"Gloriously and fiendishly entertaining, Q of James Bond fame stars in his own novel as he investigates the death of an old friend."
This was a rub my hands with glee moment as Q from 007 fame lines up front and centre in his own series. After being forced to leave his role within the British Secret Service, Major Boothroyd rather unexpectedly finds himself investigating a death. Author Vaseem Khan has paid due respect to the original novels while spinning the first in this new series in a completely new and rather wonderful direction.
Having read Khan’s first two award-winning crime series set in India, and with his own background in the UCL’s Department of Security and Crime Science, it feels as though this author was the perfect person to team up with Q.
While pacy, witty, and punchy, this sits on the more cosy side of crime fiction and the investigation ruled with gusto. Q was just as I would have imagined him to be, more at home in a library and laboratory than out in the field, yet he holds an important ace or two up his sleeve. Khan’s humour transfers brilliantly to the world of MI6 spy craft, either in your face like a sledgehammer or slicing and sly as it creeps up on you from behind.
This novel slides into the LoveReading Star Book collection and also sits as a Liz Pick for its publication month.
The series promises much more, and I can’t wait to become a devoted follower. Quantum of Menace is a fabulous addition to the James Bond franchise, it’s smart, intriguing, and gloriously and fiendishly entertaining.
Filled with wit and verve, Vaseem Khan brings his vibrant and dynamic style to this spin-off cosy crime series set in the world of James Bond. Charming, drily humorous, and intelligently crafted, Quantum of Menace, the first in the Q mystery books, will appeal to Bond fans, readers of Murder Before Evensong, The Thursday Murder Club and Slow Horses novels, and those who are looking for a new take on clever crime fiction.**AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW**
