If CBn gets any more glamorous I may have to hand in my Geek Union card. Thanks to Mr Benson for the article and congratulations on receiving a huge compliment from Japan.

By the way, how many Japanese CBn members are there?

It is certainly an honor for CBn to be able to host this article and the pics.

That's a good question. I've met and exchanged emails with Makoto Wakamatsu, but I'm not sure if he posts on CBn (or anywhere for that matter). I think of Makoto THE fan in Japan. If it happens in Japan, there's Makoto.

I was just thinking, this museum could have been called the 'Red Widow Dawn Museum.'

Is anyone else amazed that Raymond Benson flew to Japan for a weekend (and is awake to tell us about it)? I get jet-lag if I go to Vegas for a weekend.

One thing we haven't discussed here is whether or not you think this museum will help lure Eon back to Japan. We all know how Eon appreciates outside suggestions.

I hope Bond 22 is The Man With The Red Tattoo. That would be great!

It's called an airline mini-bar service.

Great article Raymond.

It's a bit, umm, weird, isn't it?

Congratulations to Mr. Benson
His books are excellent. It may be Fleming's world but Benson is the best tour guide we could ask for.

Well, I'm kind of a Benson supporter already, given that I absolutely love "Zero Minus Ten" (the best continuation novel I've ever read, apart from "Colonel Sun" - actually, it may be even better than "Colonel Sun" [wow, did I really just type that?])

Wow. Did you?

Congrats once again to Mr. Benson on this; and a great write-up.

Yes, but I'm sober now.

Just kidding. "Zero Minus Ten" is definitely one of my favourite Bond novels. Excellent sense of time and place, with Benson really nailing that "travelogue" feel and bringing locations to life superbly. Not a perfect piece of work, by any means, but tremendous fun.

LOL.

I've never really liked it much Loomis, but I'm now very much in the mood to read it again. (Been a while since I last did).
