Raymond Fleming??By SwordsmanIn the days leading up to reading Raymond Benson's inaugural James Bond novel ZERO MINUS TEN I reread four or five of my favorite Ian Fleming titles. I'm stunned (and delighted) to report that Ray can hang with Bond's progenitor himself.Benson's adventures of 007 are thrillers of the same stature of Ian Lancaster Fleming's. Maybe even better! Prestidigitator Benson has mastered the old wine in new bottles trick. ZERO MINUS TEN is my new favorite James Bond novel and I say this as an ex-Fleming snob of the worst stripe! The task of making James Bond fun again after the John Gardner era must've been formidable indeed, but Benson succeeded admirably bringing Bond back with Walther PPK in hand and a cigarette in his rather cruel mouth. A similar comparison might be how many writers tried to revive Robert E. Howard's Conan and failed? At least a dozen took a hard fall face first into their typewriters to crash and burn; recreating Conan in Howard's image couldn't be done (not even by Robert Jordan). Fleming's style, like Howard's, cannot be recaptured but Benson's take on James Bond effortlessly outdistanced all other Bond wannabes by a country mile. His resurrection of the 007 of the printed page has mission accomplished stamped all over it.Bond's escapades in Kowloon and Oz in ZERO MINUS TEN are the stuff old fashioned thrillers are made of. Benson's secret agent 007's foray into mainland China to hoodwink a crooked general, his harrowing fight with bad guys high above the Outback in an airplane piloted by a dead man and his kiss kiss bang bang last minute resolution in Victoria Harbour are as suspenseful as Fleming's Bond busting out of Dr. No's prison 39 years earlier.Don't take my word for it, read TEN MINUS ZERO and feel the burn of the Fleming sweep reborn.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Benson is the BEST!By GrrrrOf all the authors that have attempted to put the Walther PPK back in Bond's holster, Raymond Benson has always been my favorite. Every time a new Benson Bond novel came out, it was always a treat. He has a feel for the character and his adventures that revitalized the legacy after some of the dissappointing efforts by previous author, John Gardner. Would love to see Benson pick up the pen again with some more Bond novels!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Zero Minus Ten-A QUINTESSENTIAL Bond novel debut of EXPLOSIVE action and political suspense!!!!By CaseyI had just finished reading this explosive debut James Bond novel (in Kindle e-book format) by American author Raymond Benson just a few days ago, and I must say, I almost felt as if I were watching an actual Bond film each time I turned the page. Yet apart from the thrilling and VERY VIOLENT action scenes, Benson also well-displays his knowledge as a truly educated historian in detailing the political drama of Hong Kong's historically turbulent return to mainland China on July 1, 1997. Of course, the drama STILL continues to this very day, with thousands of pro-democracy protesters violently clashing with police in the streets of Hong Kong, passionately fighting for freedom from China's communist rule. I began reading this novel just after having flown from San Jose, CA to the Seattle-Tacoma area of Washington (I stayed over at my aunt's house for at least one week with my Mom and other aunt). With the outside temperature much too chilly and damp to go for a walk, reading Zero Minus Ten (in the comfort of the warm room I slept in) was the PERFECT remedy!! The villain, Guy Thackeray, and his menacing trio of Chinese Albino henchmen are vividly well-detailed (heck, if Zero Minus Ten is EVER adapted as a Bond film, I have some *perfect* actors in mind, any of whom could pull off the role of Thackeray with pure panache!!). I very much look forward to reading the second book of Benson's Bond series, The Facts of Death, sometime in 2015!!!! It's June 1997 and M despatches James Bond to Hong Kong to investigate a recent spate of unexplained incidents including a car bomb and an explosion on a floating restaurant. Bond's enquiries bring him into conflict with ruthless Triad gangs, a Chinese general, and the beautiful Sunni Pei. From Kirkus sThe author of The James Bond Bedside Companion (not reviewed) pits Agent 007 against worthy Pacific Basin opponents in a more than serviceable first thriller that could give Ian Fleming's ultracool hero yet another new lease on life. Dispatched to Hong Kong to halt a series of violent incidents that threaten the Crown Colony's mid- 1997 return to the People's Republic of China, Bond first checks on Guy Thackeray, the fifth- generation head of a family shipping firm called EurAsia Enterprises. Although the SIS troubleshooter gets the goods on the shady businessman, the latter perishes (or appears to) in a car bombing. In next trying to tap underworld intelligence sources, 007 makes a nearly fatal mistake and is obliged to undertake a personal mission for triad chieftain Li Xu Nan. Against the odds, the master spy penetrates the PRC and returns alive, bearing papers that put Li in his debt. With help from the grateful crime boss, Bond heads down under to investigate a mysterious outback blast London has told him is not his affair. In due course, he finds a back-from- the-dead Thackeray at a remote uranium mine; to his horror, he learns that the embittered taipan (who's used EurAsia to make a great fortune in the drug trade) plans to put paid to the celebration of Hong Kong's handover by detonating a crude nuclear device on or near the island at midnight on June 30, 1997. Before 007 can beat the clock and save the showcase outpost of empire with an eleventh-hour dash through a crowded harbor, however, he must escape the clutches of a villainous captor and make it out of western Australia's famously inhospitable bush country. Benson's 007 is a chip off the old block and, if not a gilt- edged Bond, at least a double-A. -- Copyright copy;1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.

A Good Nod to past Bond AdventuresBy CoachDAnother enjoyable James Bond thriller by Raymond Benson. My first Bond book by Benson was High Time to Kill, and I thought that was pretty darn good as well. I have read all of the Ian Fleming books except the last one and I have Octopussy on my Kindle.Raymond makes several references to a few of the Bond movies and books by Fleming. A good nod to the origins/past adventures of Bond.A good villain and a few touch henchmen and women. Bond being Bond, meaning great action and of course good looking women both good and bad. Picked up this thriller for only $0.99. I plan to read more of the Bond stories by Benson.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

  • A Conversation with Author Raymond Benson About the Black Stiletto
    A Conversation with Author Raymond Benson About The Black Stiletto TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF, HOW AND WHEN YOU STARTED WRITING. I “fell” into writing. I was a theatre major in college and spent a decade in New York City directing plays and composing music for musicals; but since there was no money in that, I became a writer. J This was the early 1980s. My first book was a non-fiction encyclopedic work about the history of James Bond, a bio of Ian Fleming, and analyses of all the 007 books and movies up to that point. THE JAMES BOND BEDSIDE COMPANION was published in 1984, was nominated for an Edgar, and established me as a “Bond expert.” Surprisingly, though, my career took a sharp left turn, for I got involved on the ground floor of computer games. Between 1985 and 1997 I was a computer game designer and writer, creating role-playing adventure style games, many of them award-winning. To use a movie analogy, I was the screenwriter and sometimes director. It was only when the Ian Fleming Estate came calling in late 1995 that I started writing books again. Since John Gardner was retiring from the gig as Bond author, they asked me if I’d like to give it a shot. While I wrote my first novel, ZERO MINUS TEN, I remained employed at Viacom New Media as a game designer. But after the book came out in 1997, I quit the day job and became a writer full time. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE YOUR NOVEL? Oops, I guess I answered that in the question above.

  • (1983) As 007'S Lesson in Adaptation Studies Traditi
    Accepted manuscript version of: Schwanebeck, Wieland. “License to Replicate: Never Say Never Again (1983) as 007’s Lesson in Adaptation Studies.” James Bond Uncovered, edited by Jeremy Strong, Palgrave Macmillan, 2018, pp. 163–84. Wieland Schwanebeck (Dresden) Licence to Replicate: Never Say Never Again (1983) as 007’s Lesson in Adaptation Studies Traditionally, the James Bond franchise existed outside the jurisdiction of adaptation studies, where the prestige of canonical literature frequently continues to overshadow the merits of film, especially popular blockbuster cinema. Though no-one working in adaptation studies would voice this attitude, the prevalent opinion still seems to be that cinema, as a ‘hot medium’ (Marshall McLuhan), “requires a less active response from the viewer” (Gjelsvik 256). Some go so far as to speak of a general “bias in favour of literature as both a privileged […] and an aesthetically sanctified field”, which may account for adaptation studies’s reputation as “fundamentally conservative” (Leitch 2008: 64f.) More recently, they have widened their focus and have gradually become more inclusive, investigating ‘lowbrow’ fiction and transmedial processes.1 Admittedly, this new inclusiveness entails certain dangers for the objects of their studies. Leaving popular franchises like James Bond out of adaptation studies certainly smacked of elitism and disdain, but it allowed them to retain a notable advantage which films that we more commonly perceive as literary adaptations don’t enjoy: they were treated as films in

    James Bond From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who James Bond featured him in twelve novels and two short­story collections. Since Fleming's death in 1964, eight other authors have written authorised Bond novels or novelizations: Kingsley Amis, Christopher Wood, John Gardner, Raymond Benson, Sebastian Faulks, Jeffery Deaver, William Boyd and Anthony Horowitz. The latest novel is Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz, published in September 2015. Additionally Charlie Higson wrote a series on a young James Bond, and Kate Westbrook wrote three novels based on the diaries of a recurring series character, Moneypenny. The character has also been adapted for television, radio, comic strip, video games and film. The films are the longest continually running film series of all time and have grossed over $7.040 billion in total, making it the fourth­highest­grossing film series to date, which started in 1962 with Dr. No, starring Sean Connery as Bond.

  • James Bond –A Flamboyant Spy B.J
    1 James Bond –a Flamboyant Spy B.J. Geetha, Lecturer in English, Periyar University, Salem-11, [email protected] Spy fiction or Spy story is a genre in literature concerning the forms of espionage, a sub-genre derived from the novel during the nineteenth century, which then evolved into a discrete genre before the First World War (1914–18), when governments established modern intelligence agencies in the early twentieth century. As a genre, spy fiction is thematically related to the novel of adventure ( The Prisoner of Zenda , 1894, The Scarlet Pimpernel , 1905), the thriller (such as the works of Edgar Wallace) and the politico–military thriller ( The Schirmer Inheritance , 1953, The Quiet American , 1955). In an outstanding study of the origins of British spy fiction, David Stafford attributes the rise of these novels to an underlying feeling of national insecurity in the face of changing international relations: ‘The world presented by these novels is a dangerous and treacherous one in which Britain is the target of the envy, hostility, of the other European powers, singly or collectively according to context’. In order to keep the distinction clear between them and us, spying was what other countries did, whereas the unsung national heroes of this new fiction were typically young, male, athletic, and gentlemen, usually only making amateur excursions into the field of espionage. Undoubtedly one of the main appeals of early spy fiction was that it promoted the reader access to processes taking place behind official history, to what Conan Doyle describes in one of his stories as “that secret history of a nation which is so much more intimate and interesting than its public chronicle”.
