How old were you when you first read For Special Services - the current book in the ?

I was lucky to get this book just after I had finished reading Licence Renewed, so I was able to continue in order. While I had enjoyed Licence Renewed, For Special Services was even better. The return of SPECTRE definitely pulled me in. I suppose it was around Die Another Day when I first read it - so that would put me at about 15 or so.

I was fourteen at the time, 1987. I had just finised License Renewed, the second of the Gardner novels I read (I started with Icebreaker). I read For Special Services on a train trip from Los Angeles to Seattle, making it the only time I read a Bond novel on a train--one of Fleming's recommended reading locations for James Bond.

I think I was about 19 or 20. Just several years ago. I enjoyed it, it was my second (and much better) foray into Gardner's Bond universe. (COLD was my first.)

I suppose I would have been about 13 or 14, sometime around '99 or '00.
