And, IMHO, the event to which we're alluding is probably best handled in an "adult" Bond novel - if at all - rather than in a book aimed at young teens.

I hope I'm misremembering though. TWO spy uncles really stretches credulity to the limit... <br /><br />Overall, I'll be very curious to see how Cole handles that fateful trip to Paris. Since I'm guessing Random House won't want prostitutes in the story, he could have fun just Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910873055922510145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233203994322586500.post-65753310856938589032013-10-21T02:27:30.218-07:002013-10-21T02:27:30.218-07:00Is the spy-uncle the fella from SILVERFIN - becaus...Is the spy-uncle the fella from SILVERFIN - because IIRC he wasn't in too good shape in that one and never appeared again? Am I wrong about my recollections of his health, or has he recovered - or is this another uncle we never new JB had (nor did IF from his YOLT Obit, either)....
