Death comes to us all. It comes in various forms.

For some the ravage of old age can be relieved by death; for others death can come suddenly.

For a man of violence death lurks in many guises.

When death finally catches up with you it's never the death you expected.

 

Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 returns in the new fan fiction novel

 

NEVER THE DEATH

 

...It's coming soon

Japan!  Being familiar with the amount of research you do, I'm geared up for this.  It should be great fun.

The story is nearly 50,000 written words at present, so I'm about half way through.

The story is in two parts.

The first half concentrates on 007 tracking down the leader of the terrorist group "Complete Darkness"

Their are (dare I say Deaveresque) twists and turns to the chase; all of which is against the countdown to missile launch.

By the time Bond tracks down the villain, there are many scores to be settled and many deaths to be avenged.

 

The story is a timeline continuation from DECREE ABSOLUTE and thus starts in Bond's new Scottish home 'Spray Cast'

Bond's first brush with the Complete Darkness group is during a diversion  from Scotland to Vauxhall Cross.

 

The sub plot revolves around the terrorist leader disposing of a number of 'experts' in a field which could be a hindrance to the ultimate goal  to rid the World of technological advancement.

Characters from the world of Finance and Politics are introduced to satisfy that the villain's goal is something that could be approved in today's world.

 

Be sure you are up to the timeline by reading DECREE ABSOLUTE in preparation for the new James Bond 007 story

Slam bang opening.  "The eyes of a predator and the grace of a dancer."  Nice use of Q and Moneypenny. 

 

It's great to be sharing another Bond adventure.  Onward!
