About This Item
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1988. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. The seventh of the 16 spy-thrillers featuring the legendary fictional British secret agent, James Bond, which Gardner wrote under the publisher's Ian Fleming "house name" after Fleming's death. Once again Bond returns to action to combat a violent religious cult which serves as a front for the mega-czar of global vice and terrorism -- Vladimir Scorpius. Text edges show light soiling, o/w text and boards are clean and unmarked, tight and square, not remaindered. The dustjacket shows only a touch of wear at the spine ends and corners, no tears, no chipping or creasing, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
