Ahhhh... so maybe oral doesn't count as losing it, then?

And swiftly exited through the back door, I presume.

Please keep this thread smut-free. Thank you.

This is a James Bond discussion.

I always sort of looked at Person and Higson as 'off canon,' so to speak. Pearson because of the 'real' James Bond piece and Higson because of dealing with Bond as a child. So, I would only consider Gardner's discussion of the climbing accident as canon, for what it's worth.

[zencat]

Interesting. Yeah, I can understand that logic. But it could also be argued that canon, by definition, is only Fleming. Everything else is interpretation.

[dogmanstar]

True enough. By that definition, I probably would have a two tiered canon, though! With Fleming as canon, of course. And Gardner, Benson, Faulkes as secondary.

[zencat]

Yeah, I can see that. A two-tiered canon. But where does Project X fall? That probably starts an all-new tier 3.

I wonder how Deaver will handle these details.

[AMC Hornet]

...And now we know!

Deaver only updates Bond's backstory into the late 20th century, replacing WWII with Afghanistan and retaining the details of his becoming an orphan - with one twist (NO SPOILER): was the death of his parents really an accident?

That's all I'll say. Buy CB and read on, people.
