This book has been fantastically written and it is clear that Archer himself has used some of his own first hand experience to describe the prison life. This brings a great amount of realism to the story. You are on the side of Danny all the way through and are constantly waiting to see what happens to him next.

It is mainly due to the excitement and adventure in this book that makes it translate so well to audio book form. Roger Allam, once again, does a fantastic job at narrating, always making sure that each character is enhanced with different vocal patterns and inflections. It is due to this that the story begins sounding like a whole cast of people rather than just one man and Allam definitely does Archer’s book justice. The unabridged version also includes an interview with Jeffrey Archer about A Prisoner of Birth.

The book is set in 1967 when 007 has been forced to take a rest leave, but of course no spy ever really gets a rest, and sure enough he is soon dragged back into the exciting world of gadgets, gun fights and high speed chases when evil genius Dr Julius Gorner is out to destroy Britain. It is Bonds job to stop his evil plan to fill England to the brim with heroin, not to mention his other equally diabolical plans waiting to be unleashed onto the world. Sebastien Faulks will not disappoint even the biggest Bond fan with this fantastic story.

This book translates into audio format brilliantly. It has to be said, this is mainly due to Tristan Laytons fantastic narration. With his various accents and voices you almost feel as if you are listening to an entire cast. His cool, dry delivery makes him the perfect choice for a Bond novel. The story line while mostly exciting, at some points can be a tad slow. Tristan Layton keeps these slower moments moving and the listener on the edge of their seat while at the same time playing around nicely with Sebastiens Faulk’s prose and descriptive language.

Devil may care is an absolute must for any Bond fan and equally for any avid reader.
