The Man with the Golden Gun
- James Bond, Book 13
- Narrated by: Kenneth Branagh
If you try to assassinate your boss – despite being brainwashed at the time – you pay the price. To atone, James Bond is sent to kill one of the most dangerous assassins in the world…Paco “Pistols” Scaramanga. In the sweltering heat of Jamaica, 007 infiltrates the target’s criminal organization – only to learn that Scaramanga’s bullets are laced with snake venom. At the end, each shot will be counted.
This audiobook includes an exclusive additional interview with Kenneth Branagh.
In the interviews that adorn the endings of all these celebrities’ performances, Branagh observes something many have noticed before: books are much more morally complex. – and artistically satisfying – compared to the movies. And his performance showcases every nuance.
One of the best audiobooks is mainly attributed to the narrator. Kenneth Branagh is amazing and has such a good voice, I actually think some of the characters are completely played by other people. Love the show!!
The man with the golden gun came back to life after reading it for the first time 50 years ago. Kevin Branagh’s masterful storytelling coupled with his believable voice and character creation is unmatched and very entertaining. This is truly a fun and entertaining revisit of a classic Bond horror movie.
