A fitting end to the Benson cycleBy Bill WilliamsIn my previous review of Zero Minus Ten, Raymond Benson's take on James Bond found our intrepid secret agent against the Chinese mafia in the first book of his cycle. It's fitting that Benson returns Bond to action against the Asian mafia, this time in Japan in the final novel of the Benson cycle, The Man with the Red Tattoo.Set against the backdrop of the G8 summit, 007 returns to the land of the rising Sun (which he first visited in the classic You Only Live Twice) and is reunited with his old friend Tiger Tanaka to investigate the deaths of a billionaire corporate president and his family, which are tied in to a corporate takeover masterminded by the Japanese yakuza who ate intent on unleashing a genetic virus on the world.Benson paces his story with the usual flair for detail in the story's locales, along with a thorough understanding of the Japanese underworld and mafia, while giving Bond a real run for his money.It's too bad that this is the last of the Benson cycle. He makes for an exciting storyteller and honors the Ian Fleming franchise. When a British businessman and his family are killed in Japan, James Bond suspects a mass assassination. Investigating with the help of beautiful Japanese agent Reiko Tamura and his old friend Tiger Tanaka, Bond discovers that two powerful factions controlled by the mysterious terrorist Goro Yoshida are playing God. Between them they have created the perfect weapon, one small and seemingly insignificant enough to strike anywhere, unnoticed. With an emergency G7 summit meeting just days away, it's a race against time as Bond confronts both man and nature in a desperate bid to stop the release of a deadly virus that could destroy the Western world. From Publishers WeeklyThis latest addition to the James Bond canon includes virtually all the requisite components, from an evil villain with a diabolical plot to exotic settings and beautiful women. But what's missing is the biggest piece of all: Bond himself. This time around, Benson's Bond is strangely inert; he lacks the suavity, verve and wit that have made him one of the most engaging heroes in genre fiction. The story line is compelling enough: 007 is in Japan to baby-sit the British prime minister at a summit conference and to investigate mysterious deaths in the McMahon family, whose patriarch ran pharmaceutical giant CureLab. Bond reunites with an aging Tiger Tanaka, who featured in Ian Fleming's You Only Live Twice, as they pursue Goro Yoshida, the terrorist who links both parts of Bond's mission. Yoshida is a clichsbquo; monomaniacal and merciless but an interesting one, bent on using biological weapons to punish Western society for polluting traditional Japanese culture. He even has an evil dwarf sidekick, Junji Kon, the knife-wielding embodiment of a kappa, a mythical creature in Japanese folklore. The other Bond tropes are present: love interests (Reiko Tamura, Tanaka's colleague; and Mayumi, the sole survivor of the McMahon family), cinematic action and gadgets (including a Palm Pilot packed with plastic explosive). But it's Bond himself who propels readers along, and here he is a mere facsimile of the real thing.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
