Greed, revenge and world domination are just some of the ingredients in this James Bond adventure. After oil tycoon Sir Robert King is killed in a bombing at MI6 headquarters, his daughter, Elektra, inherits his fortune and the attentions of her father's killer. His name is Renard. A bullet lodged in his brain has rendered him unable to feel physical pain, and he has but one reason left to live - revenge. There's only one man who can take the heat between a beautiful heiress, a malicious sociopath and his final diabolical plan, agent 007.

Featured Article: The Definitive Guide to James Bond’s Gadgets, Gear, and Gizmos
Celebrated super spy James Bond is as well known for his gadgets as he is for his libido, his shaken martinis, and his fancy cars. While the Bond novels mention various widgets, the translation to film gave the special effects crew a lot more to work with. As a result, the clever tools and tricked-out weapons Bond uses on screen are perhaps even more impressive—and outlandish—than those featured in the books.

Simon Vance, as narrator, offers a solid reading of Benson's prose adaptation. His characters are distinct, including fine versions of Bond and the Judi Dench M, though his Renard sounds closer to Steve Carell's Gru from the Despicable Me films than Robert Carlyle's film character. His narration is solid, though even he can't make Benson's descriptions of the action sequences work, as I found myself rewinding during them trying to pick up details I'd missed out on (despite being familair with the film version).
Even so, The World is Not Enough's novelization makes for a solid listen. Especially if you're a Bond fan of the Brosnan-era films or Benson's brand of literary 007. And, besides, how often can you listen like it's 1999 all over again?
