t book: "The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning." He includes plenty of modern-day swashbuckling, objectification of women, and some gadgetry (though not as much as in the movies) through all three novels; but book-Bond is definitely darker than movie-Bond, at least in the tales in this volume.

His relationship to M is quite the throwback to days gone by, or perhaps to days that never were in real life. In our modern climate of job dissatisfaction coupled with highly volatile employment, many readers will have trouble relating to the perfect, unspoken trust between manager and employee in the "Moonraker" club sequence.
