JAMES BOND, IAN FLEMING'S MASTER SPY, HAS RETURNED IN HIS DEADLIEST ASSIGNMENT YET, AND HE'S BETTER THAN EVER...

AS THE TASK FORCE SAILS OUT TO CERTAIN WAR IN THE SOUTH ATLANTIC, BRITISH INTELLIGENCE HAS DEPLOYED ITS ELITE AND ULTRA SECRET UNIT KNOWN AS THE DOUBLE 'O' DIVISION ON A SERIES OF COVERT OPERATIONS TO EXECUTE BEHIND ENEMY LINES BEFORE THE TASK FORCE GETS THERE.

S P E A R H E A D

IS THE FIRST ACCOUNT OF A TOP SECRET OPERATION - STILL UNACKNOWLEDGED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT - THAT SET OUT TO STABILIZE THE ENTIRE COURSE OF THE FALKLANDS CONFLICT.

S P E A R H E A D

IS THE FIRST TIME EVER ACCOUNT OF OO7'S MOST DANGEROUS MISSION YET. IT IS A SHOCKING TALE OF HIS SECRET LIFE AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE MOST DYNAMIC MILITARY SITUATIONS OF RECENT YEARS.

JAMES BOND IS BACK IN ONE OF THE MOST DECISIVE ACTIONS OF THE FALKLANDS CONFLICT.

John Gardner once wrote: 'It has, until now, only been hinted at, but never admitted in print, that Commander James Bond CMG RNVR saw action during the Falklands War...'

Be gentle with us, Harry.

[Jim]

Didn't catch the name.

[terminus]

Excellent 'trailer', I must say. You know what it reminded me of? And this is going back some years, now. The trailer that Jacque Nexus released for his Silvertongue.

[Harry Fawkes]

Thanks terminus. Glad you liked it and hope you'll like the story too.
As for you Jim the name is S P E A R H E A D And I'll be expecting some good, juicy criticism from you on this one. You left me wanting on Nobody Cheats Death. Don't worry I'm a strong man and I can take a beating so don't worry. Hope you have time to read it and criticize. I hear you don't wear kid gloves.

I'm sure I will like it, Harry. I'm just getting to grips with Nobody Cheats Death and I'm quite enjoying that so far.

[Double-0-7]

Looking forward the whatever the name of this next novel is, Harry. I enjoyed NCD and hope for more of the same!

[Harry Fawkes]

Hi Double-O-7 and terminus.

S P E A R H E A D is a short story that takes place in 1982 and will 'expose' Bond's 'involvement' in the Falklands conflict. I am sure it will go down well with the literary Bond fans as a nice Saturday evening read. Shocking too!

IT IS ONE VERY SECRET OCCASION IN THE LIFE OF OO7

[terminus]

This, the Quantum of Solace announcement, reading To Whom It May Condemn and Nobody Cheats Death, this week is being a great Bond week!

[Red Barchetta]

Can't wait until it comes out! Should be very good!!

[Harry Fawkes]

Ok. There she is. Dare to read. As promised my new baby has been posted. So now, rip me apart Jim and make my day.


Harry Fawkes MRQ

[terminus]

Cool.

Formatting is a bit off, everything seems to be aligned to the left and squished up, but it's still readable.

[Harry Fawkes]

Hi terminus. Yes, I agree the formatting is poor. I am now working on
T R O U B L E S H O O T E R and I think it's going to take some time to finish it (I've given myself till December 2008 to get it done). I'm not going to rush this time cause I want it to be better than NCD. We'll see. Anyway, thanks for the post and I await your feedback (positive or negative, don't worry be it what it is ) on S P E A R H E A D.

Till then I'll see you

Harry

[Double-0-7]

SPEARHEAD came out in time for me to read it before my trip last night. The length was just right for a short story and I liked how it got straight to the point and the action was immediate.

Thanks Harry!

[Qwerty]

Just added a discussion link to the story.

[Harry Fawkes]

Thank you Qwerty. Dead on time as usual.

As for you Double-o-seven once again thanks for your feedback. You will get the first exclusive look at T R O U B L E S H O O T E R when I finish it. I will personally post it to you on completion.

As for Jim, I wonder if he read it? I'm still waiting to be knocked down off my silver cloud and brought down to the reality of being a e writer. Come on lad, show us the money

And what about Clinkeroo? Any chance of a review?

Ah, well...We'll just have to keep on trying.

[Jim]

I read it.

It certainly has a momentum and you appear to know your hardware. Few typos here and there but that's true of all of us.

[Harry Fawkes]

Ah, bless you Jim.

Thank's for reading it and since you didn't tear me apart I shall take it as a compliment

Thank God for small miracles

Harry

You'll notice that I didn't say whether I liked it or not.

Actually, I did. Something different from the norm, and amusingly violent.

I'm flattered that you think my opinion worth waiting for. You just plough on, y'hear?

You have just made my day Jim!

[MkB]

I finally read it!

Quite interesting insight of "Bond at war", and, as Jim pointed out, it's a shift of mood from the usual Bond universe. Unusually violent too, sometimes unsettlingly, but after all, so is war, isn't it? In a way, you fill the gap left by Fleming, who hinted at Bond's war experience, but never gave us any story about it An as you seem to know quite well military matters, it's arguably an added value.

Keep up the good work, as usual!

Thank you my friend. It is so much appreciated in more ways than you may think. Merci once again mon ami

Harry,
I look forward to the exclusive read of your next effort - just make sure you send it to Double-0-7 and not the one that spells out "seven"!

Glad to hear that Jim enjoyed it. I'm with him on appreciating the "amusing violence", especially the particularly effect method of dealing with hundreds of soldiers.

[Harry Fawkes]

Oops, sorry about that Double-0-7. Don't worry though I won't get it wrong when I post
T R O U B L E S H O O T E R to you. Thanks again

Right, eventually I read it all. Some good reading for the bus trip back from Uni today - loved the mention of License Renewed. Though it was period set, found myself viewing the Craig Bond, he's the only one who comes across as hardcore enough to carry out the actions detailed in the story. Guess the mentions of the Exocet provide set up for Troubleshooter? If so, should be interesting to see where it leads - and will Bond's compatriots turn up again (Faulks, a tip of the hat to a certain author, I presume ?)?

[Harry Fawkes]

Got me on the Faulks bit, terminus. Glad you liked
S P E A R H E A D. As for the Exocet providing the set up for Troubleshooter, is all I can say is no it has nothing to do with the story I'm writing at the moment. Having said that, yes two of his SPEARHEAD team mates do make an 'appearance'.
