to Bond in this story. A lot of the scenes are enthralling like the casino scene, Bond’s first encounter with Scipio, and especially the entire episode where Bond and Sixtine make a daring break-in and escape of the factory towards the end. I feel that novels as a medium don’t do justice to action scenes but it turns out that I just hadn’t read anybody who knew what they were doing before because the escape scene was genuinely gripping and really took me there - hats off to Anthony Horowitz. I think if a writer can write an actually exciting action scene, they’re something special and Horowitz is certainly that. I also liked that scene because it highlights how green Bond is. This is his first solo outing as a 00 agent, he’s still young and inexperienced, and it shows in the mistakes he makes and how inelegant his plan was, in conception and execution (though it was effective). Similarly formulaic in structure is the villain’s monologue of their evil plan to a captive Bond, which is a cliche, but again doesn’t feel like that here. Especially as the villain’s motivations can be seen as sympathetic given what they’ve been through. And the plan itself isn’t that cartoonishly silly either - it’s an inventive and original idea that you could imagine actually working as conceived. I really liked that the villains aren’t written as one-dimensional or moronic. If there’s one aspect that I didn’t love, it’s the overly descriptive passages that make up the book. Bond isn’t a chatty (chatty bang bang) Cathy and is frequently alone so a lot of the scenes describe everything in them and what Bond’s doing, which is a bit laborious and frustrating to get through when you want the fun plot to keep up a decent pace. Mostly though this is a superb action thriller with a lot of unpredictable and really great twists, all the way to the bloody end. Forever and a Day is an expertly-written, often compelling, memorable and highly entertaining James Bond story. I was very impressed with yet another Anthony Horowitz novel - this writer is quite brilliant!

The late Ian Fleming's James Bond novels are among my all-time favorite books - and have the distinction of being the only books I've read more than once (for the record, the same is true for the Bond motion pictures). So when the first of the "new" Bond books by Anthony Horowitz, Trigger Mortis, was released in 2015, I was more than a little apprehensive. But that one came through with flying British colors, earning a 5-star rating from me. Apparently, Fleming's estate agreed; he was asked to write another - this one - and by golly, I like it even better than the first.In a different sense, this one is the first; it takes place as Bond has been called up from the ranks to replace the former 007, who's been killed in the line of duty. When asked by chief M what number he preferred, he responded that keeping the 007 would, among other things, send a message to the enemies that the British service might be down, but never out. Bond's first assignment, however, will put that message to the test.Not knowing exactly what lies ahead, Bond is looking forward to earning his license to kill; he's headed for the south of France, where his predecessor was shot three times (definitely overkill) while investigating the Corsican underworld and super-corpulent bad guy Jean-Paul Scipio. Known for their abundant profits by manufacturing and distributing quality heroin, it's a puzzlement as to why the Corsicans suddenly brought that activity to a screeching halt. Add in the intrigue of a beautiful former agent who seems to have gone rogue, and Bond has his work cut out for him well before he leaves England. Once in France, Bond meets up with Reade Griffith, a CIA agent with whom he, well, bonds. He also learns that the gorgeous femme fatale is now involved with Irwin Wolfe, a beyond wealthy businessman who's making a killing (no pun intended) in the manufacture of color film for the motion picture industry (as an aside, one of the interesting parts of this novel is the time setting - not long after World War II and long before the Digital Age we've all come to know and love).It wouldn't be a Bond novel, of course, if Bond himself didn't narrowly escape mortal danger at least once (and since we all know he made it well past the initial license-to-kill stage, it's not a spoiler to say he doesn't get bumped off in this one). He does get roughed up now and again - and again and again - as he pits his many skills against everything from a high-stakes casino blackjack game to the wiles of a clever but possibly deceitful woman to several unscrupulous bad guys. It's all a high-stakes game that Bond is intent on winning - and for readers, a delightful prequel to what's already come. Good job!

FOREVER AND A DAY is very faithful to both the style and the spirit of Ian Fleming’s James Bond stories. That is both a plus (exciting, action filled encounters) and a detriment (occasional character motivations and behaviors that can cause the Reader a bit of head-scratching). Yet, by the time I was finished, I felt that I had read a “legitimate” James Bond novel. The opening is quite nicely done, and brought to mind a moment from the film version of YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE. The story itself details how the post-War James Bond receives his double O status, and sends him on his first mission with his official “license to kill.” Along the way, there is plenty of elegance and deception, iconic references (such as how he developed his preference for “shaken, not stirred,” and his favorite brand of cigarette), undeserved death, a particularly grotesque criminal paired with a suave villain, and an unexpected partnership with the CIA. With the exception of a backstory chapter, the novel never failed to move briskly. One item to note is the period in which the story is set. If the Reader assigns “modern” motivations to the post-WW2 environment, there will be plenty of character attitudes that don’t make sense. The writer tries to help things along by familiarizing us with some of the “back room politics” that occurred and probably aren’t known to those of us who relied on public school education for our knowledge. The James Bond pastiches have strongly varied in quality, often sending me scurrying back to the original works for a re-read to clear the palate. Anthony Horowitz has studied his Bond and has produced one of the better ones. Incorporating Fleming into his writing style both helps and hinders, but it also produces a work that feels like “pure Bond.”

Forever and a Day is a prequel to Casino Royale, Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, and gives a magnificent look at how Bond becomes a 00 agent, as well as his exhilarating first mission to exact revenge for the murder of his predecessor and friend, the previous 007. Bond joins the 00 service as an experienced war and post war operative. Even at the tender age of thirty he's fairly suave, with a taste for the finer things. In fact, it's here that he first picks up his predilection for shaken, rather than stirred cocktails, which Horowitz provides some interesting backstory for. It's also here that he learns to accept the necessity of the "dirty" parts of his job.The best part of any Bond story is the villain, and here we get a truly memorable one in the form of Scipio, a morbidly obese Corsican crime lord that seems to parallel Jabba the Hut in more ways than one. Joanne "Sixtine / Madame 16" Brochet, an undercover agent turned independent rogue/information broker quickly becomes the object of Bond's desires and makes for a fantastic femme fatale type figure. Older, enigmatic and downright ruthless, Bond can't be sure if she's friend or foe, or maybe a bit of both. The plot is perhaps a bit tame by Bond standards, but there's a good mystery at the heart of it and it makes for an excellent ride.

I was in the mood for a James Bond book and so what better way than to read one by Anthony Horowitz? He has never disappointed me and with this novel, his streak remains intact. Bond novels by those other than Fleming have been problematical for me but both Horowitz efforts have been spot on. This one describes Bond's first assignment as a member of the 00 section. It's written in the Fleming mold. i.e. not gadget-oriented like the movies. The plot builds slowly with well-rounded supporting characters while the ending contains some terrific action scenes that really kept me turning the pages. It was nice to see the origin of some of the Bond tropes including the "shaken, not stirred" bit. I hope this author is granted the opportunity to do at least one more Bond book, and hopefully, many more.

** I am doing a re-read of the James Bond books, including the classic Ian Fleming, followed by John Gardner, Raymond Benson, and the other estate approved editions. My goal is to read and review each one in chronological order (as much as possible) with as much honesty and reflection that I can give. ** Background / Notes – This is the second James Bond novel authorized by the Ian Fleming estate and written by Anthony Horowitz. Horowitz was given some original source material by the Fleming estate - an outline for a TV series that was never made – to use in the book. It was published in 2018 as a prequel to Fleming’s first Bond novel, “Casino Royale” and it is where I will begin my re-read.Plotline – Two words: “Prequel Bond.” The book starts off back in 1950 when James Bond, an agent in the British Secret Service, has not yet earned his double-O (permission to kill) status. This is the story of how James was developing into the Bond that Ian Fleming introduced to the world to in his classic “Casino Royale” novel. The prequel starts off with the current 007 agent turning up dead – shot three times and left floating in the waters of the French Rivera. M, the head of the British Secret service, decides it’s time to promote Commander Bond, and sends the new 007 to the south of France to find out what happened to his predecessor. Bond’s mission takes him to several exotic locales, including Stockholm, Nice, Monte Carlo, French Riviera, and even Southern California. Bond is introduced to several new and mysterious characters who interact and challenge him, including Sixtine, a sultry fatal and former British secret agent during the war and now an independent entrepreneur; Scipio, a grotesque Corsican gangster with even more grotesque tastes; Irwin Wolfe, an arrogant American industrialist who has invented a new way to film movies; and Reade Griffith, a CIA agent with his own agenda (and not related to Fleming’s established Felix Leiter). Favorite Lines – “You make love like a schoolboy. I’m sure you’ve had plenty of girls, James, but you’ve never had a woman and you’ve still got a lot to learn.” Sixtine to James Bond (p.169). “You will not know what I am going to do, whether I will provide you with pleasure… or pain.” Scipio to James Bond (p.227).Thoughts and Reflections – There are a several reasons I absolutely love about this book. And it seems a bit strange to start off re-reading all of the James Bond books without starting with the master and creator himself, Ian Fleming. Still, in my opinion, Horowitz does a lot of good things well.First, with this being a prequel, Horowitz presents a younger version of James, where he is physically strong, but still learning and developing into the experienced and savvy agent that he will one day become. This James made mistakes during the mission, some of them costly and deadly. Still, he was an authentic human that was learning to use his brain rather than just rely on instincts. As much as I want my Bond to do things that seem impossible, they still need to be based in a realistic world.Second, Horowitz creates a cast of characters that as close to the ones in Flemings books that I have seen in a quite a while. They aren’t cartoonish or have silly names. Each of them had a background, uniqueness of character, and especially Sixtine – she captured a special place in my heart. James and she share an evening when she shares the story of her life during the war and the decisions she’s made that really define her strength and resiliency. She is not just pretty woman who falls into James arms because he walks into the room. Rather she challenges and strengthens him.Third, Horowitz creates a strong plot and pacing to match. Writing a Bond novel must be one of the toughest challenges a writer can face. Stepping into an established world where expectations are high and the ways to fail are many, seems like an unbelievable task to willingly take on. However, I was very surprised at how well Horowitz delivered on this absolutely key element. The setting in is in the early fifties, before the modern-day technology that exists today, but he keeps the plot focused, moving, and tied together throughout the story. Except for a few clichés that spring up through-out the book, the moments of intense action are balanced by interaction and dialogue that take you back to the vision that Fleming created. I don’t want to give too much away, but there are several scenes where Bond is faced with the results of his actions and coming to terms with them were critical to his character development. One scene especially involving heroin was especially well written and presented in such a raw and personal way that the memories will be ingrained in my mind for quite a while. Overall – First of all, let me be absolutely clear. Ian Fleming is the king when it comes to James Bond and everyone pales in comparison. That’s a given. However, of all the writers stepping into Fleming’s world, Horowitz does a worthy job in his second outing. The good things heavily outweigh the few cliched clunkers. My advice is, if you like your James Bond authentic, gritty, and realistic, give this one a try. It will be worth it.Next Book – “Casino Royale.”

What I loved Fat gay bad guy!Sixteen - the strong, intelligent, violent female spy.The most vicious, effective, and soul-sucking potential Bond death. Any man, hell any person, would have gladly jumped in a shark tank.What I appreciated Anthony Horowitz did a good job balancing classic 50s Bond with modern readers’ taste. What I disliked The crazy evil genius... was crazy. Yes, hate to spoil that for you. The grand plan made no sense. Very disappointing.3.75 Stars rounded up to 4Goldsboro Books offered a limited edition: I received 207/750, with sprayed edgings, signed by the author. *Audible note: Matthew Goode’s voice is a believable James Bond, his American accents humorously jovial, but his female characters are wanting whispers lacking depth.

007 is dead. His body was found in the waters of Marseille, three 9mm bullets fired into his chest and stomach at close range. It’s a devastating blow to Her Majesty’s secret service, but it also paves the way for a younger agent to replace him. Thus, it’s time for James Bond to officially earn his license to kill. Before M is willing to officially elevate Commander Bond to Double-O status and give him a spot on the fifth floor overlooking Regent’s Park, the young recruit is sent to kill Rolf Larsen, a traitor hiding out in Stockholm. While this scene is briefly referenced in Fleming’s Casino Royale, Horowitz takes readers inside the old-fashioned apartment furnished with heavy dark German furniture, rugs, and chandeliers, as Bond does his job. Though it’s his second assassination, this is much different than the first, when he shot someone by the name of Kishida. Larsen is much more up-close-and-personal, a true test of Bond’s nerve and resolve. With the bloody trial run complete, M promotes Bond, who chooses his 007 designation to send a message to the bad guys (a message that’s too good to spoil here). And with that, James Bond, the newly minted 007, is dispatched to France and tasked with. . . Continue reading review here: https://therealbookspy.com/2018/07/22...

So many “big name” authors tried to crack the Bond magic, and sadly failed. The first Anthony Horowitz Bond book was excellent, and his follow up? Even better.Set in 1950/we have a young Bond, new to the 00 section. He is tasked with continuing the mission of his predecessor in Marseille. This is a Bond still finding himself, the post war setting is perfect as is the Bond learning his skills and what it means to be a 00 agent.Bond is investigating a drying up of drugs and the involvement of a Corsican “Mr Big”, no really he really is big. He comes into contact with possibly the best of all “Bond girls”, Sixtine, who shapes the young Bond in a number of ways, and shows him he has much to learn.Yep, it’s an origin story, but so well told and with so many nods to Bond fans and the Bond history. This captures the time and character perfectly, I shall be devastated if Anthony Horowitz doesn’t own this series for a long time to come.
