Review: Ian Fleming's You Only Live Twice is a mid 1960s James Bond novel set largely in Japan, following Bond after his staged death as he investigates the disappearance of British and American spacecraft and confronts Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The narrative combines Cold War espionage, exotic Japanese settings, and Fleming's characteristic blend of action and atmosphere.
