William Boyd's attempt at writing a Bond story, and in my Opinion he Fails. Set in 1969
with nothing much happening. And I mean that nothing of any note occurs until almost half
way through. There is NO main villain, No threat to be worried about. The big reveal at the end
is a bit of a let down and Bond even fails to finish off, one of the Opposition, so has to give up
a girlfriend to stop her being put in danger.
I disliked Solo and have now read it twice and that will do me, It goes back on the shelf to fill a
space, I found it Terrible, really borning, I had to force myself to keep reading it.
For December a bit of a treat for me, Christopher Wood's "The spy who loved me ". I remember
buying my Old copy at school from the book club, feeling the excitement a few days later picking
it up in class and starting to read it during a break. )
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
What DMC, CB and SOLO clearly re-enforce is that the ladies at IFP really do not have a clue with what they're doing with their Bond inheritance, nor, more importantly, what they should be doing with it.
Three well respected, best selling authors. Three huge IF fans (yeah, right). Three duds. Quite a feat.
Though I concede someone must have made a few bob a log the way. Which, of course, is the major consideration for some. Who cares about quality?
I hoping as Horowitz is a "Working writer" in that he knows how to write an
exciting story. My hopes are high, that we might be getting a second
John Gardner series. As I don't think he'll be messing about with Bond
like the last three writers. ........... But I could be wrong. )
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
Agreed,in fact Bond himself seemed more tired in Gardner's
Later books. With Benson's first Bond seemed refreshed.
Perhaps like Fleming part of his own I'll health was being
Transfered on to the pages ?
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
On the subject of books, many of the titles of the continuing novels
Have been put forward as possible titles or indeed film, but always
Get the answer that eon wouldn't pay to use them or allow them to
Be used. So my question is....
Do eon own the rights to the continuing novels or if not do they get
First refusal on them or because they've made so many Bond films
Anyone trying to make a continuing novel movie, eon would have them
in court. ) would anyone know the standing of the continuing books ?

Which sort of briings us back to Gardner' position, the pros and cons of which have been argued above.

The first of the two Christopher Wood Novelizations. He adds a lot of Back story to Stromberg and Jaws and gives some Scenes more Detail -{
