"If you wish to steal atom bombs, this is how you must do it! Fleming's mastery of detail enable the reader to suspend disbelief."Sunday Telegraph

"Thunderball is a terrific book. It is the beginning of what could be called the Blofeld Trilogy. While it is distinguished by the usual pace and rich detail, it also features excellent characterizations, is extremely moody and dark in tone, and full of dynamic action."Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill

James Bond is in disgrace. His medical report is critical of the high living that is ruining his health, and M packs him off for a fortnight to a health farm to be tuned up to his former pitch of exceptional fitness. Bond expects a trying two weeks. The last thing he expects is an adversary more deadly, more ruthless even than S.M.E.R.S.H.

Thunderball is an incredible adventure, one which finds James Bond tackling SPECTRE. Operating in the Gulf Stream, this daring crime ring has perpetrated the most arrogant blackmail demand ever attempted.
