My guilty pleasure has always been THE FACTS OF DEATH -- a very cinematic book.
I agree - he captured the prevailing Eon "mood" of the time very successfully with that one.

I'm getting your opinions because I'm thinking about ordering some of them off Amazon. The general consensus seems to be "TFOD," "HTTK" and "NDOD." Thanks again!
Try to read the Union Trilogy in order if you can though (High Time To Kill - Doubleshot - Never Dream Of Dying).

Though honestly when they anounced a new orgnization that Le Chiffe would be apoart of. I imidiatly thought Union, and figured the films would go Casino Royale High time to kill Double shot and Never Dream of Dieing.
not that i'm uspet that Quantum of Solace is bond 22 (heck look at my name lol) but the uninon triolgy should be adapted.
Sadly I lent out Zero minus ten to someone never got it back...... so never lend out bond books to anyone lol.
I loved Bensons work. He was what turned me on to literary bond then when CR was coming out I figured this would be my last oppertunity to read a bond novel before it became a film though obviously not my last tiem to read something of fleming before it became a bond film . After reading Fleming I'm glad I did I have a no apreciation for 007.
Now if only I could find Gardner and Amis bond noves I'd be all set. I've read 2 Gardners Novelization of Licence to Kill and Licence Renewed.
Anyhoo I'm rambling. I do that from time to time.
To end my senseless rambling. the union triolgy.

eBay, eBay, eBay (or Abebooks and/or Half.com).
You can rather easily pick up the Gardners and Amis' Colonel Sun cheaply in paperback format.

Though now Brosnan has gone, the Benson-Bond character would have to be rewritten totally, so there would be little point in touching them anyway.
