Is there anyone who can make up a Bond title that sounds as if it were Fleming's?

I'll take a shot:
Angels of Death
Trial by Fire
Death by Fire

(Feel free to criticize. I don't mind it, really.)

It's really difficult because all of the Bond novel titles could be considered "Fleming"-like.

I like THE DEATH COLLECTOR. Not sure if you're aware, but it is in fact a Fleming title - from one of the chapters of the novel You Only Live Twice.

I for one am not comfortable with Bond titles using "death" or "die" or "kill" etc., just because it has been done, well... to death! B)

Oh oops. I did know. But Benson's first novel was one of Fleming's chapters in Moonraker wasn't it?

Pretty much. Benson's first Bond novel was Zero Minus Ten, whereas the chapter title from Moonraker was simply "Zero Minus".

Sounds more like Steven Seagal movies.
