Written while Fleming was very ill and published eight months after his death, 'The Man With The Golden Gun' sees Bond once again faced with his own mortality.

His lavish descriptions of exotic locations have always been one of the highlights of the series, and Fleming’s portrayal of Jamaica is especially evocative. The beachside bars, the dusty inland towns and the dangerous mangrove swamps are all alive with the hum of insects and the scent of rum.
