Those Mr. Big cannot possess he crushes; those who cross him will meet painful ends -- like his beautiful prisoner, Solitaire, and her lover, James Bond. Both are marked as victims in a trail of treachery that leads from New York's black underworld to the dark secrets of the island in the sun that Mr. Big calls his own. Voodoo, sharks, barracudas, time bombs, harpoon guns, torture, and terror are the ingredients for a scalding brew that reaches the boiling point in an eruption of violence.

Fleming's sophomore outing, "Live and Let Die" (LALD) was published almost exactly a year after the debut novel, in April of 1954. In story and character development, LALD is a marginal improvement over its predecessor, which I had found wanting in character depth and, even given the time period in which it was written, in its treatment of women. Even though I thought there was some merit to "Casino Royale," and that this story, too, works fairly well, all in all, I'd recommend it more as an archeological artifact of the Bond legend than as a novel in its own right.
In LALD Fleming remains true to the prospectus for his Bond novels that he presented near the end of "Casino Royale." In my review of that book, I noted that Fleming "does not focus on actual spying, but on the threat that causes it. `The business of espionage could be left to the white-collar boys. They could spy and catch the spies. He would go after the threat behind the spies, the threat that made them spy.' Fleming's Bond is not Le Carre's Smiley: Bond, his apparent intellect notwithstanding, is out to eliminate the threat, not the spying."
And so, in LALD, Bond finds himself in New York City investigating a Harlem-based crime figure and apparent tool of the fictionalized Soviet counterintelligence organ, SMERSH. (That fact is pretty much all you'll read of SMERSH in this novel.) "Mr.
