The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Sebastian Faulkss instalment in Ian Flemings iconic Bond series, Devil May Care. Read by Jeremy Northam. My novel is meant to stand in the line of Flemings own books, where the story is everything. said Faulks, In his house in Jamaica, Ian Fleming used to write a thousand words in the morning, then go snorkelling, have a cocktail, lunch on the terrace, more diving, another thousand words in late afternoon, then more Martinis and glamorous women. In my house in London, I followed this routine exactly, apart from the cocktails, the lunch and the snorkelling. Picking up from where Fleming left off in 1966 with The Living Daylights / Octopussy, Faulks has written the perfect continuation of the James Bond legacy. Devil May Care is set during the Cold War and features all the glamour, thrills and excitement that one would expect from any adventure involving Bond ... James Bond. This unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition is read by Jeremy Northam.

On a small island off the south coast of France, Robert Hendricks, an English doctor who has seen the best and the worst the twentieth century had to offer, is forced to confront the events that made up his life.
For theatre lovers, teachers & students, fans of Faulks and all fans of classic literature, romance and period drama.
