Company Of An Angel

Office bound and signed off through injury, James Bond is at his wits end. When he is called to M's office he is determined to prove his fitness, certain that a challenging assignment lies ahead. But his initial hopes are soon dashed when he is assigned to accompany an oil billionaire's daughter from Japan to Russia, traveling across the expanse of Russia on the Trans-Siberian Express.

The daughter, Yakama, is as cold as the weather and the journey is as mind numbing as his office work. That is until she is kidnapped from the compartment they share. Bond is only too aware that his distraction, through an inactive mind, may have caused him to fail in the most basic of assignments.

About The Author

Martin Bickley has been a James Bond fan since watching the Bond films on television as a child. He grew up in the Moore era and subsequently the early films he saw, such as The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker remain sentimental favorites.

He spends much of his time reading a variety of fiction and is gradually working his way through the James Bond novels, both Fleming's and the continuation novels. He also enjoys reading other fan fiction works, specifically in the Bond domain. His favorite James Bond novel, so far, is Moonraker.

He hopes, one day, to write a full novel and has found that writing James Bond fan fiction has enabled him to concentrate on his ideas and writing style since the character is already so well defined.
