Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Female James Bond, with all the gadgets, plus a sidekick!
Review: Looking for a new twist on the Spy/Adventure story? Well here it is, at it's shapely best! Modesty & her sidekick/partner, Willie are off into danger once again, this time to save the life of an old friend. Peter O'Donnell has really outdone himself, in this tale of intrigue, gadgetry, & oneupmanship! This tale is lighthearted and sexy throughout, but still leaves your stomach in a knot as the action continually gets hotter until the unexpected climax. Try it! You'll love it! I did

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome, 10 stars
Review: Nothing else can compare to the great quality of story, characters and action. If you read one of these books, you will not rest until you manage to get and read the rest.There is nothing that can top these books, nothing.Enjoy my friend.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action/adventure novel concerning Modesty Blaise
Review: The Silver Mistress is one of several books about Modesty Blaise and her faithful companion Willie Gravin. Modesty is a self-made millionaire (gained when she led a criminal network in her early 20s). She and Willie retired but found the quiet life didn't appeal and among other things, took jobs for the British Intelligence network. They are both experts in martial arts along with other various skills (lock picking, flying, parachuting, etc.)

Silver Mistress concerns their actions to rescue Tarrant (head of Brit Intel and friend) from a gang of blackmailers. It contains one of the best fight sequences ever written, from whence the title comes. Modesty versus the bad martial artist.

While this little review leaves so much unsaid, it is better than none at all. It is an excellent book -- one I've reread several times and if you like action books or female heroes, you can't miss it or any other Modesty Blaise books. Jim Kajpust
