Page "On Her Majesty's Secret Service (novel)" Paragraph 24

The New York Herald Tribune thought On Her Majesty's Secret Service to be " solid Fleming ", while the Houston Chronicle considered the novel to be " Fleming at his urbanely murderous best, a notable chapter in the saga of James Bond ".

Gene Brackley, writing in the Boston Globe wrote that Bond " needs all the quality he can muster to escape alive " from Blofeld's clutches in the book and this gives rise to " two of the wildest chase scenes in the good guys-bad guys literature ".

Regarding the fantastic nature of the plots, Brackley considered that " Fleming's accounts of the half-world of the Secret Service have the ring of authenticity " because of his previous role with the NID.
