‘Unshackled from the burden of fidelity to Fleming’s character, her book feels a lot freer and more spontaneous than the more conventional Bond continuation novels, while still managing to capture something of Fleming’s rollicking spirit’ Telegraph
‘A boldly innovative James Bond novel . . . [Sherwood] rises impressively to all the challenges of the formula — the cliffhangers, the exotic locations, the wry specificity about lifestyle and weaponry brands, the blend of “kiss kiss” and “bang bang” — while adding ideas such as making Q a quantum computer and putting the climate crisis at her remarkable thriller’s centre.’
