I'm interested in the comparison of "new" writers of Bond and this must be a good one then, but I'm missing Fleming's punch and turn of phrase. I keep waiting. This is my first foray into a Bond not authored by Fleming. Searching for more Bond is inevitable due to Fleming's too soon death. I have read a couple Sherlock Holmes by other than Conen Doyle but haven't felt the need as much since there are so many writings by Doyle.
@@davidhull1481 Interesting. Fleming was influenced by Sean Connery's portrayal of Bond in Dr. No (1962) to give Bond Scottish ancestry. However, some believe that Fleming had wanted to incorporate his own Scottish heritage into the character long before Connery was cast. Fleming's grandfather was Robert Fleming, a Scottish financier who co-founded the Scottish American Investment Company. Fleming's family considered themselves Scottish, and he would visit Scotland every summer and wear kilts.
@@usedscar Evidence? I think you’re looking back at the past and making things fit into your story. (I am not accusing you of anything nefarious, this is the way we often look at the past to try to make sense of the present).
@@davidhull1481 Uh, I thought you said Fleming decided to make Bond a Scot due to Connery? That's what I found and that Fleming may have thought of it as it was his own heritage. Was totally backing up your thoughts on Fleming's thought.
@@d3hk4y81 Hey yourself. What-aboutism is a lazy way to argue your point. If the mispronunciation of British place names is important to you, go to a relevant post and argue about it there. Sheesh. Really? What about? Stupid. Really stupid.
In the novels, Fleming gave Bond Scottish roots. I can’t remember which one, but it is mentioned that Bond’s parents had died in a car crash and he went to live with relatives in the Highlands.
Bonds dad was Scottish and his mother was Swiss/French. His father was an investment banker who kept a home in Scotland and Switzerland. Bond grew up between the two and went to school in Geneva before going to an Oxbridge college.
Bond was sent to a privileged orphanage /Private school when his parents died. That's when Bond was being groomed for the University and Naval Academy. That's when Bond became a British Naval Commander and served in the SAS during WWII. After the War Bond was selected from the SAS to MI6.
@@elpolloloco986Bond's Scottish accent would have either been obliterated or slight as it is here. I understand that it is a tougher accent to lose completely.
Bond was not an explosives expert ! Or , at least , this was never mentioned in Fleming's books. Apart from that : John Gardner was a fascinating bloke but his writing was painfully plodding and nowhere near as stylish as Fleming. 7 hours of this is 6 hours too many....
scary...wonder if author had any idea that he might be predicting an alternative to trump's Insurrection day on Jan 6th, which this really sounds very much like...no wonder many of us are having nightmares about it !

You're delusional. The News Networks have been claiming how violent MAGA people are. Yet can't provide any video evidence of their claims being fact. Yet, there's plenty of video evidence available on how violent and hateful the liberal left have been since 2016.

Most enjoyable. A nice straight read by a human without silly music or SFX. Thank you so much for your generous sharing.
Really enjoyed this, light and easy listening, very well narrated.
Oh I can't wait to get into this!

I'd like to hear a new 007 audio book, titled, "Cold finger"!
Fan of fleming, but would put this in my top 4 of bond books!

This guy is a new narrator to me.
Yes! The story too!
lol i was searching on EVERY damn audiobookz site and now i found this?! Cheers mate.
could you provide the other books?
Lovely voice. Great story
Halfway and this is a world away from flemming 😮 gotta finish though.
Do you have this chapterized?
Not bad. Aside from his problem with American place names, I like the way he gave Bond an accent.
Yes Bond is Scottish I was always confused why Fleming didn't approve initially in Connery's accent.
@@usedscar Bond didn’t start out as a Scot, his background was “adjusted” after Connery proved to be so popular.

Big fan of james bond books and movies but dont care much for the new format of carrying the story from one to another .
I think that was just a -will try it for awhile w Craige. I think that's over now.
Is this being read by Alexander Armstrong ?
Scottish accent? See you, Jimmy.
I'm confused Bond is Scottish?

This narrator needs to learn how to pronounce Quantico. Every time he says it wrong my teeth ache.
Hey, what about the US narrators pronouncing UK place names!

Ditto for the places in North Idaho. At least he had Spokane mostly right.
@@d3hk4y81 I guess that’s on you to complain about.
Not bad. Not the quality of Fleming though.
Why has Bond got a Scottish accent?

Bonds dad was Scottish and his mother was Swiss/French. His father was an investment banker who kept a home in Scotland and Switzerland. Bond grew up between the two and went to school in Geneva before going to an Oxbridge college.
because he's an alcoholic womaniser

Absolutely terrible book. Lightweight cliched impersonation of Fleming. Nicely read but the writing is dire.
This writer is no Ian Fleming.
Bond was not an explosives expert ! Or , at least , this was never mentioned in
Fleming's books. Apart from that : John Gardner was a fascinating bloke but
his writing was painfully plodding and nowhere near as stylish as Fleming.
7 hours of this is 6 hours too many....
Terrible - overloaded with cliches & thin trivia. A pale comic book of the previous books.
scary...wonder if author had any idea that he might be predicting an alternative to trump's Insurrection day on Jan 6th, which this really sounds very much like...no wonder many of us are having nightmares about it !
What an ignorant comment......
FJB and yourself.
That’d be the TDS causing your nightmares. Just curious what will become of you folks when Trump returns, not looking good for your mental health.
