James Bond: Icebreaker

By John Gardner

Book Overview

For the first time in trade paperback--with new introductions--the novels that began John Gardner's career as the author of the thrilling James Bond 007 series.

In Icebreaker, as indestructible as ever, Bond is back in another mission--a deadly assignment undertaken in cohort with Bond's opposite numbers from the United States, the Soviet Union, and Israel in the desolate Arctic wastes of Lapland. Yet if resurgent fascism is the common enemy, who is really to be feared? Is it the breezy American or the voluptuous Israeli who is acting as a double agent? Are the Finns merely using Bond to break the KGB's stranglehold on their tenuous national autonomy? Never has Bond encountered such an unnervingly deceitful bunch of collaborators or been subjected to such a bewildering series of potentially lethal shocks.

Best post-Fleming Bond book

In this, my favorite James Bond 007 continuation novel Gardner pits his character against a Neo Nazi force inside the Arctic Circle. Intricate plot twists, interesting locations and tense, suspenseful action highlight this novel which also proves to be a fan favorite among a number of people in the 007 fan community. Definately recommended.

Icebreaker continues the rising John Gardner Era!!!

In his 3rd book, John Gardner pits 007 with agents from the CIA, KGB and MOSSAD working against a Neo-Nazi force. Another masterpice thanks to John Gardner. Not as good as the first two, but is absolutely stunning anyway!

Bond never gives up!

Grab a seat and enjoy this best seller! I sure did! Loved it all! Bond stays irristible! Great storytelling by the late Gardner! Never give up on three famous numbers! 007! great action at its best! Fast and Furious! Lively Imaginative.

The most original 007 villans since Spectre

This was by far the best Gardner 007 novel. This had all the gadgets and women that make James Bond James Bond. This would have made a great movie if we were still dealing with the Cold War 007. Also The N.S.A.A. was a great villian for Bond.

Icebreaker Breaks the Ice for great reading material

Icebreaker was one of the fist Bond novels I read & I enjoyed it so much I might consider re-reading it. In fact it is a shame Hollywood has not turned this into a movie. What I liked most about the book was the "combined forces" (Britian,Israel,Russia)that made for unusual tactics against unusal villians. I would like to read more Bond books that pair up Bond with a temp partner much like For Your Eyes Only and Tommorrow Never Dies. An easy to follow plot some cool gadgets and good typical ending. There is nothing like a good book.
