About You Only Live Twice
You Only Live Twice is the eleventh novel and twelfth book in Ian Fleming’s James Bond series of stories. It was first published by Jonathan Cape in the United Kingdom on 26 March 1964 and sold out quickly. It was the last Fleming novel published in his lifetime.
Bond is at his lowest ebb. Since Blofeld murdered his wife all passion for his work has disappeared, but M is willing to give him once last chance to save his career. In a seemingly impossible mission, Bond must infiltrate the so-called Castle of Death, the home of the mysterious Dr Shatterhand.
“You only live twice. Once when you’re born, and once when you look death in the face.”
