I know that Fleming's brother Peter was also a novelist, so I just wondered if anyone had ever read any of his stuff? I believe Peter was the more famous of the two when Ian began writing - yet to my knowledge he's barely referred to now.

I've never read anything PF wrote, either, but you're right, Jetset: in Ian's lifetime, he was regarded as a writer of potboilers while Big Brother Peter was the Literary Man. Nowadays I would imagine PF's sole claim to fame is as the brother of the man who created James Bond.
