Very well put Sir.
However I do have a soft spot for the first half a dozen Gardners although this is viewed through the prism of teenage nostalgia so if I revisited them now I'd most likely be disappointed.
There's just one problem with your editing of my post: How could Fleming be the best with emulating the film's atmosphere, when the films were emulating him?
Plus, for some reason, Gardner's character interactions sounded more natural to me.
Hogwash with bells on to you too. Merry Christmas!!
Yes, they were all written after the films started, but they also don't read at all like Fleming's emulating the style of the films, which were emulating him. When you set the standard, you don't need to emulate.
It's hard to tell in text, and well...it's you. :)
<:-P
Indeed!
Fleming is to Young as Gardner is to Campbell....?
That said, my favorite post-Fleming, ---The Moneypenny Diaries. Not to be missed.
Interesting parallel but I think youre doing Martin a disservice.
I would go more along these lines:
Fleming - Young
Amis - Hunt
Gardner - Glen
Benson - Hamilton
Faulkes - Tamahori
Deaver - Forster
