I read this when I was about 14, what possessed me to read it again at 57 is beyond me. Robert Markham is a pseudonym used by Kingsley Amis -what possessed him to write it is beyond me.
I love the Bond books but this is not remotely like anything Fleming would have written. After reading it you can see why many thought Amis actually finished 'The Man With the Golden Gun' which is similar rubbish to this.
Anyway this is about a villain who kidnaps 'M' and wants to do bad things.
John Gardner wrote several Bond books after this and they are worth a wet Sunday, this isn't.
