I do fear that the classy, less 'obvious' kind of titles of the past (YOLT, LALD, FYEO, TLD, TWINE, QoS...) are not going to make a comeback. EoN wants something that is easily marketable. That means easily understood across all continents. As me…

Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, In the Line Of Fire, Outbreak, Airforce One...) Is he still making movies...?

Colonel Sun I like the middle part where Bond is snooping around Athens, Amis' prose is closest to Fleming out of all the other authors, but it still falls short of novels like CR, MR, FRWL, imo. What strikes me most when reading this is how s…
