The first Book Club edition of this novel, published in the same year as the true first Jonathan Cape edition. An immense success, this novel sold out quickly after its publication. In Ian Fleming’s popular James Bond series, the last to be published within the author’s lifetime. Continuing from the murder of Tracy Bond at the end of On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the story is set in Japan and deals with Bond’s personal struggles, as well as examining the decline of British power and influence following the Second World War.
You Only Lice Twice is the twelfth of Ian Fleming’s novels and sees the broken agent sent to the Far East for one final mission…
Bond, a shattered man after the death of his wife at the hands of Ernst Stavro Blofield, has gone to pieces as an agent, endangering himself and his fellow operatives. M, unwilling to accept the loss of one of his best men, sends 007 to Japan for one last, near-impossible mission. But Japan proves to be Bond’s downfall, leading him to a mysterious residence known as the ‘Castle of Death’ where he encounters an old enemy revitalised. All the omens suggest that this is the end for the British agent, and for once, even Bond himself seems unable to disagree…
