  • Just finished Forever And A Day and enjoyed it a lot. Since Amis's Colonel Sun Horowitz is definitely the best Bond continuation novelist. It helps that he's writing in Fleming's period which he does very well. Loved the early scenes with Loel…

  • 'Journeyman/Workman' like directors have always been better for Bond films. Bond film's don't need 'name' directors. Just straightforward competent ones.

  • Finally got around to reading Forever And A Day I'm about a quarter of the way through and i'm really enjoying it. Wonderful opening with the original 007 turning up dead in Marseille And Bond getting his licence to kill as well as taking the 007…
