I'd use the bulk of CR as the template for the next one - keep the grounded realism and harder edged action of CR, the use of Fleming adapted scenes, and a harder edged male vocal rock song. More like LALD, AVTAK, TLD and CR, rather than dreary depr…

The only way Fleming Estate would get me to buy all the Bond books again is to reprint the Pan 60's editions in the same retro covers. And leave the writing inside 100% intact!
