James Bond: Black Box by Benjamin Percy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love this series and this book does not disappoint. Large doses of international intrigue and high tech danger to global security. Bond's mission is to locate the black box, a mega hard drive containing government secrets from every country in the world, swiped from their own servers by a Japanese madman intent on making Japan the highest power in the world. Bond is written with plenty of his original old-style class and charm with just a slight bit of updating (ie he drinks bourbon now). Joining him on this high-impact global chase is a perfect Bond girl, Selah Sax. An assassin who went rogue when she got a conscience and is now killing other assassins. She and James start off at odds but end up in bed and Bond gets the girl. An exciting story and decent art. My only quibble is that Bond is drawn quite generically when one can say that every actor who has played the great agent has been anything but generic looking. Great series for fans!
