Ian Flemings world travels, interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, theSunday Timescommissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the worlds most beguiling locales. The result wasThrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the authors Bond canon.

Here are Flemings highly personal observations of fourteen cities across Europe, Asia, and North Americafrom Vienna to Hong Kong to Chicago. At each stop, Fleming casts the guidebook aside, taking readers on an insiders tour of everything from a Tokyo geisha house led by the worlds most beautiful women to a packed Las Vegas casino where fortunes ride on a roll of the dice, and beyond.

Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventureand danger. InThrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond.
