About This Item
New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1990. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine. Gardner's ninth addition to the James Bond canon features 007 on vacation in San Francisco only to find himself tricked by M into tracking down Brokenclaw, the half-Blackfoot Indian, half-Chinese ruler of the city's underworld, who is now believed to be the mastermind behind a Communist Chinese espionage coup. Boards and text show a very slight spine lean, o/w clean, unmarked and tight; the dustjacket is free of flaws, no tears, chipping, creasing, not price-clipped. A collectable copy.
Synopsis
Brokenclaw, first published in 1990, was the tenth novel by John Gardner featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond. Carrying the Glidrose Publications copyright, it was first published in the United Kingdom by Hodder & Stoughton and in the United States by Putnam. The book title is sometimes presented as two words, but is correctly one word since it is a character name.
