James Bond is in Berlin battling the KGB's most deadly assassin. Cold tense nights, exotic weapons, a very unhappy M, and a surprising romance—it's all in a day's work for master spy 007, James Bond. For the audio book, Anthony Valentine reads with a cool, assertive tone and a familiar accent. Both are entirely right for Bond. Librarian's note: this entry relates to the short story "The Living Daylights." It is one of four in the collection, "Octopussy and The Living Daylights." Entries for all nine Bond short stories can be found by searching Goodreads for: "a James Bond Short Story."
