An Audie® Award- winner, Vance was recently named "The Voice of Choice" by Booklist magazine. From Kirkus Reviews : James Bond saves the world from criminal genius, Take 13 (Take 27, if you count 's original series): an unapologetic nostalgia piece by Fleming's sturdy successor. When the mandarins of Her Majesty's spanking new agency MicroGlobe One need somebody to goad cruise-line king Sir Max Tarn, fingered by his own accountant as a high-end arms dealer, into cutting and running so they can pull him in without giving away the accountant, the obvious choice is James Bond, who's just celebrated his promotion to Director of the Double Zero troubleshooting branch by foiling a hijacking on Sir Max's own ship. In go Bond and his inamorata Fredericka von Gr sse (Never Send Flowers, 1993), and out pop Sir Max and his wife--apparently right into a fatal auto accident. It's up to Bond, who actually saw Tarn pulling away from Hall's Manor hours after the supposed crash, to get the goods on the late Sir Max--a labor of hate that takes him from London to Seville to Jerusalem (for an unusually gratuitous episode with Tarn's wife) to Tarn's family estate of Wasserburg in Germany (where you'll never guess what Bond learns about Tarn's political affiliations) to San Juan, where Tarn's nefarious master plan finally becomes clear hours before a cheerfully noisy holocaust. As he dodges threats of ``fast, sudden death'' from ``the most evil man I have ever known'' (the testimonial of a Tarn confederate), Bond finds that his romantic relationship ``had begun to give him something that had never been present with any previous woman''-- not a good sign for anybody who remembers the fate of Tracy di Vicenzo. A feast of the predictable--from counterterrorist high-tech to the return of Felix Leiter--that's probably the best Bond since Win, Lose, or Die (1989). If you can swallow Pierce Brosnan as 007, you won't have any trouble getting this down. -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. ISBN 13: 9780399139383.

His critically acclaimed books include the novels Grendel, The Sunlight Dialogues, and October Light, for which he received the National Book Critics Circle Award, as well as several works of nonfiction and criticism such as On Becoming a Novelist. He was also a professor of medieval literature and a pioneering creative writing teacher whose students included Raymond Carver and Charles Johnson. SeaFire. SeaFire , first published in 1994, was the fourteenth novel by John Gardner featuring Ian Fleming's secret agent, James Bond (including Gardner's of Licence to Kill ). Carrying the Glidrose Publications copyright, it was first published in the United Kingdom by Hodder & Stoughton and in the United States by Putnam. Plot summary. With the help of his latest & serious girl-friend Flicka von Grüsse, James goes after billionaire, Sir Maxwell Tarn who thinks he's the next Hitler. Captain Bond now works for MicroGlobe One rather than an ill M whom he visits to cheer up and keep informed of the plot. The global trail takes 007 to Puerto Rico via Spain, Israel & Germany. The book's title comes from Tarn's weak plot which is helped by his goons who include a few nasty ladies who aren't what they seem to the fate of Mrs. Tarn. During the story Bond proposes to Flicka (memories of Tracy come to mind) which adds to ending tensions. To make the narrative more reflective an old friend reappears to aid James and to split up this spy twosome. Seafire.
