With Casino Royale a major, absolute smash success (no matter what the delusional Daniel Craig Is Not Bond people think), the attention of everybody behind James Bond has turned to a sequel. Casino Royale was the last Ian Fleming James Bond book that had been untouched by the films… or was it? I didn’t know … Continue reading
