It's a great novella. Far better than its adaptations and structured a bit like a murder mystery, as the Jekyll and Hyde twist was meant to be exactly that.
I've finished Meeting Mozart by Howard Jay Smith. Published fanfic, pretty bad, although entertaining at times. Going to start Six Days of the Condor by James Grady.
Please let us know what you think of FAAD. Is it Bond movie material or not? I always enjoy people’s opinions on Bond continuation novels.
A true classic.
Now about halfway through John le Carré's A Legacy of Spies.
A sort of reboot for the Executioner series, leaving behind the Mafia Wars. Mack (or John Phoenix as he is otherwise known), is sent in the jungle between Colombia and Panama, to a Arab compound, to rescue or elliminate (if the former isn't possible) a US agent held hostage.
While working for Able Team, Blancanales sister is beaten and raped by a lunatic, whose 5 previous victims were murdered following their ordeal. When the police don't seem to eager to investigate Blancanales asks Mack to step in and investigate in his own inimitable way. As Mack hits the streets of Minneapolis, kicking over rocks to see what crawls out, Mack uncovers a possible police cover up, leading him to question whether his 'killing no cops' mandate has any flexability.

Great read, really different than the movie.
