Thought I'd post a quick note to send my best wishes to Raymond on his 49th birthday.

What!? I didn't know it was Raymond Benson's birthday today... One day after The Laz! How about that?

Happy birthday to the BEST continuation author of them all! :)

Happy birthday, and thanks for "Zero Minus Ten" and "The Man With the Red Tattoo" (I came across the latter in a bookshop in - and this may cause you to smile, given one of the locations in the novel - Okayama in 2002, and my heart started pounding since I'd for years assumed that the continuation novels had ended with Gardner's retirement :) ).

Both are terrific reads, with evidence of impressive research, and locations in a part of the world I know quite well brought to life superbly. I look forward to completing my reading of your Bond series.

Cheers again.

Happy Birthday to the man who brought Fleming's Bond into recent times! Each book was a milestone: Zero Minus Ten, The Facts Of Death, High Time To Kill, DoubleShot, Never Dream Of Dying and The Man With The Red Tattoo. Good luck with your future novels, your entries will always be appreciated and remembered as some of the most thrilling stories in the spy genre!
