In their stunning Ian Fleming series, the Folio Society has just published another illustrated novel: You only Live Twice.
In the eleventh volume of the spectacular James Bond series by the Folio Society, the agent not only fights for his life, but also for his livelihood. You Only Live Twice, the last book published before Fleming’s death, contains everything that makes a Bond novel so exciting: exotic locations, glamorous women, grotesque villains – and at the same time a little more about what makes the agent tick .
Fay Dalton continues her dazzling work on this series with seven beautiful color images and a breathtaking picture cover. The elegantly restrained binding design hints at both the location of Bond’s latest adventure and the agent’s love for elegant suits.

The story begins with Bond at his lowest ebb. Since Blofeld murdered his wife, all passion for his work has gone, but M is ready to give him one last chance to save his career.
In a seemingly impossible mission, Bond must infiltrate the so-called Castle of Death, the home of the mysterious Dr. Shatterhand. This is no ordinary criminal hideout looming on the shores of the Japanese island of Kyushu. With a garden full of deadly plants and poisonous snakes, the site is a real killing machine and hundreds have lost their lives. To get to the heart of the castle and put an end to the madness, Bond must first master the ancient ways of ninjutsu. And he has to master it quickly, because the sinister Dr. Shatterhand has a lot more to offer than what first appears.
