Thanks, Tanner. Yes, I really wanted to gather ALL that info I got over the years into something more accessible. Also wanted to tell the story of Kate Jones involvement, which is all new.

Great series, John. Thank you! And a fantastic re-bundling of all your great Young Bond Dossier material into a much more accessible resource for posterity. I know that had to have taken a LOT of hard work, and I'm very impressed!

Personally, I thought Young Bond peaked with the one-two punch of Blood Fever and Double or Die, but they were all so good that the peak wasn't THAT much higher than the rest of the range...

Great series of articles, brilliantly written and researched. By Royal Command is my favourite, I think, particularly with its numerous nods to OHMSS. I do worry about Young Bond, though, as he's had more than his fair share of near-death experiences, gun-fights etc. even before he's left school. M never mentioned that in his obituary.

Thank you for all five installments. I thought all of Higson's Young Bond novels go progressively better and By Royal Command was not only the best but has a place in the discussion of best Bond continuation novels of all time. The only nit picky issue that comes to mind that I had with any of Higson's novels was his over use of the phrase "so saying" And so saying if that is the only negative I can come with that must mean I thought they were excellent.

Great read John
