From the Publisher
[Fleming] gathered material for his novels like a voracious travelling magpie: the people and places Fleming experienced on his Thrilling Cities tour in 1959 would [furnish] much of the backdrop and research for the five Bond novels and seven short stories that would follow.” — The Times (UK)
“[Thrilling Cities] can—and will, compulsively—be read at a sitting." — Financial Times
“Fleming describes food precisely and enticingly." — Independent (UK)
"Invariably entertaining and often funny." — The Guardian (UK)
“[Fleming’s] penchant for fast cars, stylish hotels, expensive alcohol and bizarre encounters brings a whiff of excitement to the narrative, which is vivid, shocking and exuberant by turns.” — Good Book Guide
