Reading this book now. Just got to the part where the shell company was called “Universal Export.”
RED SKY MOURNING, my 007th novel, is a tribute to Fleming and Bond. Have you read or listened to it? Did you catch all the references? 🍸

Probably the first time I (and no doubt everyone else) became aware of this incredible system was seeing it in Thunderball (1965), albeit with a B-17 rather than a C-130. Not sure I’d fancy it either (Claudine Auger is a different matter…😍)
Fat Albert Scissor Hands? The Fulton surface-to-air recovery system (STARS) was a method of extracting downed airmen or special forces operatives from dangerous areas. It's not something I'd fancy!

It's the sound mixing. Especially on streaming services, so many shows have the music/background noise louder than the dialogue.

Just read "The Spy Who Loved Me," definitely the Bond novel that least resembles its namesake movie. Bond isn't the protagonist, and doesn't show up until more than halfway through. Reviews are mixed, but I give Fleming credit for trying something different. Overall I enjoyed it.
