    Thanks for typing this review up, @Revelator. I actually found it on the British Newspaper Archive a while back after they added the Express newspapers. I just hadn't gotten around to typing it up yet. The British Newspaper Archive is a great resource by the way.

    This review of TMFB proves that Kingsley Amis was still reading the Gardner Bond novels into the 1990s. So that disproves my theory above in the OP back in 2012 that he lost interest in the Gardner novels after the first few books. I wonder what Amis made of one of my favourites from Gardner, Never Send Flowers, if he ever read it? I'm sure he'd have thought it was mad! Sadly we'll probably never know.

    Is this your first read of it? Please let us know what you thought of it once you get it read. Personally I think it's the best of the Bond continuation novels.
