Title: Cold Fall by John E. Gardner, John Gardner ISBN: 0-399-14149-9 Publisher: Putnam Pub Group Pub. Date: 01 June, 1996 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $22.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.36 (14 reviews)

Summary: By far, John Gardner's worst
Comment: Cold Fall's plot isn't terrible, but John Gardner
did a shoddy job of writing. There were a bunch of discrepancies that a diehard Bond fanatic would notice. Bond's character did a few things he has never done before, like ordering beer instead of a martini. Like loving two women he had sex with. Like not being the hero because he called in "the cavalry" at the end of the book.
Gardner is past his prime. Many of his Bond books have been enjoyable, but Cold Fall signals the demise of John Gardner. I can only hope it doesn't signal the demise of James Bond.
Rating: 5
Summary: Cold Fall is a RED HOT Delight!
Comment: After reading some of the previous reviews, I thought I was in for a big letdown. It just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you read! READ THE BOOK! Cold Fall is an espionage masterpiece and I totally enjoyed it! I have been reading John Gardner's James Bond series for over ten years now and I never grow tired of them, although the last two installments (SeaFire & Never Send Flowers) were not up to par with some other the earlier ones. Cold Fall features not one, but FOUR Bond women, a really nasty megalomaniacal villian, plus all of the usual cloak & dagger action that makes James Bond a favorite literary character!
The only problem I have with Cold Fall is that it ended too soon! What will happen to James Bond and the newly reorganized British Secret Service? Will Gardner write another installment? One can only hope so.
Rating: 4
Summary: Gardner's best mix of sex and violence for a Bond story.
Comment: The plot is a little to Americanized because it has bond fighting COLD, a militia type group in the United States. Also you will have to read Nobody Lives Forever and Seafire to understand this one. Bond also gets over Fredricka Von Gruse a little to easily, but the sex and violence that make James Bond James Bond were plentiful.
