Journalist and film programmer, Laurence Boyce joins me to discuss Trigger Mortis, Anthony Horowitz's James Bond continuation novel, a sequel to Goldfinger.
Incorporating original, never-before-published material from 007 creator Ian Fleming, New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz returns literary legend James Bond to his 1950s heyday in this exhilarating and dashing thriller.
The world's most famous spy, James Bond, has just returned victorious from his showdown with Auric Goldfinger in Fort Knox. By his side is the glamorous and streetwise Pussy Galore, who played no small part in his success. As they settle down in London, the odds of Galore taming the debonair bachelor seem slim—but she herself is a creature not so easily caught.

Colonel Sun
Season Two kicks off with the continuation novels.
Kingsley Amis - under the pen name Robert Markham - started the post-Fleming Bonds with a brilliantly written adventure which takes Bond into the heart of a shifting world of Cold War politics. A book which would have an impact on several Bond movies and prove that there was an audience out there for more of their favourite secret agent 007.
Alasdair Satchel joins me to discuss. He is the host of What We Do In The Winter Podcast.

You Only Live Twice
Film critic for the Irish Times, Donald Clarke, talks Ian Fleming's eleventh James Bond 007 novel You Only Live Twice which begins eight months after the murder of Tracy Bond, James Bond's wife. Bond is drinking, gambling heavily and making mistakes on his assignments when, as a last resort, he is sent to Japan on a semi-diplomatic mission. While there he is challenged by the head of the Japanese Secret Service to kill Dr. Guntram Shatterhand. Bond realises that Shatterhand is Ernst Stavro Blofeld—the man responsible for Tracy's death—and sets out on a revenge mission to kill him and his wife, Irma Bunt. The novel is the concluding chapter of the "Blofeld Trilogy", which had begun in 1961 with Thunderball. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
