"[Fleming] gathered material for his novels like a voracious travelling magpie: the people and places Fleming experienced on his Thrilling Cities tour in 1959 would [furnish] much of the backdrop and research for the five Bond novels and seven short stories that would follow." -- The Times (UK) "[Thrilling Cities] can--and will, compulsively--be read at a sitting." -- Financial Times "Fleming describes food precisely and enticingly." -- Independent (UK) "Invariably entertaining and often funny." -- The Guardian (UK) "[Fleming's] penchant for fast cars, stylish hotels, expensive alcohol and bizarre encounters brings a whiff of excitement to the narrative, which is vivid, shocking and exuberant by turns." -- Good Book Guide, "[Fleming] gathered material for his novels like a voracious travelling magpie: the people and places Fleming experienced on his Thrilling Cities tour in 1959 would [furnish] much of the backdrop and research for the five Bond novels and seven short stories that would follow." -- The Times (UK) "[Thrilling Cities] can--and will, compulsively--be read at a sitting" -- Financial Times "Fleming describes food precisely and enticingly -- Independent (UK) "Invariably entertaining and often funny." -- The Guardian (UK) "[Fleming's] penchant for fast cars, stylish hotels, expensive alcohol and bizarre encounters brings a whiff of excitement to the narrative, which is vivid, shocking and exuberant by turns." -- Good Book Guide

Synopsis
Ian Fleming's world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the world's most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the author's Bond canon. From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favor of underground haunts, and mingling with celebrities, gangsters and geishas. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world from a twentieth-century Western perspective. Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventure … and danger. In Thrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond., A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CREATOR OF JAMES BOND Ian Fleming's world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote.
