For those of you that own a copy of the American paperback version of Never Send Flowers, the last couple pages has an advertisement for SeaFire, the next James Bond novel, however, the brief summary lists the villians name as Sir Maxwell Lustig, with his mistress, Lady Lustug. Obviously, the name was chenged in the novel, but I just wondered if anyone else has ever noticed it, and which would you prefer?
I personally like Tarn better, because it's a nice change from the pattern of names Gardner had going....

He seemed to prefer the same letter at the beginning of first and last names...

Come now, someone must've noticed this before.
