No Deals Mr. Bond By John Gardner (part one)

The James Bond Complex

M has assigned 007 to an off the books assignment. He's put in charge of saving the lives of the last surviving members of "Operation Creamcake", an honeypot scheme that was aborted 5 years earlier and it's former members are now tracked by a KGB hit team. Worst. It seems that a double agent has infiltrated the operation!

To discuss another Gardner book, our last one of 2020. We felt the ideal way was to bring back one of our oldest friends; Emery Cormier of the 007 Intrepid podcast. This was a long recording where alot of this books elements we're discussed; Bond's salad dressing, Gardner not writing in the same style as Fleming, the history of Blades and strentgh and weaknesses of the author.
