    About this ebook

    The criminal conspiracy known as the Union has vowed its revenge on the man who thwarted its last coup - James Bond. Now, the Union's mysterious leader sets out to destroy 007’s reputation and sanity by luring the agent into a dangerous and volatile alliance.

    Officially on medical leave, Bond ignores M's orders and pursues clues that 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 . . .

      I reviewed DOUBLESHOT on another site when it was firs released. This is my first re-read since that review and my opinion hasn't changed. This is the worst James Bond novel out there. It reads like a bad Nick Carter Killmaster novel. The plot is based on the old evil twin wheeze. The "Bond girl" is a juvenile fantasy right out of the Penthouse Forum playbook. It's part of a trilogy linked by the criminal group the Union. The final book in the trilogy is all you need to read to get the whole story and the 'twist'. Skip this one.
