“SIMON VANCES POLISHED VOICE IS AN ENCHANTING ACCOMPANIMENT to Flemings exotic settings and stories. His English accent is as smooth as a dry martini—shaken not stirred—and he slips into other accents as easily as the fictional 007 slips out of a dangerous situation and into the bed of a beautiful woman.” (AudioFile Magazine)
