David Rintoul's British accent provides a heart-pounding, adrenaline-pumping rendition of Ian Fleming's classic. Rintoul's vocal depictions develop each character flawlessly. His breathless excitement is contagious. Beautiful women and Bahamian scenery are successfully created in your mind's eye. Movie comparisons to a 007 story are inevitable. However, the unabridged version allows the full development of key characters in the storyÐnot achieved in the movie. True Bond fans will look forward to more audio adventures. J.L.R.
