Hi all,

Just would like some recommendations on which Bond novels to read that were not written by Fleming. Which are the best? Which should I stay away from?

Currently reading Solo.

    Colonel Sun & Christopher Wood's novelisation of his The Spy Who Loved Me are awesome.
    Dalton & Connery rule. Brozz was cool.

    Whats your verdict on Solo? I have just started reading it, pretty good, set in the late 1960's .

    I enjoyed them all except for a few of the later,Gardner/Benson and I didn't
    like Solo much. :)

    +1, and as AOS says thrown in LR as well.

    I'm honestly liking it so far. It seems very "Bondesque" I guess. Good story. About 80 more pages to go and I am finished. I hope the ending is well written.

    To everyone else, I will add those to my list of books to BUY ASAP. Thank you all. So helpful. :x
