Will Jackson is a desperate man - desperate to be a dad, that is. Tired of his laddish lifestyle, he`s redecorated the spare room, traded in his beloved sports car for a 4x4, and even drawn up a list of his favourite baby names. In fact, there`s only one thing left he`s got to do - find a female who`ll have his child. But where on earth is he going to find a woman who meets his exacting standards? Certainly not in the usual bars and clubs he frequents. But Will has a plan - you can find everything else on the Internet these days - so why not someone to start a family with? From Friends Reunited, through the weird world of online dating, even to auctioning his `services` on Ebay, Will`s journey to paternity is a hilarious romp through the...

The arrival of James Bond in Modern Classics at last acknowledges Fleming`s remarkable place in British fiction. The creator of an entire genre and the inventor of the most widely recognised figure in British literature since Sherlock Holmes, Fleming has a presence and flair now denied to most other writers of the 1950s. These three novels show Fleming at his peak - it would be hard to argue whether Rosa Klebb, Dr No or Goldfinger have greater grandeur or repulsiveness - with three plots of deranged implausibility and many of the dazzling set-pieces that made the early films so memorable.
