|summary=Like Sherlock Holmes, Alice, or even the characters from the Bible, James Bond is no longer just the property of its original author. Ian Fleming may have had the imagination to create Bond, but since ''Casino Royale'' rolled onto the scene Bond has been a changing man who mimics the times he currently finds himself in. William Boyd’s ''Solo'' reverts back to Fleming’s original timeline and continues the story of that Bond, but is this a reflection of the past or today?

Meanwhile in London gifted linguist Lisette Forester is recruited by the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a group of trained specialists parachuted into enemy territory to send vital information back to the homeland. Their paths will cross as Lisette is sent into France with the aim of ingratiating herself with Nazi Colonel Markus Kilian. The mission is clear cut on paper, but life can be messier than any plan can predict.
