Carte Blanche: The New James Bond Novel

James Bond comes to life as you’ve never seen him before in the explosive spy thriller and international bestseller by Jeffrey Deaver.

The action begins when a Night Action alert cuts short a high-end dinner with a captivating woman. Headquarters has decrypted a whispered threat—plans for a chemical disaster with casualties in the thousands, British interests squarely in its crosshairs. Now Agent?007, in his early thirties and a veteran of the Afghan War, has been recruited to the newly formed Overseas Development Group (ODG)—a post-9/11 covert operations agency that operates independently from MI5, MI6, and the Ministry of Defense. With ultimate authority and arguably unlimited mandates, Bond has been given carte blanche to stop the attack by any means necessary. In this modern spy thriller, Bond races across Serbia, Dubai, and South Africa to thwart the lethal villain Severan Hydt and his shadowy network. As bureaucratic obstacles and domestic intelligence clashes test his limits, Bond must rely on cunning, high-tech gadgets, and allies like CIA’s Felix Leiter and South African officer Bheka Jordaan to stay one step ahead. A rebooted James Bond set firmly in the 21st century, Carte?Blanche blends suspenseful espionage, relentless action, and a morally complex protagonist navigating terrorism in a globalized world—a must-read thriller fiction experience.
