Four stories that showcase Bond at his very best. In Octopussy, a talented but wayward British major pays a high price when his wartime past catches up with him, while in The Property of a Lady, a Faberge egg leads Bond to a KGB spy. In The Living Daylights, Bond has a perilous rendezvous in sniper's alley, and 007 in New York (read by Lucy Fleming) sees him sent to America to warn an ex-MI6 operative about a dangerous liaison. Contains an exclusive bonus interview with Tom Hiddleston.
