  • A James Bond author is like a James Bond actor: a lot of people want to see who does it. It's also a thankless job. I feel that IFP wasted a bit of time in the six year gap between The Man With The Red Tattoo and Devil May Care. They should have …

  • https://www.ianfleming.com/new-editions-interview-mark-pearson/ A great short interview. I consider The Authorized Biography canon with Fleming/Horowitz. He should be considered a continuation novel author.
  • This isn’t as disappointing as Barbara saying that Purvis and Wade were coming up with ideas. I hope Amazon and IFP push out other Bond products, keeping Bond’s name meaning something in today’s world.

  • In response to the M comments, I like the viewpoints of everyone. I think that EON should just use (them) as a paternal figure, without so much tension. It’s getting tiring. I do hope Ralph Fiennes gets to come back, as he could play Sir Miles, prop…
