Not The Pussy's favourite Bond book. I was rather hoping that they would fill in the gap and give us L&LD but doubtless some politically correct n'er-do-well at Folio will be chewing their pencil over the 'censorship' issues associated with tha…

It’s a great shame that we don’t know more about Fleming’s creative process and his thinking behind each individual novel. Both biographies were incredibly thin when it comes to this but I guess they can only deal with the known.

This is a truly fascinating article and although parts of the text are familiar to me (probably from biographies) PussyNoMore can’t remember reading this in its entirety before. There are three things that the Pussy finds particularly fascinating. …

This does not bode well. Have they lost the license ?

PussyNoMore has just finished reading ‘The Man Who Sold Death ‘ by James Munro. Originally published in 1964, the book has just been re-released by Top Notch thrillers in the U.K. after an extensive period out of print. James Munro was a pseudonym…

PussyNoMore is a huge Fleming fan and is not particularly keen on the movies with the exception of a couple of the early Connerys and OHMSS. That said, he is enjoying this thread enormously with the informed opinions that are being passionately exp…

Bond fan and ‘Rake’ founder, Wei Koh, writes an interesting piece in the latest edition of ‘The Rake’. His hypothesis is that now is the time for eon to explode the Bond franchise and to have multiple Bonds running in tandem. For instance ‘Young B…

An interesting hiatus for the franchise and one that PussyNoMore welcomes. Given the competitive set and the success of the long form, the time is right to look at the whole thing. eon have clung on to this superhero blockbuster nonsense for way t…

An opinion that Pussy has (others will judge if it is controversial ) is that 'Thunderball' benefited enormously from beginning life as a screen treatment. This is demonstrated by a tighter plotting and a more even pace. Up until TB his works had o…

Revelator you are carrying some intellectual heft with you. If you want some ‘Spy’ relief may I suggest Charles Cumming’s ‘A Colder War’ Set in Istanbul and Eastern Europe it is a great read.

Have a great trip to Istanbul Revelator! The FX is in your favour and if you haven’t read it, travel with Ambler’s ‘The Mask Of Dimitrios’ on your knee. Istanbul is one of PussyNoMore’s favourite destinations. It’s full of spies. If you can, stay…

PussyNoMore would absolutely welcome the right black actor as Bond and Idris Elba is back in the news again as a potential successor to Craig. Elba is a fine actor and has all of the charisma and physical presence to carry off the role and in many …

No he didn’t get paid. To Gardner’s great credit, he put a huge amount of thought into Bond’s choice of car for the ‘80s and in PussyNoMore’s not so humble opinion, he made a great choice. The Saab 900 turbo was, at that point in history, consider…

PussyNoMore has just finished Henry Porter’s ‘Firefly’ and would declare it to be quite brilliant. It features a hunt for a Syrian refugee who has damning evidence on ISIS. He is being simultaneously pursued by ISIS and an Mi6 freelancer as he tri…

Fleming’s private assessment of Ambler’s ‘The Night Comers’ is spot on. All Eric Ambler’s classics are pre-war. He never scaled those heights again. The Pussy often puzzles over this. Perhaps he got too enamoured with the film world ? The differ…
