YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE by Ian Fleming (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“Masterly storytelling, marvelous, almost fiendish ingenuity of plot.” (Books and Bookmen)

Gone to pieces after the murder of his new bride, Bond has lost his heart and his iron control and become a security risk. M gives him one last chance to prove himself as an agent: a near-impossible mission in Japan where, in the mysterious “Castle of Death”, he will encounter an old enemy revitalized….

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator, Simon Vance. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.
