Story
What drives the Man Without Fear? Matt Murdock was raised by a single father, an over-the-hill prizefighter with one last chance to make good - a chance that cost him his life. Taunted and tormented by other children, Matt's life was irrevocably altered after he was blinded by radioactive materials while saving the life of an old man. The payoff? An unbreakable will and a keen intelligence, helping focus the super-senses with which he was blessed during the accident. His story is one of love, pain, disappointment, and strength.

In 1972, Jeff Rice's novel The Night Stalker introduced Carl Kolchak to the world. This spine-tingling novel of supernatural terror became an instant best seller and served as the basis for the film of the same name. After The Night Stalker became one of the highest rated television movies of all time, a sequel, The Night Strangler, was released the following year to great acclaim. Now, after more than three decades out of print, The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler are together in one volume.

Very well written storyline with it's expected and unexpected twists. Unlike the original Ian flemming writings this writer paints Bond as a bit more like the movies as a male chauvinist.

A road trip Mr Bond?
With a death warrant on his head, Bond must traverse Italy, Switzerland, and Austria by car with two female companions, one a Princes, the other her bodyguard, while being chased by eager murderers. Then flying across to Miami and Key West, followed still. The chase all a mission by teams and individuals to kill Bond and to serve his severed head to the head of SPECTRE. This is a immensely entertaining story of double cross, Bond being saved from near death, interesting characters and bad guys, and human greed, self-interest, and willingness to act to extremes. Gardner weaves a tightly drawn plot with economic writing. As to the Audible, if one desires to listen while reading the Kindle, beware that they do not correspond.

Ultimately disappointing
I read the reviews here, especially the negative ones, but thought I'd give it a go anyway. And I have to say, as others have mentioned, this doesn't really reach the heights you'd expect. Gardner does write in the style of Fleming... but perhaps overly so. Too much additional, superfluous detail. It just seems to go on and on a bit in places. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad per se, but at the end I was left with a feeling of, "Oh, is that it?" rather than, "Oh great, can't wait to listen to the next one."
Overall, I enjoyed the narration, and initially I thought that the narrator sounded very much like Robert Whitfield, who did many of the original stories. A quick google search later, and it turns out that Simon Vance IS Robert Whitfield. The only negative is his Scottish accent as May, the housekeeper. It's chronic. Later in the story, it mentions another character with an "exaggeratedly Scottish accent" --- who sounds exactly like May.
I listened to this while driving around, and towards the end, I only had 12 minutes left to listen to. If I'd really been enjoying the story, I would've let it finish before getting out of the car. But I didn't. It's not a bad story, but I never felt that I needed to listen to more.

James Bond meets the Cannonball Run
Nobody Lives Forever is a great premise. A price is put on Bond's head, and every agency and enemy from across the globe wants to claim the price. Think Rat Race but with Bond as the target. Only downside is the final resolution. Bit of a anti climax. Simon Vance is amazing as ever.
