High Time to Kill, published in 1999, is the fourth novel by Raymond Benson featuring Ian Fleming’s secret agent, James Bond (including Benson’s novelization of Tomorrow Never Dies). This is the first James Bond novel copyrighted by Ian Fleming Publications (formerly Glidrose Publications). It was published in the United Kingdom by Hodder & Stoughton and in the United States by Putnam. The novel's working title was A Better Way to Die.
The
world of James Bond is introduced to the ruthless terrorist organization called
"The Union", whose brutal trademark is slashing the throat of those
who cross them. Bond and his girlfriend Helena are attending a dinner party
thrown by the Governor of The Bahamas. The Governor, who has a gambling debt
with a member of The Union, has refused to pay up since he feels that he had
been cheated, so there is much security detail at the event. A top secret
British formula hidden in microfilm, codenamed "Skin 17", is stolen
by traitors; scientist Steven Harding and RAF officer Roland Marquis. The
microdot is surgically implanted in the pacemaker of an unhealthy old man, who
is a former Chinese intelligence agent. James Bond is sent in to recover it before
the Union can sell the microfilm to a foreign power.
