Does anybody know when the third set of Fleming novels are going to be released, and what books are going to be in the set. I have the first set (Casino Royale, Dr. No, and Goldfinger), and am working on the second set (I only have From Russia With Love right now). Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Haven't heard a thing. I emailed the question to that new Ian Fleming Publications LTD site (http://www.ianflemingcentre.com/), but I got nothing back. Why do these sites even have an inquiry section if they're simply going to ignore you?

Thats a good idea. I think I'll email them too. Maybe if more people email them about this, then they will answer.

Good call! I will email them also!

My guess would be that (well, this is what I think the next wave SHOULD be) Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, and Thunderball would be next (I'm just guessing here, keep in mind). It makes sense - we have the first seven, minus LALD. Personally, it would be far more logical to release them in order...but whatever...

I think they should release the Spectre trilogy: Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, You Only Live Twice. Of course, Kevin McClory would probably try to sue over Thunderball.

But on what grounds? He's now credited in every copy of the novel. Nonetheless, I wouldn't put it past him...
