    • s/t: An Anthology from the Fiction of Ian Fleming This book celebrates the greatest of all postwar British fictional icons. For too long the Bond films have overshadowed their literary source - the bizarre, baroque world of Ian Fleming. Full rein is given in this anthology to Fleming's wonderful creations - the deranged villains, their horrifying associates and their surreal lairs; from Dr. No's guano island to Blofeld's Garden of Death. Full attention to is paid to the girls, cars, food, drink and cigarettes consumed by the books' brutal, resourceful hero. From the first Bond novel, "Casino Royale" to the last to be fully finished, "You Only Live Twice", there is an extraordinary zest and ingenuity to Fleming's imagination and "My Name's Bond..." allows readers to see perhaps as never before the author's remarkable abilities. He was, above all, a creator of great set pieces and it is these that are surely at the root of the films' great and lasting success.

    • Málokterý zločinec na světě dokáže se zlatem to, čeho je schopen Auric Goldfinger. Zároveň nesnese, aby mu kdokoliv stál v cestě. James Bond mu sice překazí partičku karet, ale žena, kterou donutil aby mu pomohla, zemře. Také Agent 007 nemá při honičce s Goldfingerem šanci. Dostane se do rukou muže připravujícího útok na americkou základnu Fort Knox. Kupodivu zlato z pevnosti nechce ukrást, ale atomovým výbuchem jej na mnoho let znehodnotit. Zlato by totiž zůstalo šedesát let radioaktivní a nepoužitelné.

      Quelque chose bougeait au milieu des églantines. C'était un mouvement imperceptible et extraordinaire. Lentement, centimètre par centimètre, il vit s'élever entre les ronces t les branches d'églantine, une assez grosse tige épineuse d'une raideur anormale. Elle continua de s'élever jusqu'à dépasser le buisson d'une trentaine de centimètres. Puis, brusquement, elle s'immobilisa...

      Ein britischer Geheimagent wird nach Frankreich geschickt, um einen feindlichen Agenten namens „Le Chiffre“ beim Kartenspiel zu ruinieren. Geheimdienstchef M beauftragt Bond, Le Chiffre am Baccarat-Tisch zu besiegen, um ihn zu zwingen, sich von seinen sowjetischen Auftraggebern zurückzuziehen. Zunächst hat Bond Glück, da Le Chiffre eine Pechsträhne hat. Doch das Spiel wird kompliziert, als eine attraktive Agentin Bond in Schwierigkeiten bringt und er schließlich unerwartet gerettet wird. Die teils stark abweichenden Verfilmungen der James-Bond-Romane sind weithin bekannt. Anlässlich des 50-jährigen Jubiläums der Filmreihe werden die Originale von Ian Fleming erstmals im „Director's Cut“ veröffentlicht. Die Filmikone feiert ihr Jubiläum, während der 23. Teil der Saga, „Skyfall“, in die Kinos kommt. Cross Cult beteiligt sich an diesem Jubiläum mit einer Wiederentdeckung der meisterhaft erzählten Agenten- und Spionageromane und plant die schrittweise Veröffentlichung aller James-Bond-Originalromane. Leser können sich auf ungekürzte Übersetzungen der Titel wie „Goldfinger“, „Thunderball“ und „You Only Live Twice“ freuen, die mit den ursprünglichen Kapitelüberschriften erscheinen. Diese Sammlung verspricht, eine einzigartige James-Bond-Bibliothek zu werden, die den Kult um den britischen Gentleman-Geheimdienstler mit der „Lizenz zum Töten“ erkundet.

    • A spy is dead. A legend is born. This is how it all began. The explosive prequel to Casino Royale, from bestselling author Anthony Horowitz. M laid down his pipe and stared at it tetchily.

The sea keeps its secrets. But not this time. One body. Three bullets. 007 floats in the waters of Marseille, killed by an unknown hand. It's time for a new agent to step up. Time for a new weapon in the war against organised crime. It's time for James Bond to earn his licence to kill. This is the story of the birth of a legend, in the brutal underworld of the French Riviera.

      James Bond stand auf und ging zur Tür, als Scaramanga plötzlich seine Hand ausstreckte und ihn am Bizeps packte. Er hatte die Pistole erhoben und schnüffelte am Rauch aus dem Lauf. Sein Blick war völlig abwesend. - Es gibt etwas Bestimmtes, wenn es nach Tod riecht, sagte er heiser. Willst du es fühlen? Er hielt die goldglänzende Pistole wie eine duftende Rose entgegen. Bond blieb regungslos stehen. - Lass die Finger davon! zischte er. Scaramanga hob die Augenbrauen. Zum ersten Mal sah er Bond direkt in die Augen. Es war ein Blick, der kalt wie Blei war.
