Some of the Bond books sell better than others. Certainly, there is the question of each author's 'original' style (or rather attempts to imitate Fleming's writing)  I've been told me that most of the Bond readers are interested in plots that are set in the Cold War era rather than modern times. Would you agree?  And are there other factors that guarantee success in terms of sales?

What's your favourite post-Fleming novel?
