Death is Forever is not a terrible book but nor is it a good one. It's plot twists are getting tiresome in these books. The plot is about a former agent for Europe during the cold war called Wolfgang Weisen and it is said that he was a relative to Joseph Stalin. Weisen is killing of members of an intelligence network called CABAL who consists of agents during the Cold-war era. James Bond is investigating these murders. This book has the shortest climactic scene of all time and it didn't get it right. Also, in my opinion, this book has a character who died who didn't need to die. I think the author just wanted sadness clouding Bond in this book and this is one of my problems with this book, it is too dark and dreary. It isn't as fun as the other books are and I'm not meaning happy and cheerful. In my opinion, the antagonist is too weird and just badly written. I give this book a 4/10.
About the author
After COLONEL SUN (1968) by Kingsley Amis, John Gardner was the next writer to be asked to write further adventures of James Bond. He wrote, like Fleming, fourteen Bond books, plus novelisations of the films GOLDENEYE and LICENCE TO KILL, from 1981 to 1996. Before becoming an author of fiction in the early 1960s John Gardner was variously a stage magician, a Royal Marine officer, a journalist and, for a short time, a priest in the Church of England. 'Probably the biggest mistake I ever made,' he says. 'I confused the desire to please my father with a vocation which I soon found I did not have.' In all, Gardner had fifty-five novels to his credit - many of them bestsellers. John Gardner died in 2007.
