This book, which obviously was a labor of love by the author, is simply amazing. I purchased it after recently re-reading all of the Fleming novels. I now realize how much detail went straight over my head. The chronology alone is impressive, and the maps are great fun. It would be interesting to see a follow-up for the John Gardner and Ray Benson novels (and even Colonel Sun), although this would disrupt the chronology since a 70-year-old Bond running around the later novels would seem absurd.
