I'm actually surprised Cubby allowed this to get printed given his tight control of the franchise. Perhaps Saltzman being the lead producer on that film had some influence on that.

The Fleming quote is from his 1957 review of The F.B.I. Story.
Watching at least the second half of the film, and it involved a rocket missile (the scientists dying inside the laboratory after the missile launch), then there's a woman who's also going undercover.

It was a hasty count on my end, I could be wrong. And I don't think it's necessarily ranked, you're right. Seems chronological.
Try this:
For some festive fun, I put the names of the Bond actors into one of those elf name generators:
Sean Connery, August: Jolly CinnamonShorts
George Lazenby, September: Buddy TinselPants
Roger Moore, October: Holly ToffeeNut
Timothy Dalton, March: Sprinkles SugarSocks
Pierce Brosnan, May: Kringle McJingles
Daniel Craig, March: Evergreen SugarSocks
I hope other people find this as childishly amusing as I did :)
Oh, and my Elf name is Peppermint Twinkeltoes.
Are you also going to post on the Advent Calendar thread @Agent_99 ?
That's where I meant to post it! I was TIRED last night.

San Francisco Strikes Back
By Dick Nolan
Thanks to Ian Fleming, he of the cult, the wildest literary experiment in the world is being carried out here in San Francisco. Our city is writing a book.
I would feel better about this if it did not remind me of the monkeys and the typewriters.
You recall the theory: If you put enough monkeys to work batting enough typewriters for a long enough time, why, eventually you get a masterpiece of literature by random chance for Random House.
Roughly speaking, the monkey business is afoot.
San Francisco is writing a mystery novel. That's on account of Ian Fleming. You can blame him, all right. And the coordinator of this dangerous project is Dave Niles, the staff intellectual at KSFO, who (along with President Kennedy) is an Ian Fleming fan
For the three or four readers who may not yet have heard of Ian Fleming, let me explain that he is the creator of James Bond, the super secret agent, and of Bond's boss, M, and of the creepy Soviet murder machine known as SMERSH. Also of miscellaneous pneumatic blondes, master spies, inventive torturers, knowing waiters, ingenious mechanics, beetle-browed thugs, sly assassins, pneumatic brunettes, cryptographers, cryptanalysts, pneumatic redheads.
James Bond contends with some, exchanges airy talk with others, kills a few, gets exquisitely tormented by the torturer in each novel; kills the torturer, foils the plot and (after work is done) indulges himself with the pneumatic beauty, but only briefly, because all surplus characters have to be cleared away for the next book.
All this gave Dave Niles the idea, one night, to ask the KSFO audience to phone in the specifications for a synthetic thriller, starting with a super-secret international agent (Bond is a Limey) and going on from there.
Well! Ever since then the listeners have been putting this book together with dedicated fury. And Dave has been editing the results. It's an excellent chance that a publisher will come along soon and put the whole thing between covers.
For a preview, may I present Drason Morris, secret agent. According to the listeners' specifications, Drason Morris is five foot 11 1/2 inches tall, weighs 187 pounds, has brown hair, flinty gray eyes, craggy features. He has a small triangular scar under his left ear. He is lean, muscular and is always deeply tanned.
At Yale, Morris rowed and fenced. In postgraduate studies at Stanford (electronics, Indo-European literature) Morris neglected athletics. Nevertheless he is expert at judo, karate, use of small arms, parachute jumping, explosives, sports car driving, small boat handling, celestial navigation, and the intricate French art of fighting with the feet.
Drason Morris lives in a Belvedere split-level thoughtfully provided with a secret infra-red and sonar warning system, as well as a concealed elevator leading to a hidden dock under the house.
Drason's car is a Facel Vega HK 500, powered by a 360 h.p. Chrysler V-8 with twin four-choke carburetors. The car has disc brakes. It can accelerate from zero to 100 m.p.h. and brake back to zero again in 25 seconds.
He favors a Browning 9mm. Parabellum pistol, Chivas Regal Scotch, a $2,500 Swiss watch, a Morane Saulnier airplane, an air propelled 19-foot cruiser that coasts at 140 m.p.h., and a Bell TX-500 helmet for sky diving.
So far the listeners have been unable to agree on Drason's taste in broads. One must assume they will be spectacular and inventive.
Plot is pretty much a tangle, so far. Something about a new atomic submarine being hijacked while the President is aboard; a deadly battle between Drason and a 361-pound Sumo wrestler; and a 150 m.p.h. automobile chase across the Golden Gate Bridge. I told you it was wild.
Interestingly no mention of Pussy Galore. Octopussy. Closest being Kissy.
Tracy is mentioned under Teresa in the full list found at @RichardTheBruce's "MomJunction" list. I mainly found the list to be shoddily compiled clickbait. The only interesting things to find out were that there were Bond actresses named Claudia Angier (in a movie called "Thunderbolt") and Barbara Back, as well as Louis Chiles. And Helga Brandt was in a movie called "You, Live Only Twice" (they forgot the exclamation mark at the end of the title). Oh yes, and that "[t]he ‘k’ in [the name Elektra] distances this electrifying name from its Greek origin". Which of course is Ἠλέκτρα, with a kappa.
