Countdown to Skyfall: For your ears only

AudioGo have released all new audio book recordings of Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels - I've just listened to an eight hour recording of Her Majesty's Secret Service with David (Dr Who) Tennant doing the reading. And a damn good job Tennant did too!

“I am delighted to say that Ian Fleming Publications and AudioGO are thrilled to be working together to present some of Britain’s best-known actors reading Ian’s classic Bond novels, for your ears only...”
Lucy Fleming
Each novel is read by a different actor and each set features an intreview with the respective reader on what Bond means to them. So far I've only heard OHMSS (truly a great Fleming novel) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Here's a list of titles now available:

  • Casino Royale read by Dan Stevens
  • Live and Let Die read by Rory Kinnear
  • Moonraker read by Bill Nighy
