Now Bond has to prove he is back on form and can be trusted again. All 007 has to do is kill one of the most deadly freelance hit men in the world: Paco "Pistols" Scaramanga, the Man with the Golden Gun. But despite his license to kill, 007 is no assassin, and on finding Scaramanga in the sultry heat of Jamaica, he decides to infiltrate the killer's criminal cooperative—and realizes that he will have to take him out as swiftly as possible. Otherwise 007 might just be the next on a long list of British Secret Service numbers retired by the Man with the Golden Gun... 2695313 6 4 1965 The Man with the Golden Gun total:831|5:9|4:12|3:17|2:8|1:1| 831 2859 1112 42 177193 014200328X 9780142003282 800 37 3.44 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172446692m/177193.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/177193.The_Man_with_the_Golden_Gun 5 1 false Sun Apr 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 10:00:17 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 10:25:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 177193 014200328X 9780142003282 800 37 3.44 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172446692m/177193.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/177193.The_Man_with_the_Golden_Gun 3 0 false Thu Sep 24 09:29:11 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 09:53:14 -0700 2009 more...]]> 177193 014200328X 9780142003282 800 37 3.44 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172446692m/177193.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/177193.The_Man_with_the_Golden_Gun 2 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jul 02 11:12:31 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 13:32:29 -0700 2009
