Publisher's Summary:

Undercover agent Omar Zagouri has been ordered to Giza. A prominent Egyptologist was murdered, and a priceless artifact - the only complete version of the Book of the Dead - is missing. Omar is still reeling from the recent disappearance of his girlfriend, Mia Golding, but he puts his quest to find her on hold to track down the lost piece of history.

Omar's mission is not just to locate the sacred book; he must also rescue the two archaeologists kidnapped and forced to translate its hieroglyphics under threat of death. Their kidnapper is determined to discover the text's rumored explosive revelation: that Moses did not receive the 10 Commandments from God but instead copied them from the Egyptians. Though Omar's need to find Mia grows more urgent, he must focus on finding the enemy who will stop at nothing to ignite a controversy that will change history, and the world, forever.

loved it!

Just as good as the first volume. looking forward to more. loved the fact that there is no foul language.

lost king

I was mesmerized by this audio. I looked forward to listen ing every nite read d it you will be glad. You dif

Fantastic book

I really enjoyed listening to this book. It's the second in a series and I am very glad to have found it.

I enjoyed it so much that I listened to the complete book in one day. The story was very good and the timeline in to the history was brilliant. The voice of the narrator deserves a big compliment because you completely forget that it's just the one person doing all the voices. Looking forward to the next book.

Boring and Meandering

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, it just lost me with all of its meandering back and forth between Ancient Egypt and modern Cairo and Tel Aviv. I didn't finish it.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Better editing. The story didn't seem very cohesive and I found it boring. The characters are very flat and need to be better developed. Perhaps they were in the first novel?

What three words best describe Bon Shaws performance?

He has a nice voice and can do accents well, but the performance seems more like reading and not a performance and was rather stilted.

Was Lost King worth the listening time?

No, I will return it.

Any additional comments?

This is the first book I've listened to by this author and I'm not impressed. The story was somewhat "hurky-jurky" and just didn't keep my interest.

German Production, English Review...

The title is in German, the description is in German, and a critical review is in German: Why would you download this book, and then have the bad manners to review it poorly if you don't speak German? Mark Greaney is the new Ian Fleming. You'd better start reading descriptions because they will be translating his works into many foreign language audiobooks. This book is great in English and excellent in Deutsch. 5 Stars!!

German, not ENGLISH, so now UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND.Why would you send me a German reader, when you must know I listen in English??

Title: The Man with the Red Tattoo

Subtitle: James Bond Series

Author: Raymond Benson

Narrator: Simon Vance

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 28 mins

Publisher's Summary:

When a British businessman and his family are killed in Japan by a virulent form of West Nile disease, James Bond suspects a mass assassination. Investigating with the help of beautiful Japanese agent Reiko Tamura and his old friend, Tiger Tanaka, Bond searches for the killers and the one surviving daughter, Mayumi.

Bond's discoveries lead him to believe that two powerful factions controlled by the mysterious terrorist Goro Yoshida are playing God. Between them they have created the perfect weapon, one small and seemingly insignificant enough to strike anywhere, unnoticed.

With an emergency G8 summit meeting just days away, Bond has his work cut out for him discovering when - and how - the next attack will occur. It's a race against time as Bond confronts both man and nature in a desperate bid to stop the release of a deadly virus that could destroy the Western world.

One of the best James Bond books ever written complex characters full of suspense a flawed gritty hero beautufil well developed heroines detailed observations about Japan would work well for Daniel Craig

More the Bond of the movies.

This is more the Bond of the movies but with more simple gadgets. I prefer not to write a review and just I dictate with stars but Amazon forces their will upon the reader.

A fitting end to the Benson cycle

In my previous review of Zero Minus Ten, Raymond Benson's take on James Bond found our intrepid secret agent against the Chinese mafia in the first book of his cycle. It's fitting that Benson returns Bond to action against the Asian mafia, this time in Japan in the final novel of the Benson cycle, The Man with the Red Tattoo.

Set against the backdrop of the G8 summit, 007 returns to the land of the rising Sun (which he first visited in the classic You Only Live Twice) and is reunited with his old friend Tiger Tanaka to investigate the deaths of a billionaire corporate president and his family, which are tied in to a corporate takeover masterminded by the Japanese yakuza who ate intent on unleashing a genetic virus on the world.

Benson paces his story with the usual flair for detail in the story's locales, along with a thorough understanding of the Japanese underworld and mafia, while giving Bond a real run for his money.

It's too bad that this is the last of the Benson cycle. He makes for an exciting storyteller and honors the Ian Fleming franchise.

Fear Mosquitoes

The Union is dead but Goro Yoshida is still out there and he's got plans to unleash a deadly virus on the decadent West. Bond comes across many helpful allies and some pretty ferocious villains which makes this book hard to put down. Raymond Benson finished his Bond writing career with flare. If you are a James Bond fan then you must read all of Benson's six original Bond novels!!

Good read for Bond fans post-Fleming

A little slow in place with a few too many Japanese phrases and explanations thrown in. Bond's return to Japan, long overdue, with the return of Tiger Tanaka was nice.

SPOILER: Insufficient explanation of the fate of Bond's son.

It becomes clear that Brokenclaw is behind the kidnapping and worse, he has a devastating plan to cause economic meltdown through the collapse of the dollar.

Members Reviews:

Not Gardner's best, but okay time passer

What did you love best about Brokenclaw?

Simon Vance's crisp, smart, and enthusiastic reading helped put this one over the top.

If youve listened to books by John Gardner before, how does this one compare?

Gardner's Bond stories are always worth the trip, though "Brokenclaw" I found to be only a little bit better than "okay", storywise.

Have you listened to any of Simon Vances other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to many of Mr. Vance's performances before, most notably his readings of Ian Fleming's and John Gardner's Bond novels. He does his usual polished job here.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, this was an okay Bond story, but I was fine listening to it over the course of about a week in my car. Other Bond stories by Gardner I listened to faster to see how they would turn out.

Any additional comments?

This one was mainly enjoyable due to the reliably entertaining Simon Vance performance. The story was engaging, but not much more than that.

Gripping

Brilliant book and keeps you hooked right to the end. Better than watching a film.

Members Reviews:

Definitely not the most exciting story featuring James bond I have listened too

The story at the beginning was mysterious, and exciting. However, I expected the climax and ending of it to be much better.

The audio performance by Simon Vance was extremely well done. Which is the best evidence that a great audio performance is no substitute for a great story from the beginning to the end.

awsome story

loved this book....kept me on the edge of my seat....full of action..bond at his best

James Bond vs Suicide Bombings

John Gardner writes spy novels that happen to feature James Bond. This one has Bond going against an arms dealer who also runs a religious cult that produces suicide bombers.

Takes about two hours to get moving but then the horror and suspense starts and you get going to the finish. No luxury or exotic locations, just a macabre and brutal psycological thriller.

One of the better Gardner Bond books and very well performed by Simon Vance.

Two female agents of Operation Cream Cake - double agents and honey traps against the KGB - are murdered. Bond must find the others and conduct them to safety before they meet a similar fate.

In a race against time, Bond travels to Ireland and the KGB is soon on the scene. But all is not as it seems and soon Bond finds he needs all his wits to negotiate a labyrinth of double-crossing that is to lead him to a bewildering showdown in a remote corner of the Kowloon province of Hong Kong, where, weaponless, he is hunted by four assassins.

No Deals, Mr Bond is the sixth in the best-selling series created by John Gardner, and one of the most original and unpredictable.

Members Reviews:

Good Bond theme

I liked this one better than some of the other follow on books. It se med to hold closely to the Ian Fleming style with just a enough of the movie vibe to keep it a bit light.

Five Stars

It's Bond enough said

Three Stars

Decent light reading

No Deal and Great Thrills

John Gardner has done it again. Bond finds himself outside the official ring of MI6 on this mission and I personally couldn't put the book down. Bond's clever planning and Q Branches gadgets come in handy in this story. Great plot and fun read earns my 5 Star review!

Why Hasn't This Story Hit The Theatre?

John Gardner writes a classic James Bond tale full of misdirection, mystery, intrigue, sexiness, and the stone cold nature of 007! I thoroughly enjoyed the story and would love to see Daniel Craig star in a version of this tale although the Cold War aspect provides challenges here. This is a great spy novel!

Members Reviews:

Predictable

Not literature, but an entertaining story. Heard most of it on airplanes, and it was good enough to make my flight time pleasant. I would recommend this for vacation or beach reading.

Narrator not Good

The story is not bad, but the narrator is just awful because he seems to have the same voice for most of the male characters, as well as the female, and sometimes I think he forgets whose voice he's suppose to be using. Otherwise story is good except the ending, I wish, fervently hope that Jake Travis will tell Cynthia what the Cardinal last words were.

Excellent Story

This is the first book by this author I read. Enjoyed the story very much. I will look for other books by the author. Would recommend it to friends as well as my book club. The story and characters are well developed and although I read many mysteries this one held my interest to the last chapter and was surprised by the ending.

The Jake Travis series are my favorites

What did you like best about this story?

This entire series of books are very good. I started with The Cardinal Sin and then read the first two in the series. Jake Travis leads a very interesting life and I really like his sense of humor. They can be read in any order as they are stand alones.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me laugh out loud in quite a few places.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for the next one to come out!!

The Union is a criminal organization with tentacles throughout the world, specializing in military espionage, theft, intimidation, and murder. After one of its agents assassinates Bond's friend and host at a glittering dinner in the Bahamas, the Union becomes 007's priority target.

When information vital to Britain's national security is stolen, both M and Bond suspect that the Union is behind it.

Led by the abrasive mountaineer Group Captain Roland Marquis, aided by the expedition's sexy and beautiful doctor, Hope Kendall, and opposed by an unknown traitor working out of SIS itself, Bond must pit his strength and guile against two deadly adversaries - the forces of nature at high altitude and the most resourceful criminal minds he has ever encountered.

Members Reviews:

Great Bond novel

Exciting novel featuring The Union. Very vivid story telling and Simon Vance is the master

classic Bond

great story with some twists. high time to kill. Lmao. the reader brought the story to life

great book

Interesting storyline, good characters and good range of locations. Good representation of Bond and really well narrated.

Bond is heavy on the filler

I have to admit, I was terribly disappointed by this novel. While size isn't everything, the production is only about nine hours, . And a good two-thirds of the story is filler that is only vaguely germane too the story.

It's almost like the author was writing a script for a TV show, or a movie. There was a good ninety minutes of story, but then the author needed to stretch another seven hours to make a novel.

Too much of the mystery is given away in long winded exposition, and Bond becomes a somewhat incompetent and whiney passenger in the story.

Most of the events are clearly telegraphed ahead of time, and there are no real surprises. Characters are largely flat and stereotypical. And after the initial events, the listener must sit through two-thirds of the book without anything of interest or import happening.

Frankly, it was dull, and the climax was predictable and derivative. I spent most of my time listening to this novel just waiting for something, anything, to happen.

I wish they'd make a movie of this

What did you love best about High Time to Kill?

The isolated setting and clear goal

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Absolutely. I found myself really trying to imagine the mountain setting

Have you listened to any of Simon Vances other performances before? How does this one compare?

He's the best

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I thought this would make for a really interesting Bond movie.

Any additional comments?

This may be my favorite Bond story of all time.

Language: English

Release date: 09-16-15

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

The intricately organized criminal conspiracy called the Union has vowed its revenge on the man who thwarted its last coup. Now, the Union's mysterious leader sets out to destroy James Bond's reputation and sanity by luring the agent into a dangerous alliance of deceit and treason with a Spanish militant intent on reclaiming Gibraltar.

Officially on medical leave as a result of a head injury sustained on his last adventure, 007 ignores M's orders and pursues clues that he believes might lead him to the Union's inner circle. His search takes him from the seedy underbelly of London's Soho to the souks of Tangier; from a terrorist training camp in Morocco to a bullring in Spain; and from the clutches of a murderous Spanish beauty to a volatile summit conference on the Rock of Gibraltar.

Each step brings 007 closer to the truth about the Union's elaborate, audacious plot to destroy both SIS and its best agent: James Bond.
