In my hotel today, after black coffee and scrambled eggs,  I was treated to my news paper.  As I was turning the pages I came across some reviews on Carte Blanche.  The articles appear in the Canadian National Newspaper The Globe and Mail.   I have found the articles online for your reading pleasure if you do not get the G & M.  Have a read and tell me what you think?

Carte Blanche Hits North American Stores

This is a picture of my June 14th Afternoon where I purchased another copy of Carte Blanche and continued to read it during my day.  I will be traveling around with this copy so I won't care as much if it gets damaged.  As you can see there is a second copy of Carte Blanche.  Since I've talked so much about it my girlfriend as decided that she would like her own copy and she is currently reading it! Talk about a great relationship!  I encourage everyone to go pick up a copy even if you are not a die hard fan as it is a great thriller read.  

Has anyone finished it yet or planning on picking up a copy soon?  Father's Day is this Sunday and it would make a great gift to your Dad!

Carte Blanche Excerpt

Jeffery Deaver's website has posted an excerpt on Carte Blanche. 
You can read the first 2 chapters on Jeffery Deaver's website here:

Jeffery Deaver Official Website

The First Chapter is entitled.  Sunday.  The Red Danube.

In this chapter we meet a man who is driving a train and in the second chapter we meet our hero.  None other than James Bond.  This is a whole new Bond but with many traits of old.

A notable difference to the new James Bond is that he no longer smokes.  Deaver explained in an interview that spies no longer smoke because they leave behind too much evidence for the enemy.  Not because of the changes in society. 

Have a read of the first two chapters and let me know what you think.
