London: Hodder and Stoughton. 2002. [Spy thriller] SIGNED FIRST EDITION. Octavo (24 x 16cm), pp[vi]; 245; [5], blank. Publisher's blue cloth hardcovers lettered in silver to spine, photographic dust-wrapper priced at £18.99. Autographed by Raymond Benson in black ink to the title-page. The signature was obtained privately by us -the author did not appear in the UK to promote this, his last Bond book, and thus signed copies are scarce. A lovely fine copy, warehoused by ourselves since publication. A novelisation of the James Bond movie starring Pierce Brosnan and Rosamund Pike; beginning in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea, continuing via Hong Kong, Cuba and London, Bond races against time to unmask a traitor and prevent a war of catastrophic consequence. The novel is based on the screenplay by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. Item #58144
