"Walther PPK, 7.65mm. Only three men I know use such a gun, I believe I've killed two of them..."
Thirty years ago today, cameras first rolled on 'GoldenEye'. The shooting began with the encounter between James Bond and Valentin Zukovsky, at a St. Petersburg nightclub. This was the beginning of a six month shoot that marked both the successful return of Ian Fleming's secret agent and the beginning of the Pierce Brosnan era with tremendous success. A period that, even beyond the boundaries of the Bond trademark, gave us excellent video games that went from Rare's groundbreaking 'GoldenEye 007' for Nintendo 64 to Electronic Arts' spectacular original titles like 'Agent Under Fire', 'Nightfire' and 'Everything or Nothing'.
To celebrate this important milestone, Wolfram Books offers their digital eBook catalogue with a 50% off discount for a week. 'For England, James' thoroughly analyzes the 1995 film scene by scene, while 'The Golden Games of Bond' reviews the importance and legacy of its video game adaptation released two years later. At the same time, 'The Bond of The Millennium' analyzes Pierce Brosnan's 007 films and video games. 'Straight Up, With A Twist' puts the focus on the beautiful ladies that have joined the fifth official actor to play the role – and that includes Heidi Klum and Shannon Elizabeth, too!
Pour yourself a Vodka Martini (shaken, not stirred) or open a bottle of Bollinger Grand Anné 1988 –that's the brand 007 has inside the glove compartment of his Aston Martin DB5 in 'GoldenEye', in case you were asking– and sit down to enjoy these readings. Don't forget the versions available through ZOOM Platform have special content not available in the traditional digital editions available in other stores, and since we are more generous than Alec Trevelyan... you'll have more than three or six minutes to enjoy this offer, which ends on January 23 at Midnight (Arizona - MST).
It's the least we could do for a friend...
