Wonderful graphic adaption of Fleming’s first novel. It obviously abridges somewhat, but the artwork is unique, and there’s a neat element of “floating words” that represent what Bond is thinking about in a given situation – you’re let inside his head, to all the analytic processes he’s considering…

Found at a used bookstore in Bentonville, Arkansas while I was hanging out with Mark Marsiglio. I was shocked to find it in hardcover. I exchanged a couple FB messages with Raymond about it.

Absolutely loved this book of James Bond short stories. Since it’s not canon, it takes so much…license, with the character and the series. There’s a Bond/Cthulu mashup, Bond as a teenager at Eton, a couple with Bond as a retired 90-year-old, etc. It was such a fresh look at aspects of Bond that have…

This is the first novel in the Young Bond series. It covers James Bond in 1933 when he’s a 13-year-old boy at Eton. The date setting of the novel is actually never mentioned. I was trying to reverse-engineer it based on comments by the characters. Mentions of “the war” had me thinking they were…

I’m an old-school James Bond fan. I’ve read every original novel , and most the later novels . I’ll come out and say it: this is the best non-Fleming Bond novel I’ve ever read. It’s divided into two parts. The first is Bond’s mission in a small West African country, deep into a civil war. That part…

This is a great book that I sort of wanted to write. About a year ago, I made this comment on the James Bond subreddit, in response to someone who called out the absurdity of the villain’s plan: I would really like to see an examination of James Bond films for poor engineering and bad technical…

Entertaining, but not the best Bond I’ve read. It involves Bond racing at Le Mans, which is new, and there’s a very interesting post-script about how this was Ian Fleming’s idea, and Horowitz used Fleming’s notes for the basis of the first part of the story. The main plot is pretty fantastical. It…
