Synopsis

The Union is a criminal organization with tentacles throughout the world, specializing in military espionage, theft, intimidation, and murder. After one of its agents assassinates Bond's friend and host at a glittering dinner in the Bahamas, the Union becomes 007's priority target.When information vital to Britain's national security is stolen, both M and Bond suspect that the Union is behind it. The trail leads Bond from one of England's most exclusive golf clubs to the cosmopolitan city of Brussels and finally to an expedition up the icy heights of the legendary mountain Kangchenjunga, the third tallest peak in the world. Led by the abrasive mountaineer Group Captain Roland Marquis, aided by the expedition's beautiful doctor, Hope Kendall, and opposed by an unknown traitor working out of SIS itself, Bond must pit his strength and guile against two deadly adversaries—the forces of nature at high altitude and the most resourceful criminal minds he has ever encountered.

He relished the thought of......more

I love the old James Bond and I've somewhat enjoyed the other authors who continue the series. But personally, I think they should go back to writing about Bond in the 1960's. Some of the Bond mentality just doesn't fit today's age. As far as Benson goes, High Time To Kill is a decent read, just not......more

Goodreads review by John on December 10, 2017

Of all the James Bond novels that I have read, this is the first one that didn't feel like a James Bond novel. It truly felt like any character could be inserted into the story and it still "work". Worse yet, the author goes out of his way to explain the dangers of mountain climbing and the precauti......more
