At the same time, Kit turned her face to the side and it became a mask of horror. Out of the corner of his eye Martin saw Ormond’s head turn toward Kit. “What is it, Martin? Why did you stop? What are you staring at?” She appeared unaware of the attention she was drawing from the men around her, but Martin saw the looks they were giving her and felt a wave of jealousy sweep over him. She stood with two debutantes and an older man and woman, her back to the dancing couples. Even here, amidst the ton’s finery, she stood out, once again an ethereal creature. Standing not twenty feet before him was the object of his long search, shimmering in a silver gown that reflected the lights above, her only other adornments her auburn tresses and a string of pearls. They stepped into the ballroom just as the orchestra stuck up a waltz-and Martin froze. To the English Midlands they will steal, into the rising winds of revolution.

The 2003 miniseries also tries to answer a question: what would happen if the bad guys won? In the Wanted world, supervillains have disposed of the heroes forever and are secretly ruling the world. The four-issue miniseries obviously owes a lot to the traditional James Bond imagery, and to Millar's previous take on the spy genre, Kingsman: The Secret Service (which inspired three successful film adaptations), but there are clear ties with Wanted too.

However, everything changes when Roland is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Roland King was the best spy in the world, but after a life spent being "the best" what he got is an alienated wife, a son who won't speak with him, a daughter who doesn't even know he exists, and a dubious sense of morality that he had to crush in order to keep doing what was required from him. King of Spies answers the question of what would have happened to James Bond if he retired and had six months left to live. I did like the characters, especially Jake. Having read the next novel prior to writing this review, I think this book did a better job introducing me to the next dom (Book #4 - Master of the Dark Side).

Unwanted as a child, she worked hard to become a wilderness guide. Guilt-ridden, he will commit to a woman for one night only, devoting his energy to a mountain lodge that caters to a BDSM crowd. Two years ago, when Jake Hunt uncollared his slave, she committed suicide. On the mountain, the watcher seeks out evil women. I’ll come to the bar with you,” I shouted back, grabbing her hand so we didn’t get separated in the packed club. She always did think I was a little bit pathetic because I couldn’t hold my drink at all. “You’ve only had four drinks,” she teased, laughing hysterically at me. “I can’t drink anymore, I’ll be sick,” I answered, turning my nose up. “Shall we drink some more?” my best friend, Amy, shouted to me over the music. My legs had that rubbery feeling, like I wasn’t quite in full control of myself. My head was just that little bit fuzzy from the alcohol. My vision was a little blurry as I continued to dance.
