Unless I've gone completely mad (which is a possibility I haven't discounted yet for this and other questions) there was a topic here just a few days ago about Benson's NEXT book after Red Tattoo. I don't remember who posted it but it said it would be in Kansas, a Native American Bond Girl, a televangelist as a villain, etc...

Where did this topic go and why did it happen?

Fort Knox, Kentucky is about as Wild west American as Bond can go!

I'd say Spectreville is about as Wild West as Bond can go.

KANSAS????????

Fort Knox, Kentucky is about as Wild west American as Bond can go! How about Manitoba? ^_^

Okay, not Manitoba, but somewhere in Canada. Fleming sent Bond to Canada in FYEO, so tell me: what the [cuss] is wrong with my flippin' country? ???

Professor Joe Butcher was his name. Played by Wayne Newton.

Thanks Mr*.

A televangelist for a villain? Shades of Scorpius or the guy from Licence to Kill (his name alludes me at the moment)?
And Kansas? "If we destroy Kansas the world may not hear about it for years".

Ah yes, that thing. I believe Dave deleted it.

The reason?

We received an e-mail from Raymond telling us that the storyline was in fact false and that he wasn't working on any such novel.

Oh yeah, forgot about Spectreville.

By the way, I'd read Thunderball before DAF, so I thought Blofeld would be living there. I'm surprised they never used the location in the film. Then again, I'm surprised they never used anything in the film! ^_^

Ah, you've set my mind at ease. Thanks, Blue Eyes.

I'm actually a little disapointed to hear it's false, I thought that sounded like a really original idea for a Bond novel.

I'm with you; it does sound kind of cool. I think I just said in another thread I'd like to see a Benson/Bond book set entirely in the USA. Oh well.

LOL! I suppose the closest the movies has is the 'mock' Western in Scaramanga's Funhouse in The Man with the Golden Gun rm1
