About this listen
“I spy … a brilliant thriller! Double or Nothing is a clever and utterly compelling addition to the Bond canon.” —Jeffery Deaver, author of Carte Blanche, a James Bond novel
The start of a brand-new trilogy following MI6’s Double O agents with a license to kill, that blows the world of James Bond wide open!
James Bond is missing…
007 has been captured—and perhaps killed—by a sinister private military company. His status unknown. MI6 will do everything in their power to recover their most lethal agent. But in the meantime, the rest of the Double O division has a job to do.
Meet the new generation of spies…
Johanna Harwood, 003. Joseph Dryden, 004. Sid Bashir, 009. They represent the very best and brightest of MI6. Supremely skilled, ruthless, with a license to kill, they will do anything to protect their country.
The fate of the world rests in their hands…
Tech billionaire Sir Bertram Paradise claims he has developed new cutting-edge technology capable of reversing climate change and saving the planet. But can his ambitious promises be trusted, and are his motives as noble as they appear? The new spies must uncover the truth because the stakes could not be higher; for humanity… and for James Bond himself.
Time is running out.

Story
Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Fifteen years ago, five ordinary teenagers were singled out by a prophecy to take down an impossibly powerful entity wreaking havoc across North America. He was known as the Dark One, and his weapon of choice - catastrophic events known as Drains - leveled cities and claimed thousands of lives. Chosen Ones, as the teens were known, gave everything they had to defeat him. After the Dark One fell, the world went back to normal...for everyone but them. Of the five, Sloane has had the hardest time adjusting.

Story
Joey Diamonds is on the verge of being a “made” man, with ice-cold blue eyes that pierce through the hearts of women...and men. After being disowned by his Mafia family, losing the love of his life, and realizing the world at large is his enemy, Joey throws extreme caution to the wind on his journey of self-debauchery in the name of fame and fortune. The Purple Don is the story of how self-destruction is never simply an internal state, and everyone around can be destroyed in the process.

The star of truTV’s hit show Impractical Jokers - alongside veteran sci-fi and horror writer Darren Wearmouth - delivers a chilling and wickedly fun supernatural novel in the vein of The Strain, in which a beautiful new subway line in New York City unearths an ancient dark horror that threatens the city’s utter destruction and the balance of civilization itself.

Long story but worth it
So 007 is not in this. Because of that you are introduced to a number of 00s and that does take time for the back story. A lot of jumping back and forth time wise but it actually helped the story out making it more suspenseful. There are some sections - a chase in the German hillsides that was really well done. And the fight scenes were well done. A lot of reference to other characters from the 007 books. Leiter, Tanaka, M and a promoter Moneypenny. I look forward to the next book in the trilogy.

“Everything AND Nothing.”
Disclaimer: I am a James Bond superfan and completist. I will read and support ANYTHING about my favorite franchise. But this missed the mark- and not because it didn’t have 007 in it. I applaud the choice of telling the story of different 00 agents, I applaud the inclusion of meaningful diversity in MI6, and I appreciate the attempts to weave in literary references as obscure as Trigger, Gen. Nikitin and Mary Ann Russell.
But the execution ends up “everything, AND nothing” - way too long, way too many ingredients slapped in, too many characters we don’t care about and don’t know why we’re spending time with, too little quality time spent with the villains, and not enough of the Bondian flavor. Fleming worked because he wrote short. Punchy. Brutal. I recognize the difficulty in updating this feel to modern times, but this missed the mark.
And then…. SPOILERS:
Turning Q into a computer? Making Tanner the mole? A bridge too far.
That said, I will be reading the next book - if only as a completist, and not with enthusiasm.

Something a bit different
Having read all of Fleming’s novels, and several others, I can say this ranks among the better novels. Sure, James Bond isn’t the protagonist (and the promotional copy makes that very clear), but it’s every bit a 00 novel.
Great villains, compelling new heroes, and an intricate plot. The narrator does a great job.
Perhaps the haters were expecting some half-baked misogyny or racism, only to be met with characters from our real world? Not sure what the vitriol is about, beyond revealing a particularly ugly underside to every fandom.
I look forward to the next installment.

If This Is the Future of Bond Books, I'm Sad
I'm a big Bond fan, so was hoping for an exciting reboot.
I don't know if this would be a better read than as an audio book. Listening to the audiobook, I got lost early and never found my way.
With less than 4 hours left out of 11 hours, I do not know what is going on. Or who's who. Too many he, she pronouns, not clearly pointing to anyone.
I know there's an industrialist that holds either the climate change solution or disaster in his hands. He either controls the bad guy organization, Pied Piper, or it controls him. It's hard to tell. James Bond is missing and the other 00's are showing up places, doing stuff and thinking thoughts. Are there two or three 00's? Is one 00 a traitor? At least that is what I have gotten so far.
The newly introduced 00's sound interesting, but I never cared or related to them. They already sound burned out. Who the heck is Lucky Luke?

Different Direction, Not My Cup of Tea
Let me say up front, the direction taken in this novel series isn't a bad one, just not one that interests me.
My comments merely reflect my personal preference which determines whether I enjoy a book or not. The editorial decisions that were made were made by people who own the rights to do whatever they want to with the 007 series. I'm just sharing that the decisions that were made were not my particular cup of tea.
This is the order I made my notes as I listened . . .
Disappointingly political...And the reborn Moneypenny's sentence structure sounds too much like Judy Dench.
The new Q intrigues me and is a unique twist.
If the author meant to make the women "strong" I think she missed and made them unnecessarily "hard."
WAY TOOOO MUCH character development on the other double "0s"
I've been looking for the right words and I think, I found them in, "this book is the womanification of the 007 book series." Mind you, there's NOTHING wrong with that. It's just not my cup of tea.
I think the author is more interested in character development than in crisis/action storylines. Again, nothing wrong with that, just not my cup of tea.
I've decided that I'll go back and watch Casino Royal to get my head back around the 007 series I prefer. Which Casino Royal, you ask? ;)
There are so many characters and sub-plots, they become a maze of disparate angles to the book, taking the fun out of reading. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, just not my cup of tea. I'm really surprised this book was allowed to be written this way.
Dual fights in the same chapter was nicely done.
Near the end of the book the writer takes a direct swipe at the idea of a "good old boys club." If the goal of the current editors was to move away from that concept in the series, THEY ACHIEVED IT. . .
AGAIN, not a bad thing, just not my cup of tea.
Disappointing!

Disappointing at best…..
I was excited to read this after hearing about the new direction that the series was going to take by rounding out some new OO characters in the James Bond universe. I found that there were too many characters to keep track of. Too many agents, and too many layers in the British Secret Service hierarchy. My biggest problem is that I feel the James Bond universe did not need to be “woke”. We didn’t need an LGBTQ+ injection into the 00’s. I did not find it believable given strong hetro history of 00’’s. I also found it hard to believe that Moneypenny as M’s admin was qualified to run the 0O section of the British Secret Service. Typically Admins to CEOs don’t succeed CEOs. They don’t have the experience. It also added a layer of complexity in the hierarchy of reporting and yet another character to the cast.
