Fay Dalton continues her celebrated work on Folio’s collectable Bond series, bringing fans of the agent more of her glamorous, sexy and dangerous interpretation of Fleming’s iconic creation. In this latest set of illustrations, Dalton glories in the darker side of the adventure, depicting Blofeld’s grisly execution of an underling, and the brutish Emilio Largo, doused in hellish light and ready to extract the information he needs from his prone victim, by whatever means necessary. Balancing these sinister visions are glittering images of the casino, the cool spectacle of a plane sinking beneath the waves, and the sunlit tropical fantasy of Bond carrying a bikini-clad girl from the ocean.
The pictorial slipcase – such a feature of this lavish series – shows Bond exploring a seabed fraught with hazards, in one of the book’s most memorable scenes. A stylish cloth binding, inspired by Bond’s impeccable suits, rounds off this exquisite edition.

Superb Folio illustrated first edition of Ian Fleming's James Bond classic Thunderball. The key scene illustrations by Faye Dalton are stunning, enhancing the book and increasing the overall quality to an exceptionally high calibre. Thunderball is a marvellous addition to the Folio James Bond collection. I hope On Her Majesty's Secret Service is on the short-list for the next Folio first edition.
I look forward to the rest of the series
The weakest art work of the series but still enjoyable to collect.
