A great survey of the Bond franchise up to 2002. That it is 10 years out of date is its only weakness. Not an in-depth or overly critical look at any one aspect (books or films), but a good jumping off point for those interested. This, like any Bond encounter, leaves me wanting to re-visit the books and slightly saddened that the movies have largely been spectacles that share titles and character names with the books and very little else.

It's thorough and highly detailed...and I would have enjoyed it MORE, had Andy Lane actually REVIEWED any of the films. I don't always agree with reviews...a reason I actually ENJOY reading critical analysis. Why put them in his "Babylon 5" guides and not here? Bah!
